  • Because the mathematics literature fucking sucks.

    It is written by math nerds for math nerds. Show me all the fucking proof, you just spent 10 pages talking about anything and everything but you can’t expand on how your formula has been transformed because of whatever theorem.

    How many god damn time have I read something akin to “the proof is left to the reader. The resulting formula is [something entirely new].”

    Like fuck you, show me how it’s done.







  • If you stick to popular free software, the jank is limited.

    The Linux userspaces have a lot of enthusiastic people that create their own software and share it, and thus it seems like there is lot of janky stuff (because there is).

    It feels like Windows has been captured by corporations and so the market is competitive. There isn’t much space for enthusiast developpers to tackle a different vision of a popular software.

    So yeah, I agree with you, lots of janky software in Linux, but that’s the beauty of it IMO. If you stick to popular softwares, the jank is somewhat equivalent to Windows.

    The documentation is usually dog shit.

    The corporate culture does not allow appropriate time for the documentation as it is considered something that cost money without a quantifiable gain.

    It permeates in the FOSS space as well since writing good documentation is a skill and it is not fostered in corporations. So devs start great projects with terrible documentation.




  • The cat is out of the bag and long gone.

    People got used to the simplicity of centralized services, and corpos made great efforts to make everything 1-click.

    So when the average users need to do more than 1-click, they won’t use the software.

    It would help if anti-trust laws were applied and these mega-corpos got broken in a thousand pieces. Centralized monolith services would have a harder time to thrive and give space to federation/decentralization.
