Cleaning other people’s mess is okay for a while. But making a career out of it is too much for me.

I do firmware for embedded systems and every mechanical, electronics or general engineering issue is shoved down in my court because it’s easier for people to take shortcuts in the engineering process and say “we’ll fix it in the firmware” since I can change code 100 times a day.

Slop is the embodiment of that on steroids and it will get old pretty fast.

I don’t want so spend my career un-fucking vibe code.

I want to create something fun and nice. If I wanted to clean other people’s mess, I would be a janitor.

People are uncomfortable with it explicitly because religion made it so.

Monkeys will fuck right in front of us and not give a shit.

That’s my issue as well with the bill. Just look at the crucifix at the Assembly. They didn’t remove it, they just moved it outside the room. If the intent of the law was really to remove religion from the public space, it wouldn’t have been a debate about keeping the crucifix in the Assembly.

Religion has been used time and time again to justify committing atrocities and still used as such today.

There is a legitimate debate to be had about the religion’s place in a society.

The context made it so that people conflates the two.

Medias and public debates pretty much always framed the issue of religion in public as a racist thing (in order to get more views) instead of only talking how the CAQ government targetted non-christian religions with their bill.

I understand that there is always a fall guy. Even before AI was shoved everywhere, those really responsible for the problems they created were not held accountable and put the blame on a fall guy.

That’s the neat thing, you can deny accountability by blaming the computer’s decision

Tired of the constant pop ups in windows 10. The constant upselling of their product.

An OS shouldn’t get in the way of what you are doing and Windows was always popping up some bullshit.

Which are what guardrails are for. When something change, you don’t know the impact the change will have.

By having guardrails, you make sure to limit/eliminate potential critical issues.

If it was a private company, they wouldn’t be obligated to serve every Canadian, no matter where they are.

Canada Post is a public service and should be treated as such.

Because lots of rich people froth at the mount trying to get in on the privatization of a public service.

What shell do you recommend?

Doesn’t mean it isn’t scummy. In today’s day and age, where you can link every platform with every other platform, they could have integrated their existing account system with Steam and make the game available to people that already own the game.

But there is more money to squeeze out of their playerbase.

If you stick to popular free software, the jank is limited.

The Linux userspaces have a lot of enthusiastic people that create their own software and share it, and thus it seems like there is lot of janky stuff (because there is).

It feels like Windows has been captured by corporations and so the market is competitive. There isn’t much space for enthusiast developpers to tackle a different vision of a popular software.

So yeah, I agree with you, lots of janky software in Linux, but that’s the beauty of it IMO. If you stick to popular softwares, the jank is somewhat equivalent to Windows.

You’ve used Windows for so long that you don’t remember how it was when you first started using it.

This isn’t different than what you are doing with Linux. The flow gets better and better and you will acquire the experience needed to navigate the issues. It takes time, that’s all.

The documentation is usually dog shit.

The corporate culture does not allow appropriate time for the documentation as it is considered something that cost money without a quantifiable gain.

It permeates in the FOSS space as well since writing good documentation is a skill and it is not fostered in corporations. So devs start great projects with terrible documentation.

Are Rust macros akin to the C macros? Basically an inline replacement of a code section?

Lots of your point apply to any language it seems. I should have specified new projects I guess.

But the points you’ve made are good nonetheless

I interface with low level communication protocols, mostly uart, so it fits my use case. But it is nice to see the hurdles people encounters. It tells a lot about the language.
