It’s really annoying. It no different from people who go into Linux forums and talk about how much they love Windows.

Void Linux uses runit, for example. Here’s the documentation they provide on how to use it: https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/services/index.html
It only takes 5-10 minutes to read and understand how to manage all your services and write your own. Simple and fast. If only systemd were this easy!
Ubuntu is doing stupid things with packages, replacing them with their proprietary packaging system (called Snap). It has been controversial, the way that they are pushing it, especially since the Snap server is proprietary and non-open source.
A lot of people won’t consider using Ubuntu at all for this reason alone, and it makes sense - when you consider that there are so many other distros to choose from these days, Ubuntu just doesn’t really provide a whole lot of added value anymore.
I’ve seen even worse! Sticky headers with sticky sidebars on both sides. Only about 10-15% of the viewport was left for content. And this is for documentation, so you can only read about 100-200 words at once.
Why even bother having a webpage at that point. Just make the whole thing a non-interactive .png file.
Sticky headers. Unbearably distracting.
Also, wasted space and a lack of information density.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: presidential systems suck. I’m not an expert on Polish politics, but it seems at the very least like the Poles were given a good choice of a candidate. Still, having too many people voting for a single candidate for a single office repeatedly leads to bad outcomes. France, Turkiye, USA - now we can add Poland to the list too.
Abolish presidencies! Embrace parliamentary systems!
100% agree. But I like posting articles like these because it brings me back to how I learned programming, and Linux specifically - namely by reading a bunch of articles from similar link aggregators and sharing sites.
My hope is that sharing articles like these is a form of planting the seeds for another cycle for people to learn the way that I did.
Agreed. Incumbents always do worse in the next election. Makes me shudder to think what the result of the next election is going to be. Trudeau’s latest term was really bad and they got no punishment for it whatsoever thanks to the gift from the south. And Canada seems to be moving further and further away from proportional representation. So who will voters swing to next election?
Great result for today’s Canadians. Terrifying result for future Canadians.
Git turns 20: A Q&A with Linus Torvalds
Pretty sure he’s older than that. And calling people names isn’t nice!
The handbook is outstanding. Read as much of it as you can. Even if you’re not a Void user, you’ll learn so much!
