I had it when some minor update caused #fishShell to interminably hang (all because my home directory was network mounted).
My general tech advise to average people: Never update anything that already works.

Looking at you, literally every meme systems programming lang

Looking at you with extreme prejudice, every meme shell 😠

If your project aims to become a fixture in the computational substrate of infrastructure on top of which everything else runs

I will have pretty high standards for your work

Well, I'm late to the party, but already have some (original, never-before-seen) content:
gemini://gemini.zachdecook.com/capsule/2020-11-01-action-jones.gemini
Action Jones (The Story of a Lost Piece of Cultural History)

How a (formerly) online webseries captured my imagination, and the grief of its loss to the world.

Regex routes and reverse proxying are the main remaining features before it's 1.0 ready I think

> [some twitter followers] asked why I’m troubled by a core system component using hundreds of megabytes of memory to ... do nothing.

Well, they are using twitter... proprietary software users don't always have the best judgement.

Does the Snap Store Use Too Much Memory?

"We moved to GitHub because everyone's already there"

"We shut down the mailing lists because most of our users prefer to use GitLab in their web browser"

"We're rewriting in Rust because we don't really have any non-x86_64 users"

"We're leaving IRC because Discord is more user-friendly"

What all of these arguments have in common is that they exclude people, centralize infrastructure, and eschew free software for proprietary solutions, all in the name of some ill-defined measure of "progress".

How about instead of corporations clothing random idiots in their advertising in exchange for flooding FOSS maintainers with garbage, we provided strong mentorship to a new generation of engineers under the tutelage of maintainers whose sustainable careers are guaranteed by the direct financial support of those same corporations?

This is simultaneously my first Pokemon comic... and my first C comic.

Big day. Big, big day.

The world would be a better place where, when someone encounters something confusing or which doesn't meet their preconceptions, they first tried to learn and understand it before rewriting a bunch of software and shoving all of their notions of correct into the domain

This one is kind of subtle so to be clear I'm talking about the influence of windows and mac on linux
