the line will be drawn here. i tollerate a lot of shit in the name of getting more important things done or not ruining my mood but not that noise
speak of the devil stfu microsoft you literallybtold me to eat shit stop begging for me to upgrade so you can force llm nonsense my way
i still dont know why people will holler about init systems and at this point i dont think i want to know why
being abled is not a guarantee
dont ask me for os recommendations ill tall shit about every single one of them
born to write poetry forced to touch computer
every petty gripe + nonsense shitposting
this doesnt even include the numerous accessibility problems because the world is built for abled people and fuck everyone else i guess
every petty gripe + nonsense shitposting
plan 9 - i swear i need to respec my character perk tree to figure out how to get drawterm to function ever. snarf is a cute word tho
haiku - how do we not at least have a password prompt by now. did beos have that? is beos even real?
Linux - dont ask me about the 20 hour touchscreen calibration escapade and the hunt to get working funny system sounds. also a whole host of wine problems stemming from not having Vulkan support because my laptop is somehow too old.
"mesa:ivy bridge vulkan support is incomplete" moment
mac classic - ok this one is just included as a shitpost but my musvle memory from having two mouse buttons will endlessly fuck with me.
windows - microsoft will really tell you you arent compatible with 11 yet beg you on hands and knees to do so, and will gladly implement the worst bullshit ever designed. everyone designs their shit for it still which endlessly frustrates me. running old code is a coin toss.
android: computers arent supposed to be adverserial towards their users google. but youre an advertising company so it make sense you have no fucking clue what youre doing.
modern mac os - suprisingly I havent used it long enough to form any kind of opinion. cant have problems if you just dont touch the computer.
chrome os - google chrome-as-appliance
like windows does some things good
linux does things good
haiku
plan 9
android
all of these kick my ass in different ways
i dont think any os is good i just think all of them suck ass for different reasons
This clip is from early on with my current character, im much further along since this
Everytime i play a bethesda title it finds a brand new hilarious way to fuck up

I woke up to a comment so smug, so perfectly soaked in gatekeeping and faux-righteous posturing, it earned its own blog post.
You want freedom? You want GNU/Linux to mean something?
Then maybe start by not telling disabled users to go fuck themselves with a smile.
This commenter thought they were defending "software freedom." What they were really doing was kicking people out of the room. Dismissing accessibility. Mocking effort. Pretending that cruelty is some kind of rite of passage. They quoted Stallman like it was scripture, ignored real-world experience like it was noise, and wrapped it all in condescension dressed as virtue.
I’ve spent over a decade in this ecosystem. Writing patches. Rebuilding broken stacks. Helping blind users boot systems upstream doesn’t even test. I didn’t "just install Arch and whine about the terminal." I lived in it. I survived it. I held it together when maintainers disappeared and no one else gave a damn.
But apparently, because I didn’t call it GNU/Linux™ and because I dared to talk about how this OS chews people up and spits them out, I’m lazy. I’m weak. I should "get a dog."
So I wrote a response. Line by line. No mercy. No euphemisms.
This isn’t just about one comment. This is about every time someone’s been told they don’t belong because they couldn’t learn fast enough, code well enough, or survive long enough. It’s about everyone who was pushed out while the gatekeepers patted themselves on the back for "preserving the spirit of free software."
You want a free system? Start by making it livable. Because freedom that demands you crawl bleeding through a broken bootloader isn’t freedom. It’s abandonment dressed in ideology.
And if this kind of gatekeeping is your idea of community?
You can keep it.
