• LTS Linux distros are not good for desktop usage and terrible for beginners. (And for servers too but a bit less ig).
• The current distribution model of Linux apps is garbage. The concept of package maintainers, in most cases, is just redundant, duplicated work.
• Bash is horrible and relying on it for anything else than personal scripts gets messy really fast.
• Having a standard “platform” in Linux is key.
• SystemD is actually good, not perfect but very powerful.
• Apps not using Portals are a crime.

Obviously written by NixOS sectarian.

• Mental illness or/and a disability aren’t excuses for shitty/abusive behavior.
• No, having certain skintones doesn’t magically make you immune to skin cancer, wear your fucking sunscreen.
• Boiled eggs > fried eggs.
• If people need it to survive, then it should be free.
• Littering should be punishable with jail time.

The red nub on IBM/Lenovo laptops is far superior to a touchpad

I’ve said it somewhere earlier today, I’ll say it again here. I think Windows XP was bad, and that Vista was good.

But Windows in general is still absolute rubbish anyway.

People should be educated on FOSS software & Fediverse and try to use it whenever possible.

Python sucks.

Not only is it extremely inefficient, it is also a pain in the ass to work with if you have to use APIs that heavily rely on dynamic type wrapping and don’t provide stubs. Static analysis via Pylance is not possible then and you’re basically poking around in the dark, increasing the difficulty enourmously to get to know such an API. Even worse if there isn’t even a halfway decent documentation.

People on Lemmy aren’t “normal” people and shouldn’t use their personal views as the norm.

Both employer related:

• no biometrics
• birthday not for sale

There shouldn’t be borders.

Being vegan is a moral base line.

• No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.
• Static typing sucks.

People without empathy shouldn’t have the right to lead people (politics, work, …).

There should be an upper limit to personal wealth.

Russia should be denuclearised and split up.

Not shower every day depends very much on the situation.

In summer there are certain coworkers who most fuckingly definitely should shower every day unless I’m allowed more wfh.

Summer is a crappy season, fall is superior.

• Laptops should be thick and durable with good keyboards (like old Thinkpads)
• MacOS isn’t as bad as people here say, its still a Unix-based OS and that alone makes it superior to Windows
• Arch Linux is severely overrated
• Debian Linux is extremely underrated
• Alpine Linux is great on low end laptops
• Fedora Linux is the best distro for newcomers
• Rust belongs in the Linux kernel
• GPL > MIT/BSD
• Tiling > stacked
• AI sucks
