It's another few days with websockets, broken sorting, a front-page-breaking bug, and no 2FA. Plus the site is even more broken for everybody running the latest version of Jerboa till 0.18.0 gets installed.

v0.18.1 is released before upgrading (which shouldn't take more than a few days)

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, and an update that fixes bugs which break basic functionality is worth upgrading for immediately rather than waiting for over-the-rainbow. 2FA alone makes it pretty much not a realistic discussion, honestly.

It's Nerf or nothing

Anecdotally, I've met almost two dozen people with high level engineering degrees who were about as sharp as a bowling ball when it came to literally everything besides their coursework. Each one of them with whom I shared my perspective that "critical thinking skills are all that matter for measuring intelligence, not the ability to memorize data; chimpanzees can do that better than we can anyway" reacted very negatively, which I've always thought was interesting.

I don't want to imply that everyone with an advanced STEM degree is a dullard and a weiner, a drone who can only produce results if he memorizes reams of other peoples' work. It's just an overrepresentation peculiar to that kind of field, just like how the humanities have an eternal plague of arrogant dicks who got philosophy all figured out at age 14.

I mean, all you have to do is click on Dessalines' profile, his banner image is Chairman Mao. He also posted on reddit years ago bitching that r/Socialism banned him for his beliefs, which of course were posting LaRouche cult nazbol nonsense and genocide denial. It's all right there on Google dude. Plus you can see removals on the mod logs.

The admins are tankies and remove tons of content as being Orientalistic or some shit. It's pathetic.

I don't like systemd. Reasons:

  • broad scope and lots of dependencies are more or less the exact opposite design philosophy of *nix

  • putting too many eggs in one basket intrinsically increases the attack vector and also decreases stability

  • bloated

Most importantly:

  • Gives Red Hat i.e. IBM too much influence over Linux

I feel compelled to point out that lean is made with a codeine-based cough syrup, whereas NyQuil is diphenhydramine. Lean with codeine gets you high, lean with diphenhydramine is basically just Benadryl Soda and it won't get you high unless you have enough that it starts giving you dementia.

No because people will just make a new one on a different instance and forget about you
