@mcc me thinking about using systemd: "I don't understand why people are so mad about this, launchd is better than sysv init, this is just launchd for linux, I guess they couldn't just port it because some low-level stuff is different but I'm sure it's basically the same"

me actually using systemd: "fuck fuck what is this shit what the fuck why didn't they just actually port launchd to linux, there's no excuse for this"

KevinOfComputer,

@xgranade My personal (unfounded) belief is that PowerShell would be much better if it had been developed as a language rather than a tool for sysadmins. You get all sorts of weird stuff that comes out of the desire to make certain "shortcuts" work for them.

React, Electron, and LLMs have a common purpose: the labour arbitrage theory of dev tool popularity: https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2024/react-electron-llms-labour-arbitrage/

KevinOfComputer,

@baldur Great post!

Just curious, do you have any opinion on "You Deserve a Tech Union" compared to "The Tech Worker's Guide to Unions"? I've been wanting to get one, but not sure which.

Looking into how to set up a bluesky server.

Noticed this bit here, in the documentation. That's an interesting way to spell "cannot"

KevinOfComputer,

@mcc Apologies if you're not looking for advice, and you've likely already done this, but could try strace with -f to follow child processes?
