Well +it looks complete but for some reason I couldn’t remember, I never made +it public. Published 2024-02-17 without further modification.</p> +<p>Original post starts below.</p> +<p>If you are still unaware, the title is just sarcasm. As far as I +know, the division I was working for does not work on any spyware.</p> +<p>Also, this article is <strong>not</strong> approved by the propaganda +division whatsoever. Everything is straight up garbage.</p> +<h2 id="tocanch1" class="tvis">The Decision</h2> +<p>As I have made up my mind to ‘strategically’ delay my graduation by a +year, I initially hoped for taking the following months off and I did +not plan for my graduation thesis at all. Therefore I intentionally +skipped the subject selection process. All I wanted to do is chill for +half an year and maybe make some contributions to several free software +projects. Teachers noticed this and managed to persuade me to finish the +graduation thesis this year. Only at this time did I realize how stupid +I was – I am going to contribute to projects anyway, why don’t I take +the chance to finish my thesis?</p> +<p>However, as I have missed the opportunity to work on projects led by +professors in my college, I had to look for intern jobs elsewhere. As I +am not going to work for unethical companies, many companies my +classmates are rushing into are not feasible for me. But actually I +already have my choice in my mind: cause I am really interested in +spying on how the ‘spyware corporation’ works on a daily basis.</p> +<p>Finally, the choice was made. I tossed in my CV, which was put +together in 5 minutes to them. Before long I got a quick reply. With +everything settled down rather quickly, off I went.</p> +<p>To sum it up, it was because:</p> +<ul> +<li>I was curious.</li> +<li>I had plenty of time to waste.</li> +<li>I wanted to get away from the campus I already spent 3 years +in.</li> +<li>with the additional benefit of finishing my graduation project.</li> +</ul> +<h2 id="tocanch2" class="tvis">The Workplace, the +Colleagues and the Life</h2> +<p>The workplace is nothing fancy. Dimly lighted, the work area is +fairly cozy, possibly designed specially for us cavern-dwelling +programmers. Computing devices are scattered throughout the enormous +room, in which 90% of the local employees work.</p> +<p>Co-workers here are competent to say at least (until they started +rushing V20, as noted below). To list a few:</p> +<ul> +<li><a href="https://www.blumia.net/about.html">BLumia</a>: no more +elaboration needed.</li> +<li><a href="https://blog.justforlxz.com/about/">Kirigaya</a>: a little +bit mean, a little bit naughty, but still nice guy to chat with.</li> +<li><a href="https://github.com/zccrs">zccrs</a>: damn this guy +definitely knows what he is doing when reviewing my shitty code. Rumors +has it that he was once a wizard working for Nokia.</li> +<li><a href="https://hualet.org/">Hualet</a>: that one who interviewed +me. Passionate about free software. We talk quite a lot in private.</li> +</ul> +<p>Life quality in Wuhan was not a huge degradation compared to that of +my university times, I’d put it that way. Commute times weren’t super +long, foods here are nice (at least it rids me of the same kind of foods +I had to have everyday on the campus), also I could for the first time +cook for myself.</p> +<p>Stereotype of the climate in southern China was broken: your clothes +<strong>will</strong> be able to dry within a day, and you couldn’t +really squeeze water out of the air.</p> +<p>Public transit in Wuhan was tolerable until you got out of reach of +the metro: the bus service was <strong>horrendous</strong>. There was no +indication of where the actual station was, and the bus stops randomly +‘roughly around’. I tried it once and dreaded having to take a bus ever +since (fortunately, I didn’t).</p> +<p>I lived in a rental room provided by Ziroom, which is essentially an +apartment rental service broker. The apartment was shared by 5 persons, +from which formed 2 couples, and … you guessed it, me. The room was +relatively small (around 14m<sup>2</sup> in area), but super snug +compared to my dorm in university. The real reason I find it that way, +however, could ultimately be the fact that I was the only one inside and +could do what ever I want.</p> +<p>Interactions with roommates were minimal. In fact, I intentionally +avoid interactions with my roommates because I was that type of a +person.</p> +<p>By the way, cooking is really deep a rabbit hole and I’m just getting +down into it.</p> +<p>All in all, it was a freshing experience for ‘an extremely spoiled +child’ (as all my family members told me). I had fun, and I came back +with every body part intact. I’m content with it.</p> +<h3 id="tocanch3" class="tvis">My work</h3> +<p>I mainly worked on the following things:</p> +<ul> +<li>Adding basic optical disc authoring functionality to the file +manager.</li> +<li>Move network configuration in the control center to the new code +base.</li> +<li>Giving the computer view in the file manager its new look.</li> +<li>Random bug fixes in the file manager.</li> +<li>A small portion of utility classes in DTK.</li> +</ul> +<p>There’s a lot of other miscellaneous stuff I did, some of which +involves seizure-inducing programming languages +<a id="n1" href="#note1" class="note">[1]</a>. I’m not going to list those things here.</p> +<p>Actually, I promised to help revamping the infrastructure when I +entered Deepin, mainly to improve its transparency (like Debian). +However…</p> +<ul> +<li>They didn’t care.</li> +<li>I wasn’t given time to do anything about it.</li> +<li>I barely learned enough about how the current infrastructure +works.</li> +</ul> +<p>And the promise was thrown straight out of the window.</p> +<h3 id="tocanch4" class="tvis">Payment</h3> +<p>Now looking back, I guess I was basically free labor <a id="n2" href="#note2" class="note">[2]</a> , donating my time to Deepin. I +literately don’t care though, because I didn’t came for the money. It +could be cringe-inducing to say, but their payment actually exceeded my +initial expectation.</p> +<p>By the way I actually even saved up a couple thousand during my time +there. (Setting aside the fee ETS charged me for TOEFL and GRE of +course. Those are nothing but f*cking cash grabs.) Guess it’s due to my +extremely thrifty (stingy even) nature <a id="n3" href="#note3" class="note">[3]</a>.</p> +<h3 id="tocanch5" class="tvis">Final Days & The days after</h3> +<p>I made my final commit on November 15th, and ended my internship on +the same day.</p> +<p>I stayed in Wuhan for another 30 days intermittently, finishing my +final TOEFL test, visiting places, meeting with people, and most +frequently of all, chilling in my ‘secret bear den’ (which refers to my +rental room, obviously). Quite shockingly, I somehow managed to keep +basically the same sleep schedule as the one before my internship +ended.</p> +<p>I returned home on January 3rd, and I was as lucky as one can ever +be, cause all the coronavirus shenanigans just started to cook up.</p> +<h2 id="tocanch6" class="tvis">Shitty Code</h2> +<p>Never have I felt so involved with a programmer humor post until I +have to actually deal with an old code base.</p> +<h3 id="tocanch7" class="tvis">pasteFilesV2 also deletes +file</h3> +<p>When called with some obscene parameters, this function actually +delete a file. What the hell.</p> +<p>Even my code is arguably less shitty in this regard.</p> +<h3 id="tocanch8" class="tvis">Practically no coding +conventions.</h3> +<p>Mixing tabs and spaces. Different indentation conventions. +Incompatible naming schemes and even misspelled words in identifiers. +You name it.</p> +<p>In fact, deepin does have coding conventions, as listed <a href="https://hualet.org/blog/2019/07/23/deepin-qt/c-%E4%BB%A3%E7%A0%81%E9%A3%8E%E6%A0%BC%E6%8C%87%E5%8D%97/">here</a> +and <a href="https://hualet.org/blog/2019/07/30/deepin-%E5%BC%80%E5%8F%91%E8%80%85%E8%A7%84%E8%8C%83/">here</a>. +<a id="n4" href="#note4" class="note">[4]</a> +Unfortunately, they are actively broken everyday in most projects.</p> +<p>In defense of deepin though, this problem bothers a lot of other open +source projects as well. My limited experience working with KDE’s +codebase has already exposed that at least parts of KDE (namely +libksysguard) suffers from the same problem.</p> +<h2 id="tocanch9" class="tvis">Weirdness, quirks and +other strange things</h2> +<h3 id="tocanch10" class="tvis">“Developers’ lives matter!”</h3> +<p>C’mon. If you have to equip your developers with computers that have +inferior specs than your system requirements, don’t expect them to be +super productive.</p> +<p>Of course I understand they are currently under a rather tight +budget, but they are offering quad core Core i5 to testers and new +employees (some of which are quite incompetent, as described in the next +section).</p> +<p>Also, they refrain to provide necessary hardware for development. +When I was adding optical disc authoring functionality to the file +manager, my request to have a dedicated external optical drive was +denied for some bizarre reason, and I had to share two optical drives +with the testing department and the technical support department. This +significantly hindered the development of the said feature, until I +found a spare internal drive in the warehouse.</p> +<p>Sometimes my friends there joked about the dessert as promised by the +recruiter wasn’t being resupplied in time. For me, the dessert was +really a surplus – I just want a computer that takes less than half an +hour to build something!</p> +<h3 id="tocanch11" class="tvis">Incompetent coworkers +start to pop up</h3> +<p>At a certain point of time (around June), I noticed a significant +increase of personnel inside deepin. Many of these new employees are +improperly trained. They don’t know how to incorporate git into the work +flow (some know nothing about basic git concepts, or even about Linux at +all), don’t look up documentation when troubled (instead they turn to +CSDN <a id="n5" href="#note5" class="note">[5]</a> for help). As a result, the company had to spend +extra time teaching them basic stuff, which to me seems a real waste of +time.</p> +<p>These incompetent employees are a major source of pain for project +leaders. Some of them spent an entire day trying to figure out the cause +of a very simple bug, without any level of success. Fortunately for +deepin, most of them can reach some degree of competency after a few +weeks of work (although they are still sometimes seen typing git +commands from their notebooks).</p> +<h3 id="tocanch12" class="tvis">“Designer-driven” development</h3> +<p>This is a truly hilarious one. Here at Deepin (especially the project +I’m personally working on, the file manager), product manager doesn’t +decide what the program should be capable to do, the artistic designer +does. The artistic designer almost has sole dictation on the +specification of the product in this regard. We as developers can +certainly dispute, but cases in which the designers changed their minds +were rather rare, and most effort we made to persuade them was +futile.</p> +<p>By the way the current artistic designer is a very dedicated Apple +fanboy. Expect some very Apple-ish bullshit in the next release.</p> +<h3 id="tocanch13" class="tvis">Code review, or “code +flattery”?</h3> +<p>Code review is mandatory for every commit in Deepin. However policy +of code review varied from people to people. The only one that really +took it seriously was zccrs, who could almost always pick out the code +where I screwed up <a id="n6" href="#note6" class="note">[6]</a>.</p> +<p>On the other end of the spectrum was my friend, BLumia. His code +review was usually just going through my code once, and seldom demand +changes. At first I thought he was just giving me free passes, until I +noticed obvious mistakes made by other coworkers that somehow slipped +through code review. <a id="n7" href="#note7" class="note">[7]</a></p> +<h3 id="tocanch14" class="tvis">Privacy issues?</h3> +<p>I didn’t get to work on anything that actively connects to the +Internet. So my position basically stayed the same as stated in my last +article. To reiterate:</p> +<ul> +<li>They did a poor job dealing with public relationship.</li> +<li>Telemetry should be off by default, or the user should be prompted +whether they want it on installation.</li> +<li>It’s free software though! You can check the code and strip +everything unwanted.</li> +</ul> +<p>However, it’s probably getting even worse for Deepin (the +distribution) users. I was told that an identifier of the user’s +computer along with its specification might be used in the future. If +you want to keep using DDE, but you still value your privacy, maybe +consider moving to another distribution and install DDE there +<a id="n8" href="#note8" class="note">[8]</a>.</p> +<h2 id="tocanch15" class="tvis">Dick moves</h2> +<h3 id="tocanch16" class="tvis">… as taken literally</h3> +<p>As the amount of employees increases, space originally designated for +everything else was re-purposed into work area. We had to move around +while still working. Things were not looking good.</p> +<p>Finally at the end of September, the company moved. This is regarded +as the reaction to their increasing demand of workforces (as the old +place has become very jam packed due to the sky rocketing number of +staff), but it was also a very under-prepared dick move. Formal +announcement of the move wasn’t published until the very last day. The +new place is in the middle of nowhere and barely furnished. There are +also two more completely empty floors, which are the source of later +pains.</p> +<p>The new place is much farther away, taking almost an hour by metro, +or 40 minutes by commute shuttles. This forces me to get up a lot +earlier, which is very disturbing. My overall life quality had +definitely taken a punch after that.</p> +<p>The place is actually bought from Huawei, who left a complete mess +behind when they withdrew themselves from the place. Soon after we moved +in, drilling and hammering sounds could be heard up stairs left and +right. It was actually very nerve wrecking.</p> +<p>As the company hasn’t yet settled down completely, many promised +treatments are thrown out of the window. These include: desserts served +during work hours (which are actually served as usual, but the amount +didn’t increase as the number of employee rises. As a result, it’s +basically gone.), monthly birthday celebration for employees, showering +facilities, etc.</p> +<p>This dick move made some of the coworkers staring to reconsider their +life choices seriously.</p> +<h3 id="tocanch17" class="tvis">Rushing V20</h3> +<p>V20 is going to be the next major release of Deepin. Initially the +planning for this release was rather relaxed: this major overhaul was +projected to take about a year to mature, during which another one or +two maintenance releases of the current Deepin 15 were planned. However, +for some reason unknown to us <a id="n9" href="#note9" class="note">[9]</a>, the deadline was pushed back by a huge margin: now it’s +expected to be released somewhere between Q4 2019 and Q1 2020.</p> +<p>Now, suddenly the rapid increase of personnel makes sense. But I have +to question the quality of the resulting software – and it’s not looking +too good for them either. Many of the new applications suffer from major +performance deficiency: one of the development snapshots of Deepin +picture viewer takes more than two minutes to startup, and completely +blacks out if the window is resized, the new archive manager can cause +major lags on the file manager. Hell, even my own creation, the new +computer view for Deepin file manager, suffers from some performance +issues while resizing. But I simply didn’t have the time to address it +completely.</p> +<p>Wheels have been reinvented during the sprint, lots of them. In fact, +it seems to be one of their goals to out-source no applications from +other desktop environments. They even created a browser (based on the +Chromium code base, of course) with the help from Qihoo 360 and an IME +with the help from Sougou. I could give Deepin credit for the effort, +but the quality of these wheels are questionable at best.</p> +<h3 id="tocanch18" class="tvis">Lacking / bad community +interaction</h3> +<p>This is more or less the same thing as what I have already wrote in +‘The “Deepin is spyware” problem’. But now that I have more insight, I +could write more on this topic.</p> +<p>Deepin is a for-profit company, feature requests from commercial +customers always take priority. As the number of employees barely meets +the need to develop those features, requests from the community are +usually ignored straight away. Such filtering happens before the +developers could see the feature requests – we won’t know about them +unless we browse the support forum ourselves.</p> +<p>The ‘designer-central’ process is very problematic too. In my +opinion, Deepin’s chief designer is extremely self-centric, narcissistic +even. This resulted in some very serious uproar in the community such as +this one: +https://github.com/linuxdeepin/developer-center/issues/1210#issuecomment-496341368 +Sometimes even the developers couldn’t put up with these design choices, +and added hidden options for switching to something more sensible.</p> +<h3 id="tocanch19" class="tvis">Illegal business practice</h3> +<p>Namely, deepin-wine breaking GNU LGPL.</p> +<p>Deepin has been distributing a fork of an outdated branch of wine +without releasing the source code for quite some time, which is a very +explicit disregard to wine’s license.</p> +<p>They have promised to release the source code, but has yet to do so. +In the mean time, wine has made three stable releases. So far they have +only came up with a single justification: the fear of their domestic +commercial competitors <a id="n10" href="#note10" class="note">[10]</a>‘stealing’ their hard work. If +this bullshit stands for even a second, everybody on this planet would +have been a drug dealer ’cause laws don’t do shit.</p> +<p>To be frank, we have dozens of (L)GPL breakers here in China and we +never stop producing even more of them. We have Allwinner and XiaoMi, to +name a few. FFmpeg’s original hall of shame page would give you a even +longer list, and you will find the names of some gargantuan Chinese tech +companies in it.</p> +<p>I don’t even think Deepin’s international acceptance has anything to +do with its commercial success (or lack thereof). Do they even have any +overseas commercial customers? If Deepin has really been a commercial +success, I probably wouldn’t have to develop with a computer equipped a +shitty Pentium that otherwise would find its home in the dumpster.</p> +<h3 id="tocanch20" class="tvis">Restructure shenanigans</h3> +<h3 id="tocanch21" class="tvis">Walking away from “the +founders’ spirits”</h3> +<p>This is definitely, definitely a huge misstep and a real deal +breaker.</p> +<p>IMO Deepin was once among the best meritocracy free software +community in China. However with the changes applying to their roadmap +since v20, everything started to disintegrate.</p> +<p>Barriers were deliberately added to the community contribution +process (the repositories on GitHub are now merely synced with internal +repositories). Writing documentation was considered slacking (happened +to me a couple of times), making the already terrible documentation +situation even worse. They basically stopped even trying to make the +development process transparent to the public.</p> +<p>User’s freedom was thrown out of the window. Community edition now +requires logging into an online account to enable root access, which is +basically the first step to a complete vendor lock down. I imagine many +users would resort to other distros and install DDE instead (if they +still fancy using DDE in its new look and feel).</p> +<p>Don’t get me wrong. DDE was (and still is) a beautiful desktop +environment (even only superficially as some people might thought). It +has followers who will use it no matter what. However, it demands a +fork. A fork with its founders’ spirits in mind.</p> +<h2 id="tocanch22" class="tvis">Epilogue</h2> +<p>I’ve actually tried out the current public beta of Deepin V20 as of +writing this section, and the majority of the issues I mentioned above +still hold up. Grave performance degradation seems a lot less common +though, although my shitty-performing computer view code has barely been +touched since I left. A lot of applications are still in dare need of +polishing. They’d better keep those commits flowin’.</p> +<p>At this point of time I don’t even know what I was rambling about. It +was 1:40 in the morning. Did I just typed over 15000 characters only to +diss Deepin? Nope. Dwelling on our past success never makes us progress. +It’s the reflection upon the mistakes we made that does.</p> +<p>https://www.zhihu.com/question/344339517/answer/817025546</p> +</article> +<!-- +vim: tw=0 syntax=markdown spell spelllang=en_us +--> +</div><br><hr> + <div class="TText" id="notediv" style="font-size:80%;"><span class="TText"><a id="note1" href="#n1">[1]</a>: vala?<br></span><span class="TText"><a id="note2" href="#n2">[2]</a>: and +definitely not a shitty one that only does repetitive work!
