My favorite part is how this meme itself consists entirely of plain text plus a little styling.

I wonder what the fine folk of the Phoronix comment section have to say about this!

Let’s check out comment #2:

Does anyone still care, besides maybe Putin? [emphasis mine]

I see…

By handwriting raw lambda calculus.

The impression that I got from this article is that even the author of imake feels the same way, and is only maintaining it out of consideration for legacy software still using it.

Who would have thought that there would be a context in which GNU Autoconf and Automake were considered the modern way to build software?

My species uses e as its base because that is proven to be mathematically optimal. In our number system, humans use base 2.3025850… (but written entirely as powers of e using our far superior elegant notation, of course!)

No, scratch that. Even black holes radiate out the information they receive. M-Files doesn’t.

That is an amazing zinger!

I was also a bit surprised to see that Vala is so widely adopted, but it is a very natural fit when you consider that it was specifically designed to use GObject as its OOP implementation, making it essentially a “native” speaker in GNOME.

Nah, presumably the developer already has an operating system and just needs a text editor.

And what is the best tool for the job? The best tool for the job.

At least it’s Not Unix.

I barely trust natural intelligence with anything relating to security.

Yeah, in my opinion they should not have been obsessing over getting COSMIC to work before releasing 24.04.

I think that the problem here is that you are assuming that the wording was carefully crafted to mean something precise when in fact it was just thrown together sloppily. 😆

I do not see the causal connection you are seeing in the meme at all. I just see it pointing out that now is a particularly bad time for Electron apps to be so dominant, which is true.

It may have taken a while, but the Year of the Linux Desktop has finally arrived in 1969!

Here I came expecting to hear from the Rust-haters and the Wayland-haters, and instead I got to hear from the MIT License-haters!

You have my deepest condolences.

Ah, that was some clever wordplay, given that one of the definitions of capital is “of or pertaining to the head”!

most people only have empathy for their immediate family and friends. that’s normal.

Speak for yourself.
