 There are some pieces of software where you think "oh cool, what did they
 update?" and then there are some like "oh god... What did they update?"

 every time I update my system, it breaks.
 
 kinda makes me think they do that on purpose so that you spend all your time
 up to date and that way they can quickly patch in and out security flaws fast
 enough that nobody notices.

 I don't update my kernel more than like, once every few months, so maybe that

 nope
 
 I figure if I have to rebuild them, oh well.
 
 plus this way I can give each of my computers a slightly different personality.

 I don't understand why modern software isn't error correcting. We shouldn't
 have any bugs in this day and age.
 
 For example, if you're missing a dependency then why doesn't your program try
 to, I dunno, download that dependency to the program's installation directory
 and use it there? Seriously there are very few problems that are unsolvable!

 what if all the AI advancements they're doing are just them building more
 hardware infrastructure in datacenters and not actually improving the software
 that much

wouldn't that be neat I think it would because it means once they collapse under the weight of their own ambitions that hardware's gotta go somewhere and knowing them they're probably going to ship it to south-east asia to be "recycled" (read: burnt with the metals salvaged) instead of selling them second hand because you know they can't really justify the business expense of selling stuff like that and besides what if some driver or something on the firmware was proprietary do you really want to pay techs to wipe every single thing off of them and plus who's gonna categorize and sort them according to their form and function that's just extra payroll and listen the company's not doing so hot anyway I mean we're literally shutting down but yeah sure we'll find a way to justify spending all that non-existent dosh so some hippies can feel better with their servers they didn't build or justify with their profit-producing capitalist enterprise that we've built with our own two hands well really the hands of everyone else but like, they're not actually doing the building the REAL work of course happens in board rooms like this one where we spend MINUTES and HOURS sometimes discussing how to get things in order and aligned to both of our goals because that's the REAL work that has to happen in order for stuff to get done, you know it's true yeah I thought so anyway what are you doing after this meeting wanna get lunch it's almost quitting time at 2pm

 ah nuts, they replaced my LLM setup with one that outputs gibberish. I swear
 it was working just a moment ago, and I didn't change it's configuration at
 all, and it's local only... right? so uh that's weird, surely it's not because
 they altered some value somewhere that I have no access to
 
 eh, maybe the newest technologies are overrated. At least, the software ones.

 "this program that used to work doesn't anymore because, uh, your video
 drivers are out of date."
 
 ... okay but if I didn't update this program either, then why would it matter
 if my video drivers are out of date? wouldn't they be working off of the same
 [rulings/requirements]?
 
 the "best practice" of updating your software all at once instead of
 one-by-one is a disaster for our humankinds consequences or whatever

 sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
 that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
 could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
 drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
 
 something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
 image that could be edited.
