Linux. It gets bigger and slower with every update, and 90% of its software is half cooked including Wine which turns 30 y/o next year... If the bar for OSs wasn't so low Linux would have gone extinct ages ago.

Linux sucks for all the same reasons Windows sucks.
Big, slow, complicated, broken, terrible interface(s).

And it gets praise for the same reason Windows gets praise: its users have never tried anything else, so they think their experience is normal and things have to be that way.

This is the end result of all that "let's bring all the Windows users to Linux" bullshit: they made Linux into the new Windows. These are the same people who think importing niggers to Europe will make them behave like white people.

Just downloaded Opera for 3 seconds to see if it played Flash games but I think the actual website no longer loads the flash resources. And just look at it. It looks like a desktop. People literally have an operating system in their operating system. Everything in that second OS opens up over the network. Plan9 truly was ahead of its time.

The 'funny' thing is? As a kid, I was a huge macfag from OS9, to OSX 1.3. Once lion came out, I ended up hopping to windows 7, and eventually to linux.

Fuck apple, they ruined my childhood memories and became the very monster they claimed they weren't.

Agree on all but the last one. Windows never suffered from terrible interfaces pre-8/8.1, and even after 8/8.1 the interfaces were still not as bad as a literal niggerbox TUI despite being dogshit.
>its users have never tried anything else, so they think their experience is normal and things have to be that way.
This 100% applies to the average die-hard Linux user. In my personal experience though (Windows->Linux) I've discovered new features in Linux that I just can't live without now... The Windows and Linux userbases need to cross-pollinate as much as possible for their own benefit.
>they made Linux into the new Windows
Lmao not even close. Software (and hardware) never just work, programs are entirely TUI-based or have retarded GUIs, no real alternatives to professional tools...etc.
The only "Windows" feature Linux inherited is the bloat and abysmal processing speed.

>>5516

>TUI is bad
Yeah do you assume all screens are touchscreens as well? Fucking winigger. Terminal is efficient for many applications. Just because you have adhd and shit reading skills doesn't mean it is bad.
Guis suck, window systems and display suck even more. Graphics is the single most cancer thing ever happened in the world of computing. They attract normalfags who only understand the world as a series of sprites, icons and more recently emojis (they even need pictures in text to say anything). Text is efficient and universal. Graphic engine of any kind takes much more computation and they are generally unnecessary. Things that can be done in a keystroke now takes a click and movement after having to shift your hands to the mouse or touchscreen. A simple stdin/stdout byte stream becomes impossible mess to program on one's own (framebuffer maybe).

Honestly that's part of the fun of using imageboards... But it's not always like this, sometimes discussions don't have much shit flinging. Depends on the board and the topic being discussed.
The healthiest discussion forum I've seen that's still alive and active right now is HN, I visit it almost daily now alongside /tech/.

>>5510
I don't want to believe someone actually said "linux users have never tried anything else" but he is most likely not even a bot. You can't live your life without using windows soo every linux user used windows in the past and probably still use it for reasons. both sides are same argument is objectively false in this context, all linux users used windows while most windows users don't even know what linux is nor have the tech literacy to use linux.

Linux has million legitimate issues and people still make shit up to argue against it.

>>5540
I've done nearly all my programming work on plain text consoles (often not even graphical framebuffer). Ditto with sysadmin work. So long as a user can run his favorite text editor or Emacs-OS or whatever, there's no need for anything more than plain ASCII or UTF-8, because the system commands and programming languages are all in english. You might need some graphics terminal if you're working with chinese moon runes or something, but for just UTF-8 you don't. Here a plain text terminal that allows redefining or loading custom fonts/charsets is enough.

Technology is a service that we use. We pay for it but we have little say in how it's made. It's intended for profit, not to be optimal. Until we get our own technology sector, we're stuck tolerating what we're subjected to.

UTF-8 supports CJK just fine, you have no idea what you're talking about and have clearly never used foreign script in your life.

Neither are you, so by that logic you don't belong in this discussion to begin with... Developers don't make software for other developers, developers make software for users. If you don't know who your target userbase is and how they use your product then you already failed as a developer.
>The amount of soy on HN is unreal.

>failed as a developer
Users are almost always wrong. Most people are stupid, catering your software for them makes your software stupid. A successful developer doesn't makes him a good developer, pajeet can write shit code all day and be highly successful. The software is still shit.
Developer don't write software for users, they do it for money or fun. This is a very geocentric argument. Pretty much every software pushed by money goes to shit. Case in point: webshit.
Knowing the user base, most of them don't deserve software. Most users are too lazy to learn or look up information. It is the toleration of this that produces degenerating users who are spoiled to the point of saying "software exists for us".

Most things can be done that way, but the fact is that GUIs have been a common thing since the early 80s, and the fact that these systems still do that this badly is not a sign of good design. I was using GUI programs on 90s hardware, so there's no good reason for GUIs to be considerably more bloated than TUIs. Also, UI design itself hasn't progressed at all, it has even moved backwards. And of course, it's also worth mentioning that the way that TUI programs work, that some people prefer, isn't inherently exclusive to TUIs. You can just look at Emacs, it works the same way while also having graphics, and it also has multiple command lines, that are great for programs that you have no binding for, when your hand isn't on the mouse. Though admittedly, maybe the way that the menus are structured could be improved.

>>9483
>What is a computer?

>>9502
>Developers don't make software for other developers, developers make software for users
Generally. But a lot of free software developers aren't like that, and that's a reason why so much of it sucks. No interest in actual design. And more tragically, pretty much all the developers that actually care about efficiency have no interest in actual design, so you get programs with no UI at all, that are more primitive than old DOS programs. Programs full of antidesign.

>>9502
>Who's that?
CEO of OpenAI. Used to be the president of YCombinator (HN) and Reddit of all places. Notorious for doing the exact opposite of OpenAIs name and shutting down everything open about the company and its products.

TUIfag that outed himself as a phoneposter(that uses the default keyboard, no less) shouldn't get this much replies. He will get filtered from linux and be a raging linux hater in a week anyways, what he thinks now is worthless.

compression software are the worst in different ways in linux and windows, they capsulate the worst of those OS'es in a way. In linux no 2 compression software uses the same arguments, you have to man it everytime you use or write aliases, it absolutely sucks. In windows the UI is dogshit slow, there are too many unnecesary popups and installing them never feels secure because the zip websites are always designed bad. There are probably better software and frontends that make them more pleasant but i don't want to waste hours testing those.

>>9516
>t. filtered from linux
I have no problem phoneposting on my Linux phone and work on my TUI computer. Just because I like TUI doesn't mean I can't use GUIs. I have been using Linux for years and I love it. I only grow to hate GUI and GUIniggers more and more because every piece of GUI software I can't avoid using has gotten worse every single time. I had to use a windows 11 machine last week and I can't understand how anyone can tolerate such a retarded ui.

The problem isn't with GUIs inherently, it's with the degeneration of software in general. And really, it goes beyond that, it's everything, all culture on this planet. Also, there is the problem that in some ways, Unix systems shove updates down people's throats even more than Windows does. It's the ultimate updooter OS family. You can't just not update individual programs, that's mostly not a thing, because dependencies being updated will break them (while also making everything worse in some cases, like with each version of GTK being worse than the previous version), and there's no backwards compatibility. So, you don't even get the option of using older and more efficient GUI programs in a lot of cases, unless you don't update at all. 

You can get around that by just giving up and using 70s software, but that doesn't solve the problem. Hell, it makes it worse by lowering standards even more. You don't really see actual good GUI programs being made today (other than older programs that probably got slightly worse but are still fine), for the most part. Everything is either 70s software made by people that don't even try to design a UI (while still using multiple times more RAM than the entirety of Windows 95) or a slow piece of shit written in Python. Computing is basically dead. 

Maybe you can get some DOS-style software like Midnight Commander. Even that's a lot more advanced than most Unix software (made by people that have a considerably higher than 0% chance of using ed just to take their YouTube-inspired "minimalist" LARP to the limit, while still using more system resources than old GUI programs), just by having an actual user interface at all (while still having commands, which is nice). It's so bad that if you can get away with it, you might as well just run DOS programs using dosemu2. Maybe run an offline Windows XP VM and share windows from that.

There's also Emacs. Probably the best program in existence, despite being slow, unstable, broken, janky, and generally a huge pile of almost 40 years' worth of bad design decisions and compromises.

>>5536
While I mostly agree about GUIs being nigger technology for the most part outside of pre-1991 aerospace UIs using vector CRTs for men who have to know their shit, don't need computer to be ((( easy ))) to understand and can read analog instruments because not everything needs to be a 6 million taxpayer child sacrifice touchscreen, try telling the Nipponese in the 1980s or any other culture/ethnicity using non-western giga autismal logographic scripts about the universality of text interfaces.

They managed ok with just graphical (pixel-addressable) screens. They would probably not have enjoyed the Osborne 1 that was my first computer experience, as it only had 7-bit ASCII and a plain text terminal (as in if you write to video memory, you get a text character somewhere on the screen). Well at least the Osborne had a screen, even if it was only 5-inch in size. A lot of earlier CP/M computers had to make do with hardcopy teletype terminals.
Ultimately a GUI is only needed if you're going to do GUI type stuff, like CAD, deskotp publishing, 2D art, 3D modeling, or something. But even there, you don't necessarily need the retardation that is a modern OS (and the supercomputer it depends on to run that bloated pile of shit). Amiga, Atari ST, Classic Mac, and various others did all those tasks decades ago.

>>9520
>While I mostly agree about GUIs being nigger technology for the most part
GUIs are an exploratory interface, they're good for when you don't really know what you want, all the options are there in front of you just click around and experiment. That's basically 99% of home computer users which was why Windows became such a success.

CLIs include extra cognitive load to remember what are the commands and arguments and what are the syntax patterns (is it ip addr add dev or ip dev add addr or ip link set or...). The advantage of CLIs is that they are much faster when you do know what you're doing and it is much easier to automate. Find all pngs bigger than 1mb and convert them to jpg, 5 minutes on the command line, 5 hours with a GUI.

>>9523
Another advantage of CLI is you can boot straight to a tty login screen, instead of loading Xorg and all the stuff it requires. I don't even load GPU driver on my ARM board. Memory usage is minimal, especially since I also got rid of systemd, and rolled my own /etc/inittab script with busybox and cut down the deamons to the minimum needed. Also the system is safer too, because there are no open ports at all, just filesystem sockets for a few daemons. But I also took the time to deny all incoming traffic via iptables (unless it's part of an established connection that I started, of course).
Not all CLI tools are good though. I can't stand NetworkManager, it's just too cumbersome for me. I removed that and use just ifupdown.

I'm thinking about stuff like Windows Vista getting ASLR and Linux still struggling with it. Or Visual Studio providing a simple and easy to use set of scripts to use to cross compile stuff to, say, Windows on ARM from Win64, which GNU still can't do. Or glibc still suffering from the Year 2038 bug while Windows 2000 fixed it.

Dumb Linux users acquire a superiority complex born out of contrarianism and ignorance, Linux devs do the same as they sit on their asses uttering "hahaha I'm free I'm superior" and staring glassy-eyed at the ceiling while every other OS is decades ahead of it and increasing the gap.

>>9579
I'm not going to defend Linux, because it has become shittier over the years. But to me, features like ASLR and cross-compile doesn't really add anything useful. I'm much more interested in keeping the codebase small, very very small like TempleOS or old 1980's computers. That way it's manageable by one person, rather than needing a cabal of CIA niggers to maintain the gorillion lines of code that can only run on backdoored botnet hardware. To me KISS is the most important element, and basically all the modern OS have failed bigly.

I have a continually updated ancient install of linux.
Everything works. Everything has continued to work.
Everything has either increased in performance, or stayed the same.
I can move the drive containing this install to a 15 year old computer and it will still work, even if it's slower.
It works without an internet connection.
It's UI never significantly changes.
Using Wine and DOSbox it can run nearly every piece of software I care about. Using virtualbox I can run the two programs in a virtual machine that I can't run regularly.
I get to decide when to update software. If the project maintainers don't do what I want, I can compile the software myself.
Everything just werkz, every configuration file is plain text.

A typical software company doesn't rewrite code to make it more optimized. It implements bloat, ads, drm, proprietary standards, planned obsolescence, and stockpiles technical debt for future generations. Writing difficult to understand code is necessary to stay employed. There's not many good programmers. They are either unfunded or funded but without control over the project. There's no way to produce good software in this culture.

They don't even have proper search functions. They're also not substitutes for proper forums.

Yet there are so many fucktards who keep using these services. Even worse are the cunts who somehow keep justifying how these services are totally suitable with mind-bending justifications that could only have been made post-hoc. I especially want to slit the throats of those who then have the gall to complain about
>muh privacy

If you can read without an account then so can bots. They don't want all their content stolen because that's their whole business.

The platforms are designed to be addictive, especially when consumed in mobile app format.

>tbh I have found chat gpt to be quite useful the last few weeks tinkering around with networking shit.
These chatbots are good for searching and summarizing information that already exists but if you ask it about something obscure or impossible it will just make shit up instead of telling you it's not sure. Usually that becomes obviously straight away when you copy and paste a commandline flag which doesn't exist but still you have to be careful.

>>14375
>If you can read without an account then so can bots. They don't want all their content stolen because that's their whole business.
Yeah, that's a load of shit. Discord is filled with bots. There's not a lot in the way of stopping you from scraping content from Discord. Facebook and Instagram on the other hand are hyper fucking aggressive if you even just scroll too fast sometimes.

>>14406
>Discord is filled with bots.
Discord is not a walled garden. You can signup with tor and the only restriction is that you can't post images. They're obviously worried about cleaning up illegal content more than anything else.

>Facebook and Instagram on the other hand
They are very hard to get into anonymously.

Faking phone number verification is easy. That alone won't get you into instagram I tried.

This entire post is correct.

How about technological cancer right now? I'm doing IT for a close business owner who has all of their business files on a shared iMac, and I cannot fucking copy over files the way I want. I have Time Machine running as a full disk backup, but I absolutely don't trust it to copy over everything, and with proper integrity. I copied over some of the more important files from within OSX, but even with root it bitches about permissions and refuses to copy over certain files for whatever reason. I pulled out its drive to copy files over with my own desktop, but lo and fucking behold, Linux doesn't have native APFS support, and I'm still trying to get it working. I'm not going to reset its OS until I'm absolutely sure everything is copied over, automated and manually.

Rooting a motorola phone was probably the most cancerous process imaginable, you have to get a code from the bootloader and then you have to ask motorola for permission to give you an unlock code to unlock the oem by providing ridiculous information like imsi which could easily mean you get put on their list for being a "hacker" or whatever. But guess what my hand me down device "wasn't eligible" to recieve said unlock code because of some carrier bullshit.  Total fucking ass cancer. It was a 100 dollar phone but fuck those niggers at motorola so much.

I just can't believe some faggots went through all those man hours to make an entire system to lock people out of their own devices that they bought and how nobody has reliably figured out a way to break the ass cancer on these devices. They've made a whole permissioned system dedicated to humiliating people instead of letting them do whatever they want with their devices. This right here should tell you how important they see cell phones in their dystopian mass surveillance grid.

I think the worst cancer I've dealt with recently is tablets and HDMI output... for some reason all of them use USB-C 2.0 instead of 3.1 or 3.2 in them, which means no HDMI output, this would be fine on budget tablets from years ago, but we're talking about midrangers coming out right now, like the popular Galaxy Tab S10 FE from Samsung. Why is that? I thought tablets would really replace laptops, but a feature even the most basic laptop from a decade ago has is still a premium feature in the tablet scene, which is genuinely ridiculous, even the base iPad has mediocre HDMI capabilities, with black bars on external displays and all.

>>16251
I did the same for a Motorola phone I got for around 90 bucks. I was worried for a moment when I read in the instructions that the you may not get the code, but I guess I was lucky in regard of my carrier.

It should be said that Motorola isn't the only one doing it this way. I had to do the same for a Sony phone.

Similarly cancerous is unlocking the SIM for different networks. At my carrier you need to pay 50 bucks, regardless if the phone is 2 or 10 years old. But there're online services which offer you those 16 char codes for just like 30 bucks. Imagine you get 16 seemingly random digits and letters for just 30 bucks, that allow you to unlock your phone from the SIM network.

My mom has an iPad which I sometimes use (usually to help her with something) and I still haven't been able to figure out how to properly use the damn thing.
There are no buttons for navigation, not even on the touch screen itself. Instead, everything is done through swipe gestures which don't even work one half of the time and the other times it somehow gets interpreted as a different gesture.

I find that good UI is intuitive even without reading any sort of manual, by allowing me to explore what various elements do in a consistent manner. How do people put up with a UI that provides no such thing is beyond me (though I do understand now why my mom has a tendency to press way too hard on the screen. It is tempting to do so in frustration).
The only thing that's indicated clearly is "swipe up to open", but as said earlier somehow I manage to fuck that up half the time.

I went to a shoe store today. The typical flow for me when going to a store in modern day when making a purchase is the following:
<"What's your phone number?"
My stock response is
>"I don't have one."
I love saying this, because I often get to see their system crash in real time.
Two possibilities:
1: the store clerk is awesome like Radar from M*A*S*H.
<"No problem."
>I see lots of button mashing going on, I give them cash, purchase made.
2: I have to hold the clerk's hand about how to break the system a bit.
<*Clerk is visibly sweating about how to handle this complete anomaly.*
>"Can you just make something up?"
<*Clerk has lightbulb moment* "Oh, o.k., yeah."
<Punches in random numbers.
<Uh-oh, next prompt, "Uh, where do you live?"
>"Can you just put in the store's address?"
<"Oh, sure."
>Pay cash.
<*Looks at dollar bills like a wounded gazelle, but knows how to handle this part of the transaction.*
>"Thanks!"
>Leave.
Sometimes, very rarely, I'll get:
<"I'm sorry, I need a real number, sir."
That's what I got at the shoe store today. So, it was very simply,
>"Oh, well, sorry, could you put these back then?"
<*Doesn't reply, just gives me a completely baffled face.*
>"Uh, sorry, bye."
<Dead face.
>Leave.
Like...it's a fucking brick and mortar shoe store. I don't understand what they're thinking. They aren't the IRS. You aren't a monopoly. What???

It's either that or they want you to pay with fucking debit/credit cards so they and the bank can track your name and everything. Who needs a customer registration system if you can just get all their bank info every time they pay? It's cancer analytics. You can usually get around all the fucking cashless registers by buying yourself a giftcard though, but I recommend not putting multiple gift cards on one transaction if you want to avoid someone being able to connect your purchasing habits across gift cards. Some stores are extra cancer, make you use their credit/debit-only self-serve registers which won't accept their own store's gift cards. This is rare (90%+ of these stores do accept gift cards on the credit/debit-only registers), but I have experienced it before.

I mean, it'd be nice too if Nintendo sold their entire backlibrary without '90s Disney Vault dripfeed rerelease schedules, at the same price GoG does, without erasing your purchases every generation, without censorship, and allowed you to play them on PC. But they don't.

Since piracy is sadly necessary, it's important that as many pirates as possible help contribute to a SUFFICIENTLY RESILIENT infrastructure, especially since it isn't THAT much less convenient to use. Maybe gatekeeping isn't the best way to put it, so much as societal hardening.
