Open Source is a fucking bullshit hassle

Beginning of the day:

Hmm, I've been meaning to install this program again. I know just what CFLAGS to compile it with, but I'd better open it first. I go to decompress it and... what are the arguments to tar again? I open the browser to look them up. Whelp, might as well check and see what the /prog/rider is up to! Hmmm, retarded as ever. Anyway, better get back to opening that file. Okay, wikipedia is the first result, so I'll just go there. ``Tar is a substance obtained from a variety of organic materials through destructive distillation.'' What the fuck that's not right. Wrong tar. What is destructive distillation anyway? Oh cool, chemistry. I wonder what ``pyrolysis'' is... I'll open a new tab for it....

Then, five hours later, just before bedtime:

Oh shit, I forgot all about compiling that software. Oh well, it will have to wait until tomorrow I guess.

"Free software programmer Lennart Poettering has been part of his fair share of controversy in the open source community, and his latest essay may raise the most eyebrows yet. Poettering takes on the idea that the community is one big happy family and has some harsh words for the loudest and most obnoxious members. He says in part: "I don't usually talk about this too much, and hence I figure that people are really not aware of this, but yes, the Open Source community is full of a#@&oles, and I probably more than most others am one of their most favourite targets. I get hate mail for hacking on Open Source. People have started multiple 'petitions' on petition web sites, asking me to stop working (google for it). Recently, people started collecting Bitcoins to hire a hitman for me (this really happened!). Just the other day, some idiot posted a 'song' on youtube, a creepy work, filled with expletives about me and suggestions of violence. People post websites about boycotting my projects, containing pretty personal attacks. On IRC, people /msg me sometimes, with nasty messages, and references to artwork in 4chan style. And there's more. A lot more."

Lennart potty ring is butthurt about people not liking either PulseAudio or systemd the let's bring dbus into kernel combine microsoft crap. Who would have fucking guessed.

When Debian gave in to systemd, it stopped working properly. I had to specifically purge it and replace it with real init, cron etc to make it work.
