It's both harrowing and comforting to read about how it's EVERYWHERE falling into a religious mania over LLMs, not just certain past employers.

T-minus 6.5 hours until I wipe the drive on my work laptop and turn it into a Haiku laptop. Is this the year of the Haiku laptop?

I'm sorry, this is an extreme noob question, but I have been trying my hand at proper gui programming and have a ton of questions.

To make gnome and related windows, you use gtk. To make kde and related windows, you use qt. gtk has become so obtuse in C that gnome devs made their own higher language called Vala that compiles down to C source. Qt has become so convoluted that even the guides on how to use KDE creator don't always work. Lots and lots of programs now exist that do not follow your window manager's decorations at all.

How did we get here? How did we do it back in the day?

I look at old screenshots of late 90s to early 2000s era linux, and I see a lot of windows that follow the menu conventions of the host window manager. I've found some tutorials from the 90s for X11 programming that makes a window, but doesn't include how to add window decoration elements to it.

I, a fool, thought that there was some standard for GUI applications that gets read by your desktop environment of choice to put the menus and things in their right place, which I guess is sort of true with gtk and qt, but I thought it was some centrally defined part of x11 or wayland instead of a couple of frameworks that we all collectively decided are good but different from each other.

Right. It's like how markov chains are extremely cool, and I like it when people do weird art by making a markov chain with silly word lists and the like, but if a company made a markov chain by spitting on the grave of aaron schwartz and starting selling it to fascists while telling me I had to use them for everything then I would say "well now I'm going to not use these things."

One thing I'm still trying to wrap my head around is how Maine simultaneously has a lot of environmental protections in place while also almost every home I've seen uses a giant can of #2 heating oil to heat their house, and a nonzero number of people who have strong opinions about heating their house with a wood burning stove.

Granted, I am not free of sin. My house has a giant tank of dinosaur juice in the basement because the plan to replace it with a heat pump is long and expensive. I will get there eventually though!

Imagine being one of the antarctic researchers working when Mark Shuttleworth was in Antarctica, trying to hire Ubuntu devs.

"Jim, we're seeing data from McMurdo describing a group of penguins near our sensors. Can you go check the site to make sure the solar panels are still in good shape?"

"..."

"Jim?"

"Oh, sorry. This guy named Mark kept me up all night, said he needed to assemble a team."

"A team to do what?"

"He says he wants to make a pretty good Debian fork with a history of innovation but some less than stellar business decisions."
