@eniko I can switch on a BBC micro and load View in less time than I can wake my Windows 11 laptop and load MS Word. Seems that the faster computers become; the longer it takes to do the same things with them.

@eniko +9001%
I want smaller, auditable, reproduceable and simple systems! -
@eniko can we also request the coders to have a nap time during the day? Rest is important, and I'm not kidding about that either.

@eniko I miss the days where getting an update was like christmas. Now I mumble to myself 'what did you mess up this time..'

@eniko And fewer applications. Today I learned that Ubuntu now has Snapshot, as well as screenshot but that Snapshot shows up as Camera, though it didn't when it was called Cheese. This happened 2 years ago.

@eniko Agreed! Updates are becoming an annoyance, like a swarm of gnats.

@pouncy_panda eh, that one's a bit different from mine so i wouldn't jump to conclusions
though even if someone copied it verbatim, in this case i'd probably just be happy to see this thought spreading further

@eniko God my poor server (a laptop in a closet) would probably just explode if I made a post with that much engagement. -

@eniko the fun thing is that even the non-techies want that!
But instead some racers or people who only look at the competition decide we must deliver faster... -

We really need to go back to programs and libraries written with the Unix philosophy in mind
