Finally we are being honest. Amzn is a flea market.

sorry I thought this was a parody site.

They would like to own every step of the process, and people actually put in the time to build apps on their platform and people line up to buy their hardware. Wake me up from this…

Put up or shut up fool. Anyone can write a blog asking for a rewrite. Until you start taking real actions, you can't be taken seriously by the people who actually matter to these p…

>sql alternative #1427904 that absolutely nobody will ever use Love it or hate it, sql is a standard and there is a ton of knowledge (stackoverflow answers, books, tutorials) and t…

Doesn't understand the difference between free-lance software engineer and indentured gypsy cab driver. ...not going to make it.

Rightful king of the top comment. I got a phone that is just usb-c. Carrying around the adapter sucks, and Bluetooth is an even bigger pain in the ass.

It's easier to pull out a soapbox and make ridiculous speeches like these, than to actually make a gui application. If you're making something for free or for fun, then let curiosi…

Great point. You could say that the "lies" are propaganda, as much as the advertisement that they are the vehicle for. Inundated with this much propaganda, which points to the impo…

Ah yes, the "computer as glorified typewriter" blog post. Needless to say, I think these appeal to people because: Encourage consumption (of old/novelty hardware) Promise of "produ…

Love to see the Perl team discussing these issues in such a thoughtful way. Over the years I have learned to value stability and backwards compatibility, through hard lessons (whic…

When 1 company is responsible for the most cancerous, complicated, baroque, developer-hostile libraries? I think it's fine to ask these questions. Would you create a new open-sourc…

I still use tcl/tk and it's still the best choice for apps of modest requirements, in my opinion. It's stable (unlike gtk), and truly free (unlike qt, which is also a c++ behemoth)…

This is the comment I wish I had made. The transition from 2 to 3 was terrible for end users, distros, and app developers. I wonder if redhat is trying to embrace/extend/extinguish…

StatusIcon and AppIndicator is extremely annoying. Clientside decorations, ridiculous headerbar, button+hamburger menus, etc, etc. They are trying their absolute hardest to copy Ma…

GTK is openly hostile to 3rd party developers and theme makers, ever since gtk became synonymous with gnome (around 3.0). This is going to be a nightmare for open-source developers…

Lain is certified midwit tier. It appeals to the r/iamverysmart types.

If you want to 10x, I suggest an anime username as well.

For fucks sake if you are trying to make money, why are you doing open source? Or, to put it another way, if you are doing open source, why are you so hung up on getting paid for i…

You left out the worst of them: Twitter. Slot-machine of the internet. rage, outrage, xenophobia, name-calling, name-dropping, celebrity, manufactured 140 chars at a time. It's a c…

I think it's a factor of these systems being cheap. Cheap software, cheap cameras, cheap storage, cheap compute. It's a shame we don't have a better use for all that stuff.

(triggered) I mean, I carry my phone around in my pocket, so I kinda expect at least big Google is watching me. And probably the cell network. And probably the government, passivel…
