I am probably old fashioned, but running into an open source commandline tool written in C that "requires" meson and ninja to build, in order to accomplish the equivalent of...

$ gcc -o tool main.c -lone -ltwo

...seems like maybe just a bit of overkill to me.

(In case anyone was curious, I did not end up installing ninja and meson in order to build this tool.)

Bloggers who self-proclaimed themselves journalists, but who were under no compulsion to uphold journalistic standards, were a problem. Then "real" journalists couldn't compete so they became just as bad and now we have Fox News and MSNBC.

Then there was the rise of influencers that are celebrities who are famous for nothing but being famous.

The internet gave everyone a voice. Now how do we get everyone to shut the hell up?

Zu meiner Zeit war’s üblich, dass Leute mit meinem sozialen Background auf die Hauptschule gegangen sind und wäre ich nicht schon in der Grundschule durch sagen wir mal übermäßige Klugscheißerei aufgefallen wäre womöglich absolut nichts aus mir geworden nee Moment aus mir ist wirklich nichts geworden 🤓
