<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> have you looked at the nightmare in Linux&#39;s reboot.c? <a href="https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.12.6/source/arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c#L610" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.12</span><span class="invisible">.6/source/arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c#L610</span></a><br />(and note that this doesn&#39;t include the giant table of system specific quirks!)</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kevinbowen" class="u-url mention">@<span>kevinbowen</span></a></span> sounds like myself, too :-) Glad to find a like-minded person!</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@isagalaev" class="u-url mention">@<span>isagalaev</span></a></span> </p><p>The last decade or so, I&#39;ve come to embrace JOMO: the joy of missing out. </p><p>I&#39;ve never, personally, really been a part of any mainstream/mono culture. The large social media/news sites tried to perpetuate the idea that they were all-inclusive/pervasive. They&#39;re dying now.</p><p>So, even as I slide into old age, I&#39;ve come to embrace my little sub-culture of one with a few dozen folks occasionally drifting in and out of my circle of interest. YMMV.</p>

A company is actively making the phones worth worse with two days notice. On a device that we supposedly own?! They are breaking them from afar in many cases. Again two days notice and no details. It&#39;s so slimy.</p>

<p>Alright, I may be fairly slow realizing it, but the headline starting with &quot;Why everyone&#39;s obsessed with …&quot; is just an ad for the thing. It&#39;s okay that you haven&#39;t heard about it before, they&#39;re just trying to FOMO you.</p>

<p>I right clicked on &quot;self&quot; and clicked &quot;show definition&quot; and Sublime freaked out, it presented me with a list of like 60 options for different things that might have been the definition of self and it couldn&#39;t tell which is the real one, and I was like is this a metaphor</p>

<p>&quot;Legacy code&quot; is often code that you want to replace because you don&#39;t understand it. The problem is, before you can replace it, you need to understand it, and, once you understand it, replacing it is rarely the cheapest option any more.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SoftwareEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SoftwareEngineering</span></a></p>
