Pet peeve of the day: instructions on installing something on Linux that begin with "go to this website, find this page, download this file..."

fr it’s like we have package managers for a reason 😐
So depressing.
i'm cool with:
go install github.com/somename/somepackage@latest tho
but maybe your kids will understand it *chuckles in back to the future*
This is ok but then it doesn’t auto update when I upgrade my system… package managers were built for this exact reason
upgrades are way overrated
if it's working, why fix it?
this endless upgrade parade is suspicious because the best thing for an attacker is if they get many chances to insert their malicious backdoor
can't happen with infrequent upgrades
To add more buffering. Sometimes you press a key and the character appears onscreen immediately. It's very off-putting and creepy. Luckily an update to mutter a few months ago fixed this issue so now it can be up to 20-30 seconds before gnome terminal responds.
Haha true, but when most system software is written in unsafe languages, most of this stuff has hundreds of bugs discovered annually. You can’t just leave most of that soft to itself
And the input queue had an out of order problem for like 2 years at one point... As a touch typist that got really irritating
😂
