Re:Enlightenment 0.28.0 Release on Monday November 02, 2026 @05:29AM (#50335086)
This is the greatest window manager I never really used. Back in the days it looked very futuristic, a lot of promises but in the end not really fit for daily driving purposes. Came back quite a few times to it but never a real competitor.
At this point separation is pretty much an illusion. I cant keep up with the amount of priv escalation vulns anymore.

I am working on a human apocalypse bunker, my AI instructed me to do this.

Perhaps counter intuitive but beauty standards are not simply just sentiment.

To be fair, hosting your own email server is just a pain in the ass.
I regret learning mermaid. The ecosystem is absolutely terrible.

AI slop.

Call me old fashioned but I still collect FLAC files on my server. Using plex on my mobile devices is great, even in my car things just work. The pain of manually editing metadata is long gone, the horror shudders
Re:Show HN: Free Mermaid Diagram Editor on Wednesday July 08, 2026 @01:50AM (#48828027)
Thanks for dropping this here. I have been frustrated for quite some time. I blindly followed the advice to learn some mermaid. Then I discovered that the ecosystem absolutely sucks.

That is one gigant If indeed.

Just a little bit lower before it can go up again.

Burning tax money. I dare to bet this will never lead anywhere.
Re:WSL 2 is getting faster Windows file system access on Monday June 08, 2026 @03:00AM (#48442096)
Sure that makes sense. Maybe I am just spoiled.

Give me one good reason why anyone would bother with any of this at all?

Inflation will do that for you. Government spending and money printing are the primary problems, the rest is noise.
Corporate wankers

You don't think employers have to compete for employees? Are you not putting down terms for your contract or do you just sheepishly accept anything offered to you? Not to mention the massive train wreck called state ran pensions, do you really want to get into that?
Re:We've made the world too complicated on Monday May 18, 2026 @05:52AM (#48177383)
You confuse a colossal government that has its tentacles in every aspect of life with people working together to achieve things. All of the above can be achieved though the market arguable much more efficient than by far away bureaucrats at a fraction of the cost.

We've made government so involved that we can not escape. My radical believe is that I just want to be left alone. In theory I have enough investments to live off if it wasnt for taxes and inflation. In theory I could buy a plot of land and take care of myself. An easy and simple existence. I know all very radical..
