The year is 5019. Humans, as we know them, are long gone. The Earth is inhabited chiefly by advanced, sapient machines.

"moped" is such a stupid word for a scooter.
"motorized pedestrian" should refer instead to a specific type of mech.

Updated my #Liberapay profile (https://liberapay.com/algernon/), to reflect that the donations through Liberapay are going to be used to buy keyboards to port #Kaleidoscope and #Chrysalis to.
First day using wireguard. So far it looks pretty cool and I may only have to file one bug against the ubuntu package.

A time traveller from the 2000's visits a modern software company
traveller: all your laptops have 32 GB of RAM in them?! Your devs must be doing some really heavy stuff, what the hell do they need all that memory for?
guide: web browsing.
traveller: ...you fukken wat mate?

Serious question.
So I watched the systemd-resolvd video from fosdem.
Unfortunately the audio crapped out at inconvenient times and it was not quite clear from the slides: Does systemd-resolvd figure out what works on its own or is the user supposed to push buttons? Like you are behind a crappy middle box that doesn't like edns options. Does systemd stop sending them on its own? What about middle boxes stripping RRSIGs? Will it stop doing validation or does the user need to push a button?

When SMTP developers meet in real life they greet each other with a secret handshake, consisting of a misspelling of the word hello and listing their skills
And JIRA also fails to work without a reload after a single click while disconnected.
And overall I hate the world in general and computers especially today.
Yeah, KDE is nice and some things about more modern fancy distros are cool, but my Debian + xmonad + wpa_supplicant + dhcpcf frankensetup connects faster to my wifi than I can type my password after waking up, 100% reliable.
KDE + network-manager is not 100% reliable and slow. Meh

linux in a nutshell
If your tool doesn't allow for "TOOL install <downloaded file>" and gives just a cryptic error message, then your tool's UI simply sucks.
Looking at you, snap.
