Massive improvement

Well then you need to phrase yourself a lot better because that is not how you came off, clearly.

I don't think anyone welters in it when they re-listen to angsty music of their youth. For me it's just a matter of nostalgia and reminiscing.

Uhm. Like this from any other computer that you may have, someone else may have, a public library may have, etc.

In general it's very strange to not have at least a company-issued work laptop or desktop at the office if you're an office worker, but I'm sure you could find a friend with a computer you could borrow, or go the library and use theirs.

Maybe this is culture shock because I feel like on Lemmy the average computers owned by a user is easily ~13 not counting old phones/tablets that may be 'broken' but could still be made to work temporarily or in a limited enough capacity to work in this use case and ofc aforementioned corpo machines.

I don't like middle grounds in my packages, what can I say.

Docker containers are treated as immutable and disposable to me, like a boot CD, for each, I write a shell script to generate both a .conf if needed, a docker-compose.yml and run the container.

They're plug'n'play separate parts to the rest of the OS, while packages are about integrating nicely with the rest of the OS, in a non-snowflakey, non-disruptive manner.

I also hate .conf.d folders and always deleted them. One program, one .conf.

Yeah I was also an elite™️ 14-year old, all the normal girls were into LMFAO and LOL and their Flo-Ridas and BBM (what is that? Big boob messenger? Stupid thots. I was so much smarter than them. Humph! Looks are for the shallow!) and I was into far more intellectual things, like karaokeing to 'Somewhat Damaged', crying at least once to every single song on Still and speeding up the virgin power walk when the guitars come in on 'Beside You In Time'.

But then I turned 16, and I was into cloud rap, and a tad later, doom metal. I came to realize that people had varied, changing tastes that didn't necessarily give you the right to assume so much about them if they liked something I did not, it's not as if one cannot be objective about media at all, but moreso that using tastes to attack a person, or to assume personal traits about them, especially a group of people, seldom yields to accurate outcomes.

...

It is a lesson I had to learn again when my CompSci colleagues at university didn't cruise through classes like I did, it wasn't because they weren't 'real' 'geeks' like I was, and it wasn't because they didn't use Linux, and once more, and again and again with many different things, undoing the brainwashing of a consumption society to see the wonderful complexity of people.

I make music now, and I've learned to see the wonderous complexity in it too, even in stuff that's 'not my cup of tea'.

I can critique it, but I no longer assume so much about people, and perhaps I am taking all this far too seriously, and that's fine, but if that applies to you, I hope you can grow up too.

^ Millennial who got bullied when they were 13 for liking Linkin Park and made it their whole personality and their life's mission to make sure no one thinks they like it again. 🙄🥱

Unironically grow up. Those people were dicks. They're well produced songs that are noteworthy for how well they portray teenage angst (a valid part of the human experience like any other) and connect with teenagers worldwide.

No, that's not what is meant by shared dependencies, and I don't use Gentoo, I use Debian.

  1. Compile from source
  2. Find alternative
  3. Deploy in VM/Docker

If I wanted snap, flatpak or appimages, I would use windows. Shared dependencies or death.
