Yeah, you'd better hurry.
In 1000 years this meme/tweet/post will be what my entire generation's existence will be known for. Noone will remember the politics, the disasters, the geopolitical events good or bad, they will remember our entire world and existence ad the only time that technology advancement was driven by the big tech mafia trying to see how far it can get it's dick in your digital footprint.
It's the new cops v robbers or bootleggers v prohibition race. Our tech is getting faster to out run the corporate fuckin maleare but the faster we go the more they stuff in so to the avg user they're ended with paying $6k for a GPU/cpu combo that runs at the same efficiency as my school library's c9mputer did running ms-dos running Oregon Trail in 1995. You are so confined by only having access to functions with massive fuckiing app buttons that even logging in as a guest user req you to memorize every CLI ever made.
It's become my defining "I don't want to live in this world anymore"

I would love to be this person. I'll even fix some of the bugs I find.
Doesn't really matter what your developers run on, you need your QA to be running on trash hardware.
We can even cut out the middleman and optimize unity and unreal to run on crap
Jokes on you, my corporate job has crippled the Mac they gave us so much that EVERYONE has trash hardware!
You have my vote.
We need more shorter games, made by happier devs paid more to work fewer hours, with worse graphics.
Steam is full of shorter games with worse graphics made by indy devs. Guess what? No one gives a shit! Because no one needs crappy games from 1980-s.

I need a glass of whiskey.
Don't we all, though I'm not opposed to any good liquor
The thing is that developers tend to keep things as simple as possible and overly optimize stuff, when you find bloatware is usually some manager that decided to have it.
It's the marketing. Always the marketing. Especially the SEO guys.
One SEO guy we worked with told us not to cache our websites because he was convinced that it helped. He badgered us about it for weeks, showed us some bullshit graphs and whatever. One day we got fed up and told him we'd disabled the cache and he should keep an eye out for any improvements in traffic. Obviously we didn't actually do anything of the sort because we are not fucking idiots. Couple days later the SEO wizard sent us another bunch of figures and said "see, I told you it would help I know my stuff". He did not, in fact, know his stuff.

The thing is
Of course, we developers like to optimize and patch source code all the time. If I am suddenly woken up at three in the morning, I will immediately open the lid of my laptop and start optimizing the code. That's our little developer secret.
I think I already posted this at some point, but Software Disenchantment is always worth mentioning in this context.
I like how KDE has been getting faster and faster as time went on. Like Lisa Simpson's perpetuum mobile.
The ideal is βplays fine at lowest graphics settings on old hardwareβ while having βhigh graphics settingsβ that look fantastic but requires too-of-the-line hardware to play reasonably.
Generally this is almost impossible to achieve.

How goes the saying? 32 MB of RAM and always swapping?
I've heard Emacs as eight mb and constantly swapping (I use Emacs BTW)
Your awesome for correcting me (I use vim BTW)
Plus emacs and lisp are superior. But I didn't managed to jump ships.
If I can't type the program into my TRS-80 from a computer magazine I don't trust it.
I was going to laught at the hypocricy of you using lemmy, definitely not using your TRS-80 but I don't trust my phone, the lemmy app or lemmy server either.
Trash 80 dialing in to a Linux shell account using one of the various cli lemmy clients should work
We just need to write a version of Lemmy that runs in basic on a TRS-80 and publish a magazine
