[seharinsights@mastodon.social]

@ronnylam @koen @bagder whats that for

[seharinsights@mastodon.social]

@koen @bagder like what

[ronnylam@mastodon.social]

@seharinsights @koen @bagder That open source software has a very strong and stable foundation. (If you choose to use it this way)

[benjaoming@social.data.coop]

@seharinsights @bagder references this: https://xkcd.com/2347/

[openrisk@mastodon.social]

@ronnylam @seharinsights @koen @bagder

makes visually quite explicit the idea of digital pubic goods on which the rest of digital society can be built

[khleedril@cyberplace.social]

@bagder You misspelled systemd.

[js@mastodon.nl]

@bagder So when libcurl collapses nothing happens?

[vrek@mastodon.social]

@bagder I want to use curl but it difficult to type laying down and sitting up while trying to curl just seems like blasphemy

[tshirtman@mas.to]

@js @bagder it just can't, libcurl strong.

@bagder on the one hand, what an honor it must be to make something so many find so useful.

On the other, maintenance sounds like a right nightmare!

[js@mastodon.nl]

@tshirtman @bagder The Law of Kipple rules over everything.

[tshirtman@mas.to]

@js @bagder but i bet that most things that depend on libcurl will be replaced before libcurl is.

[jwcph@helvede.net]

@bagder You mean it works & is stable? In the software business that seems like cheating...
