I really dislike dumb and entitled takes like this. First he somehow complains about both GNOME and KDE when literally none of the complaint apply to KDE, second switching between different operating systems will break the way you are doing things anyway, and third - who cares.

You can explain timers the same way.
And then with your explanation it goes: cron job doesn’t execute for reason,
crontab -llists not all jobs, someone else put cron job in whatever directory like cron.daily, you’ve added or removed empty line at the end and now nothing works, debian crond and redhat cronie ahave different quirks, etc., etc.I’ve dealt with insane cron problems for so long that switching to timers was like *whoa i don’t need to suffer?*

Linux@programming.dev•My Accessibility Stack and the future on WaylandEnglish
4·2 days agoFirst, it is usable just not the way Talon requires (and its developer doesn’t want to support wayland). Second people can use LTS distributions that will ship X11 for many years, and by that time it will either be good enough or won’t.

1·2 days agoThere is wdotool, it’s not complete re-implementation yet, but it works.
Which all of them, which cron implementation is simpler and better? Do you even use cron? It’s not a joke, explanation on how to use cron takes > 8 pages. It should be in the hall of fame of the least accessible and hard to learn programs. Lennart cancer is one of the greatest things that happened to linux.

8·3 days agoIt’s not so bad like the article author describes, there is work being done to address the input issue e.g.
libeiand wayland protocols. (also N.Graham answer that says that it should be done on wayland level if they require universal solution is right if a bit unkind)
Why did it make you angry? Do you believe that there are other implementations that do the task better and simpler?

37·13 days agoIf you think that requiring interviews over voice chat with multiple random people that ask dumb questions like where do you live and what you do for living and laugh at your accent, sorry that’s not goofy that’s bordering on abuse and not accountability. In addition to not having anything to do with filesharing. Private trackers are making filesharing worse, there is nothing that makes them more trustworthy.

418·14 days agoThese are standard rules for private trackers, they are essentially little kingdoms that compete who has the most insanely idiotic requirements. Any sane person should avoid them at any cost, they are antithetical to what sharing actually should be.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Should I pretend to care about the lives in Gaza and Palestine?English
102·24 days agoThere is a big difference between “i don’t care” and “fuck them”. I mean I don’t really have mental energy and passion to really care for their conflict (for many reasons) but my opinion is close to: it’s horrible and isr*el is fucked up hellhole, not “fuck the palestinians”. You shouldn’t act like you care unless you care but you can at least filter it a bit or don’t participate in conversations that involve that conflict.
I’ve always had either problems with schedules or problems with environment because it has it’s own. Cron is fine as long as you are lucky. That isn’t to say there never were problems with timers, on debian 9, I think, shipped version of systemd had a bug where systemd-analyze parsed schedule correctly and timer just shit itself. But only for some specific case I can’t remeber which, but it was extremely frustrating to debug.
