studies show a clear trend – output is up (more code, more commits, bigger diffs), but outcomes don’t reflect that trend. If anything, the average team is taking longer to ship worse software

burning out sooner,

I am so glad I switched.

Better to face the horror.

Sure it is.

Out of all the Linux init systems out there, which one are you actually daily driving right now and why?

Runit.

Simplicity.

Runit is nice.

​Have you tried any others before your current one?

Most of the big names. Yet to give s6 or dinit a proper go.

What made you stick with it over the rest?

Simplicity. Niceness.

Lets get ahead of this and make Woke 3.0 before “they” can. ;)

The legacy market (aka “the black market”), where the free market still exists (ironically, by being made illegal, and all the “regulated substances” / “controlled substances” in it are bought and sold completely without regulation or control), shows the way.

… So maybe if we make fruit, veg, bread, butter and meat, illegal, we’ll see the prices drop, and the quality improve.

It’s quite frustrating to watch this kind of thing, having known [for decades] of photovoltaic paints and dyes technologies that radically reduce the cost of photovoltaics, lose a little efficiency in direct optimally angled light, but gain loads of efficiency in shallow angle, ambient, low light, which is what most photovoltaic surfaces experience most of the time. … There are some types that are just buckyballs and nanotubules… and with cannabis based production thereof, we can really really make a massive dent in the pollution from energy tech, and lower the cost, and empower more people, decentralising energy supply, making the whole energy system more robust. Then there are mushroom/mycelia tech that can further be used cleanly in production of products/devices, and even, capture energy without light.

… But then, that would disrupt existing industry and plans for maximising wealth extraction, and whatever other perverse ploys beyond just sequestering fiat. So we do not get nice things. We get idiots (“those who do not participate in democracy”), in our system of governance and administration, purporting and preening itself as if it’s democracy, while protecting those who are polluting the world the most to keep people down and dependent via rents on their polluting inferior tech, keeping people enslaved under economic duress.

[EDIT: PS, for emphasis neglected: … and it’s paint! (/dye!). … meaning you can basically cover everything in it. No need to optimise angle to sun. No need to have fixed specialised panels taking up space ~ like taking up space from farmland (~ so insane). Not just all the opaque surfaces. The dye, means even your windows (in your home, car, work, everywhere), could be generating usable electricity for you. … Can you imagine how radically different that would be?]

I guess there’s more to this than on face value… Something I’m not getting… Do I need to know who that is, and what they’ve done, to properly get this?

overlooked because it’s part of mc, and thus does not show up in the text editor categories in package managers and websearches?

could do a similar THGTTG bit for it. … or other parodies of other stuff… idk, my brain not conjuring such things with ease just now.

(And yes, I missed the reference, at first, too… Thought about responding with some contrived towel elaboration).

Here’s to all the Ronalds and Daniels out there.

Thanks.

Missing the joke is always worthy as it’s own joke.

I’m scared to run that.

Is that like some kind of fork bomb?

Or is it just a tubular cat?

Huh. … I could have swore there was a woman. I even package searched, even in overlays… no woman.
