Filesystems are incredibly antiquated, and while I don’t agree with Kent’s attitude, it is very important in the long run that filesystems catch back up.

As it stands just about any enterprise system you can poke a stick at is rolling their own customised file storage system, with a traditional filesystem typically being a misshapen dead weight sitting somewhere in the middle of it - existing because it’s the only thing the kernel can integrate with.

It is pretty important that this trend reverses, and bcachefs was a big step in the right direction. Unfortunate that Kent is the way he is.

Professional chefs are far worse.

Sometimes optimizing code comes at the cost of extra time and effort, and in those cases external factors like management and time constraints typically play a big role, but I often see projects bury themselves with pointless complexity that slows both development and execution down.

If developers didn’t have this stupid idea that they need to be typing to be productive, we could save a lot of pain. Sure you might quickly imagine a solution to a problem that e.g. uses a sorting algorithm, and you can pull a perfectly fine sorting algorithm out your ass in a minute, but what if sorting is completely unnecessary?

Questions like “can I remove the need for sorting” are never asked, and instead we waste time answering questions like “what is the fastest sorting algorithm”.

Sometimes spending an entire day staring into the screen without writing any code is exactly what’s needed to save time and produce a better solution.

I’m a different person from who you were talking to before. I’m just trying to understand why you feel they aren’t supporting Linux.

Wait, so what is this supposed situation we’re currently in?

I’m struggling to understand your version of reality.

Nah I’m sorry. There is a point where it’s unreasonable to expect someone to learn something, but that isn’t it.

Using yt-dlp is extremely straightforward.

Being ignorant and proud of it is a horrid personality trait. The average person knows how to drive a car, how to call others using their phone and how to use an ATM.

Typing 7 characters and copy-pasting a link is well within their abilities.

I switched aid after windows 10 was launched. It was kind of tough in the beginning, but after a couple years any and all concerns about this or that not working or how to do something on Linux had disappeared.

Nowadays the os feels like a powerful tool that can do anything I need, and never gets in the way. It’s truly a pleasure to use.

So I guess id say that there is light at the end of the tunnel, even if the transition seems hard at times.

Devs who don’t use git and devops properly are infuriating to work with. I’d recommend getting started with that ASAP.

You’ve forgotten about exFAT my dude. Nothing uses FAT32 anymore. All your usb drives will be exFAT.

Even after reading comments I still have no clue who this is supposed to be biased towards.

Some people have pointed out how some of the words would be perceived, but not how that makes it biased.

E.g. ‘football coach’ is a weaker term, but portrays an approachable person. Do you think being strong or being approachable is more important?

Could not disagree more.

It’s a pathetic state of affairs that people here care and know more about US politics than our own country’s, and I’m personally sick of it.

If anyone is wondering, theses are the names of states of the USA. It’s a small country that lies just south of Canada.

Why don’t they just upload the article absolutely anywhere else except for the paywalled journal then?

dd’ing /dev/sdx will copy all IDs

dd’ing /dev/sdx1 will keep UUID but PARTUUID will remain the same on the destination
