  • For one - the error handling. Every codebase is filled with messy, hard to type:

    if err != nil {
        ...
    }
    

    And it doesn’t even give you a stack trace to debug the problem when an error happens, apparently.

    Second reason - it lacks many features that are generally available in most other languages. Generics is the big one, but thankfully they added them in last half a year or so. In general Golang’s design principle is to implement only the required minimum.

    And probably most important - Go is owned by Google, aka the “all seeing eye of Sauron”. There was recently a big controversy with them proposing adding an on-by-default telemetry to the compiler. And with the recent trend of enshittification, I wouldn’t trust google or any other mega-corporation.

    I have all apps I use daily in the appimage format. Yesterday I decided to try btrfs for my root partition and did my annual Linux reinstall. All my apps were already there and ready for work from the start.
    I also have a usb flashdrive always on me with the same appimages. Just in case I’d wipe a hard drive by accident and wouldn’t have an internet connection or something like that (in case of emergencies). You can’t do this with flatpaks or snaps.





  • How much their ad-free tier costs? Can I pay without them tracking me? No? Then fuck you (website owners), I will be freeloading and will advertise freeloading.

    Btw, use uBlock origin on Firefox, I haven’t seen one of these annoying screens in a while.

    Edit: uh oh

  • Weird. I had headaches practically every week back when I drinked coffee semi-regularly (1-2 times a week).

    Around a year ago, I’ve stopped drinking coffee completely and switched to strong tea. Never felt so clear-minded and headaches are far less frequent then before, and if I have one - it’s like 10% of it’s usual strength.

    I have pretty minimalistic setup.

    Three dropdown terminals, managed by a bash script: top for quick commands, left and right for nvim.

    Bar is i3bar, with a custom status program written in Nim language (can display any command output with conditional colors).

    There’re multiple things OpenSUSE does differently, when compared to most other distros:

    • they enable firewall by default.
    • they have automatic testing pipeline, that catches most broken, not-working applications before they’re made available to public.
    • if update breaks your setup - you can rollback to previous snapshot in minutes.
    • supports both apparmor and selinux.
