But my wheel will be much better. I will start from the center with a very simple skeleton and build on top of it as needed. It will be very modular, elegant and easy to understand. It will be my masterpiece.

Wheels need manuals

"But is it a just a wheel if we add cloud and AI features to it? Think of all the leveraging of paradigm shifts!" . The trap explodes taking everyone out; even Steve in accounting who had nothing to do with this and wasn't even in the same building.

Reinventing the wheel leads to a profound understanding of why wheels are round.

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

That's what documentation is for.

[-] GhostTheToast@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

That involves knowing how to read

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 1 points 4 hours ago

Well, it would have been if people updated it when making changes; now it's just all an incorrect snapshot of an older version of wheel that no longer reflects reality.

[-] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 hours ago

Documentation is written exclusively for people with PhDs.

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 12 points 10 hours ago

but is it written in 6510 assembly, with cool graphics and catchy music with fast arpeggios?

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 33 points 12 hours ago

How is it licensed, Jigsaw? Eh? What distro is it from? Is that a fucking Snap wheel?

What I hadn't anticipated in my 20 years away from Linux was not only had teams of unpaid volunteers been beavering away behind the scenes to make everything work better, other much more enthusiastic teams have been thinking up new and exciting ways to break it again.

sudo systemctl stop sawtrapd

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

And don't forget
systemctl disable sawtrapd
so it won't restart again.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

sysyemctl disable --now sawtrapd to do both in one command.

[-] lengau@midwest.social 15 points 13 hours ago

This is a poorly designed horror trap. Here, let me help you!

[-] lorty@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 10 hours ago

Is the wheel FOSS? No? Guess I have to then.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 15 points 14 hours ago

"I WOULDN'T BE REINVENTING IT IF THEY DIDN'T FORCE ~~systemd~~ AXLES ON EVERY WHEEL!!!"

[-] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 30 points 16 hours ago

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as wheel, is in fact, GNU/Wheel, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus wheel.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 15 points 15 hours ago

The Wheel weaves as The Wheel wills.

[-] Bosht@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

Wtf did not expect a Wheel of Time reference lmao

[-] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 7 points 14 hours ago

Use the -w flag and the wheel will weave as you will.

The wheel has had a number of innovations over the years. The earliest wheels were flat disks of wood that were heavy and slow turning. The Romans invented spokes and metal rims which made them faster, more durable, and gave them more traction. Questions we need answered: What is this wheel in particular designed to do? Is there any way we could make it work more efficiently at its task? Do we value performance over reliability, or vice versa? Etc. Etc.

[-] tempest@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 hours ago

I think we need to take a bit of a step back and consider what kind of shed we might use to store this wheel...

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

To answer that, we'll need to do a deep dive into foundation technology (to determine if it is lacking and needs some improvements) (because we don't want our wheelshed to sink).

[-] hunnybubny@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 12 hours ago

Sounds like proprietary blobs.

[-] Wolf@lemmy.today 7 points 13 hours ago

What is this wheel in particular designed to do? Is there any way we could make it work more efficiently at its task? Do we value performance over reliability, or vice versa?

It works fine. It's a perfectly good wheel.

Hey where is Underwaterbob?

He's trapped in that Jigsaw room.

The door is unlocked though?

Yeah, but there is a wheel in there and UWB won't leave until he figures out if there is a way to improve it.

Has any one asked him to?

No

Will he get paid to improve it?

No

What does the wheel do?

You roll it out of the way so you can exit the room.

[-] Underwaterbob@sh.itjust.works 4 points 13 hours ago

Will he get paid to improve it?

No

Well, now I'm clearly going to have to find a way to monetize the wheel as well.

[-] Wolf@lemmy.today 2 points 12 hours ago

Put a lock on the wheel and charge people $0.99 to temporarily unlock it.

[-] Underwaterbob@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

Evil. I like it! Maybe some mandatory ad viewing somehow shoehorned into the unlocking process as well.
