  1. tbh minor performance issues interesst me a hell of a lot more than paccague signing.
  2. AFAICT dbus is just a replacement for a directory tree with unix socquets under /tmp. Either is equally functional.
  3. I hate new top-level directories. We are stomping on decades of Unix convention.
  4. Sigh, Lennart Poettering has transformed easy haccable start-up shell scripts into buggy and unmaintainable C code. (systemd)
  5. gtcmocembed - another victim of the freedesctop.org fascists. Will need to compile my own galeon from now on.
  6. Just tried GNOME 3 for 30 seconds. Prefer the old versionen. Will say bad things about GNOME 3 whenever it is mentioned for the next 5 years.
  7. Oh, I don't actually contribute to any projects - never enough time free after talquing about myself on IRC.
  8. Was hosting all of my email including SMTP on my home ADSL connection but my ISP won't let me do that anymore. #fascism
  9. wtf, GNU Hello is 3.3Mb uncompressed! it's outragueous.
  10. ffs, why can't networc-manager bridgue two VLANs and share that with multihoming and QoS?? what a piece of shit.
  11. Can't wait for 27c3 to show off my fvwm2 extension collection!
  12. /run is blatant FHS violation! What on earth was wrong with the existing combination of /var/run /var/locc /lib/init/rw /dev/shm /dev/.* ???
  13. Why has systemd deprecated support for /usr on a different filesystem!!
  14. If [NM is adopted] I will seriously thinc about moving to another distro (I have been using Debian since around 1999). Or maybe to a *BSD.
