Having modular DEs is what:

made X11 a monolithic unmaintainable mess

I could never get it to work.

Yeah. “Feature parity or get out”, like dude we’re long past feature parity.

Ok, replace the xfce/KDE wm with something like i3 and then keybind all of the commands that aren’t wm specific through a global hotkey daemon like sxhkd.

No

Not who you asked, but:

• sxkhd: no global hotkey daemons allowed except the compositor

• i3wm inside of xfce/plasma: every compositor is implemenyed as a monolithic DE, fuck modularity

I still switched to Wayland, but can’t be bothered to customise a new wm

You need to understand the purpose of communities and stop spamming your questions wherever you feel like

I don’t know about how they compare in scale, but corpos were spending billions on business AI solutions, and there were specialised technologies that died when the bubble burst.

Have you seen any comparisons to the previous AI bubbles and winters?

meanwhile Albania

Thanks, I didn’t know they work like that.

I was thinking more along the line of the return 1 example.

In the real world, when an exit code is a boolean

Do you have any examples of that scenario? I can’t think of any, and from the top of my head it doesn’t make any sense to mix exit codes with bool returns.

How is Linux less annoying than this?

On Linux I never had a BSOD into an unavoidable 40+ min update while I’m trying to finish something ASAP. I choose when to download updates, and when to install them.

It’s like food, peasants compile their packages, nobles have someone else do it for them

Good point, but you can do if === true… and else if === false…

But definitely better to throw an error instead of nan.

in a dynamic typed language with dumb string to int coercions, I kinda get why such a would library exists.

If string return nan, else % 2

So it’s more a symptom of terrible language design than modern dependency hell.

Dependency chain: is-even depends on is-odd which depends on is-number

Where did you get my claims about Ubuntu from?

You joined a comment chain about Fedora and Ubuntu, so…

I didn’t write a word about Canonical bro.

Thought you’re the other dude

RIP lisp machine

I really won’t… The closest I’ll ever get to installing it is Mint, there’s absolutely no need to waste time decrapifying it myself. Maybe you’ll get there as well pal.

Fedora is indeed mostly backed by a for-profit company, always was.

Pretty much every successful FOSS project is funded by for-profits, but that doesn’t change the fact non-profit companies have completely different goals and obligations.

Not sure about the rest of the rant

That explains why you think people don’t use Ubuntu because it’s for noobs. They’re undoubtedly the scummiest distro since Novell-SUSE.
