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.

Make sure it supports systemd.

I heard Android L is using systemd now.

Poettering? In the 4chinglings?

let's bring dbus into kernel

The giant questions is: why fucking dbus, why, why fucking why dbus, we have a giant list of poop IPC and they selected fucking dbus, I don't even know if there is worse IPC than dbus.

dbus is a Freedesktop project, just like systemd.

At least it's not CORBA. Now that would really make it Red Hat ENTERPRISE Linux

install solaris

open source is a tool of the patriarchy

I have a specially constructed keyboard for use with my penis. I only use it to write open source software.

GNOME used CORBA before dbus (as far as I know), they repalced it with dbus because it sucked more.

While COPRA had its shortcomings, nothing compares to dbus shittiness-wise.
