@Skirmisher @Canageek what would i do without my 12000 kernel configuration options... wouldn't even have a choice to make my kernel unbootable

derailing work chat by talking about trains

@lanodan @theresnotime it's a really big maine coon

@theresnotime a friend has a cat named malloc so it's obviously a cat

@tante it never did, though not just for that reason

(when i read "open source", i think a corporate-aligned thing where the primary purpose is to cut costs and exploit)

the horrible people always win don't they

if we assume that there is no inherent purpose to existence, and the only thing we have on top of basic instincts is our sentience, because without it all that is left is an automaton -

that would mean that the only fundamentally meaningful thing is making use of it

if we assume that greed is innate, and our current society is driven by it -

that would mean it has failed, because that makes it not only purposeless, but also explicitly harmful by creating unnecessary struggles and suffering

place your bets, will i miss my connection in frankfurt again...

when you do make it but instead of getting you to the plane they pack you into a bus that feels like it's 40c in it and take you for a tour across the whole place

otoh i feel like giving the circumstances the frankfurt airport logo is just perfect

@lanodan square enix when hip enix comes in

whenever i go anywhere and attend anything involving any amount of physical exertion my hair be like "let's become a big volume of untameable fluff"

so tired...

also wonder if i'm getting covid before i arrive or only during

orange

reaching the cercanias train is as confusing as ever for sure

also saw a train station guy literally slap a tv screen and it broke and then he was like "nothing to see here, move on"

mornyan...

hm half an hour too early

inb4 forgor something

today it's this one

hm getting a little tired of the constant "chimera linux is like, so weird man, them wacky developers pulling tricks like that, you should use it, you know, as a joke" talk i see in places

i'm like, trying to put a bunch of thought into how things should be working, y'know, to make something nice and usable, that others can enjoy using (and being a part of), and that is not different for the sake of it but to push things forward

i wouldn't sink in anywhere near as much time otherwise...

@elly @famfo true lelnovo moment was when i had a recent amd thinkpad with qualcomm wifi and wanted to replace it with an ax210 and it turned out the wifi is a module but also soldered to the mainboard

@cafkafk it's not just these people unfortunately

foss these days has turned into "open source" and it's become a corporate cost cutting measure with everything done around that...

which means the whole aspect of the community doing something to make computers *and* the society a bit better for everyone else has vanished, and we're left with this husk that's just depressing and wrong

i think the biggest mistake was thinking that we could get around that with licensing nonsense
