️My computing experience at work has gotten worse over the years (with the exception of OneDrive and Excel tables), but I get to go home and work with PCs that run free software that performs so much more slickly and unobtrusively. Thank you FOSS devs!

️Is working in the industry that soul-sucking? (I wouldn't know, I can barely center div)

Speaking from the more sysadmin side of things it can certainly feel that some days. Particularly with the never ending wave of half baked saas apps that my org seems to love acquiring.

️wrote on last edited by [email protected]I finished The Left Hand of Darkness this week. I can only imagine how rock solid Linux would be in a world like that, where nearly 100 planets could cooperate on it instantaneously.

It's pretty shit. The constantly shifting priorities means we're in an endless loop of making no progress on the main project, which is just a business management app.

If you identify yourself to your work outcome it sucks your soul, but if you don’t you become nihilistic so it’s all about finding the balance.
More seriously it depends a lot on team/project/management but mostly you gotta really like troubleshooting, translating requirements+caffeine into code and defend/discuss your decisions. Working on a fresh clean codebase tends to be much more satisfying. -

lol those are actually two seperate Le Guin novels (The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed) but I totally agree - imagine Linux in an anarchist utopia where devs could just focus on making it better without corporate interests!

You're right, I think my brain fell out a bit when I said that lol.
I've just started The Dispossessed.

I'd think in such a world, it would very quickly become the dominant operating system.
