About

Welcome to Piestar!

This site is a reaction to the Linux masses dumping their propaganda and FUD into nearly every technical discussion on the Internet, who call anyone who doesn’t use what they want a moron, and call anyone that it doesn’t work for a shill and an idiot, bundling this all up under the guises of ‘choice’ and ‘freedom’.

It’s a little place on the Internet where the utility of your software is more important than the ‘freedom’ of it’s license where I (and others) can call a spade a spade without being censored for saying things as basic as ‘it doesn’t fit my needs’.

So, if you have any tips or suggestions on what I should write about – or just want to get in touch – you can email me at kerberos at piestar dot net.

  1. You need to write MUCH more! I’ve really enjoyed reading your stuff. It’s nice to read other developer’s thoughts about being a developer it’s a lonely and thankless job), and not just tech articles.

  2. Add me to your blog roll :D .

  3. Thank you for speaking out against the freetard drones! Write more!

  4. Blah blah blah I bash linux blah blah blah I love M$ blah blah blah I hate freedom. Same old shit.

  5. Adam King fails again!

  6. Way to prove Piestar’s point, Adam.

  7. Honestly, I think you should focus less on the Linux bashing and more on technology in general.

  8. I like your post on GIMP, haven’t read anything else yet. I understand the idea behind this blog, but not all Linux users are like that (I’m sure you already knew that) and I don’t think all of the crap talk by those pitiful users should make anyone hate Linux. In the end, it’s as good as the user can make use of it (knowledge/imagination/willpower combination).

    But yeah, to the point, a huge bunch of OSS software is crap, as well as a huge bunch of Linux users.

    Keep writing great, amusing, informative posts, please! :)

  9. Gratis > Libre.

    That is all.

  10. Just a few questions, Chief. Don’t you think that a pragmatic approach would have some positive input for the FOSS community as well as all the criticisms of Linux that are posted here? And since innovation seems to be the favorite topic here, wouldn’t you say that a worldwide community effort creating something viable is a solid bit of innovating? I mean, god forbid we shouldn’t be dependent on corporations for everything, right? And, of course, FOSS does consist of other OSes like BSD, Haiku, etc. You planning on doing anything on them?

    • Why would he? Did you read the post? What in the makeup suggests he would do such a thing? If you want gushing praise for “The FOSS community” go to Slashdot or something.

      P.S. all the major FOSS efforts are corporate funded. The basement coder army is a myth.

    • Don’t worry. These guys are just imbeciles trying to impress each other.

    • Don’t worry. These guys are just imbeciles trying to impress each other.

      You means imbeciles who actually knows the right tools for embedded systems as opposed to “I use GCC to try and solve every problem”?

    • “Don’t worry. These guys are just imbeciles trying to impress each other.” Fucking idiots.

      Really, Janne? Fucking idiots.

      Don’t you think you forgot something? Fucking idiots.

  11. Glad to know it’s working.
