i really fucking hate dependency management downloading packages from a centralized user submitted repository really grinds my fucking gears

this is like the one go flaw that makes me not use the language for absolutely everything

It's not centralized actually but they use caching servers iirc so it mostly is. Maybe there's a way to turn it off

@p interesante

@nyanide These are helpful: `go help environment`, `go env`, `echo FUCK YOU. Strongly worded letter to follow | sendmail rsc@golang.org`

@p @nyanide if only rsc was still involved. things will likely get full corporate bullshit now that he and the other old time go people aren't involved anymore.

@bonifartius @p no rsc is still involved he was the opne that proposed to remove powerpc support

@nyanide @p oh, i thought he was doing something else now

@nyanide @p ah, he stepped down as tech lead.

regarding powerpc, it's still listed on the build dashboard, just not as first class port https://build.golang.org/

@bonifartius @nyanide @p To be fair, removing ppc64 support isn't a good idea. Despite how niche it is, it's still used a lot in the enterprise world. I personally know people that need that support.
