Watching Alien at any age is a borderline traumatic event.
I break things. Then I put them back together. Then I break them again. Just to show I mean business.

Gremlins. Still freaks me out.
This has been bothering me too for some time.
Yeah API shit was the final straw, but it was a long time coming. Honestly I’d switch way sooner had there been any alternative. I and a lot of other people tried, but nothing ever really took off even though the systems were there.

Yet they will argue with you back and forth and never really be satisfied because they want to believe it so much, and I imagine it stings a good bit being told you’re being ripped the fuck off and you’re too stupid or inexperienced to understand that.
I’m never confrontational about it, I just make it very perfectly clear that proceeding would be extremely ill advised, and that even their own worries brought them to me asking for my opinion because they trust my judgment.
It scares me how long it takes to convince them, and how often in the end they come to me a month later and I ask them how it went, and they went and bought it anyway, for whatever far fetched rationalization they managed to construct for themselves.

Oh great so now i have to unlearn systemd again?

Yeah, we should run this shit through Somalia, they don’t give a f u c k.
Lemmy.world is a fucking shithole. It’s teenage life crisis tumblr in here.
Yep, that’s exactly what I was talking about right there. It’s almost Pavlovian.
Not a film, but I read Cormac McCarthys The Road at 25, and it threw me into a deep depression from which I never fully recovered.
