>>19I've been tempted to try out slack myself, but I'm desparately clinging to the idea that I should get shit done besides tuning my operating system.
Related to what you were saying, I can't believe they let the guy who developed PulseAudio anywhere near a project, let alone one that has the potential to brick machines. Early in my use of Ubuntu I had to reinstall because of that piece of shit. I honestly still don't know what happened, but messing around with it after an accidental overwrite of one of its dependencies resulted in the destruction of my DE. I'm willing to accept that I was doing retarded shit, but when I did (and do) retarded things in other parts of my system, it doesn't cost me my fucking computer. And now the init system depends on this feelings-first Cathedral developer.
