So I read a bit on <a href="/tags/slackware/" rel="tag">#Slackware</a> <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a>. but still curious. Is the Slackware does not handle dependency statement true? Or is it just not handled by default but if you use some third-party tools you get dependencies resolved apt/pacman style? Also related to this, I saw videos / tutorials on installing the systems, so it is generally recommended to simply install tons of packages you might not need in the first place just so when you need them or any other thing that might need something there as dependencies and you will have them already? Seems like trying to do a one-thing-fit-all style to me.<br><br><a href="/tags/foss/" rel="tag">#FOSS</a> <a href="/tags/unix/" rel="tag">#Unix</a> <a href="/tags/fediask/" rel="tag">#FediASK</a><br>

<p>> Unfortunately, after careful consideration, we've decided to move<br>forward with other candidates who more closely match our requirements for<br>this role</p><p>How I resent this idiotic piece of text, which is put into every damn rejection mail I receive since a year. More than 100 job applications sent out and no damn job afterwards. For fucks sake I was a senior <a href="/tags/developer/" rel="tag">#developer</a>, a master of <a href="/tags/ruby/" rel="tag">#ruby</a> who did the last two years at the job <a href="/tags/elixir/" rel="tag">#elixir</a> and guess what did all the other <a href="/tags/web/" rel="tag">#web</a> backend related bullshit. Like administering <a href="/tags/postgresql/" rel="tag">#postgresql</a> doing the schema, designing the whole architecture of a legacy backend system written in ruby, writing backends, frontends with <a href="/tags/javascript/" rel="tag">#javascript</a> and guess what nothing. </p><p>I maintained so called <a href="/tags/microservices/" rel="tag">#microservices</a> on <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#linux</a> with fucking <a href="/tags/docker/" rel="tag">#docker</a> which ran on <a href="/tags/openshift/" rel="tag">#openshift</a> or in the pedestrian terms "<a href="/tags/kubernetes/" rel="tag">#kubernetes</a>". Nothing! </p><p>I started into being a <a href="/tags/software/" rel="tag">#software</a> <a href="/tags/developer/" rel="tag">#developer</a> through the damn <a href="/tags/hacker/" rel="tag">#hacker</a> scene and was a "founding member" (whatever that means) of a <a href="/tags/hackerspace/" rel="tag">#hackerspace</a> out of which I was kicked out and still suffering the emotional scars. But yeah, fuck that I see. And probably I'm at fault 100% because that's what this shitty <a href="/tags/shame/" rel="tag">#shame</a> based society wants to tell everybody.</p><p>In my free-time I dabbled with <a href="/tags/lisp/" rel="tag">#lisp</a> <a href="/tags/smalltalk/" rel="tag">#smalltalk</a> and <a href="/tags/cpp/" rel="tag">#cpp</a> and <a href="/tags/clang/" rel="tag">#clang</a> and <a href="/tags/perl/" rel="tag">#perl</a> and I wrote <a href="/tags/python/" rel="tag">#python</a> a little for money too and for extending a little <a href="/tags/django/" rel="tag">#django</a> app at a hackerspace. Yeah, sure this is also worth nothing.</p><p>I tried to do <a href="/tags/freelancing/" rel="tag">#freelancing</a> for 6 months, but guess what the current project market in <a href="/tags/europe/" rel="tag">#europe</a> is shit and therefore nothing on the table for me either. While I find thousands of dimwits on reddits and everywhere, who are telling me that "I'm not an entrepreneur" or that "I deserve X", because they simply don't like what I write or my face.</p><p>Yeah sure, I'm 39 and I have no idea to go to, no damn <a href="/tags/community/" rel="tag">#community</a> and for fucks sake seem to be now going to join team long-term unemployed... because... yeah absolutely no damn fucking idea why I'm in this mess. What I'm supposed to do and obviously nobody fucking cares anyway.</p><p>I once dreamed of being "my own man", being that independent developer, coding happy <a href="/tags/foss/" rel="tag">#foss</a> projects and contributing to <a href="/tags/opensource/" rel="tag">#opensource</a> and getting paid for that. But no. World says no to that.
