I don't quite get the rationale but ok.

Trying to attribute it to just one cause is always fallacious. In truth the modern Western diet is probably the worst of it. Highly processed seed oils that are chemically extracted and used for frying and baking. I'm not one of those

I am continuingly impressed by Serenity, even if there are times I disagree with the implementations.

Zig is overall pretty good as a language and it does what it needs to: staying in the lane of the purpose is very important. It is why I do not particularly care for some languages being used just because.

This is one of the problems with modern academia. It's hard to extrapolate these things

Roman lead pipes were not a significant factor on the health of humans back then... To the same extent as public sewers, bathing, hygiene rules etc. Rome had it a lot better than even some countries today. Yeah you still had to deal with in

You don't have to necessarily use kqueue on a BSD. In areas where it might make more sense performance wise you can obviously use poll. I'm not opposed to introducing an alternative interface like epoll, but it's only recentl

I don't have a system capable of building rust applications so no thank you

It's 'easier' for some people but you lose GNU bash compatibility and it kinda underlines all of the issues with interactive only shell systems -- a lack of interoperability. It's honestly a non-issue in the current year

Exactly. People think it's okay to waste memory just because.

Nedit takes like 6M on a Linux machine. Older and lighter toolkits like fltk are better.

Swift requires LLVM and has shit performance. I'm generally a fan of only C/C++ and Pascal/Modula stuff. All these new found languages like Rust and swift are pure trash.

Swift means it'll require LLVM. QT is bloated and resource intensive. Most of us don't want gigabytes of data being spent on special effects.

Unfortunately, with it's use of Swift code, QT (which is now a bloated piece of trash since version 5) etc. It's just not tenable unless they give us a pure version without that shit

HPE bought Rackable for NUMALink tech, moreorless. I'd have less faith in corporations to do the right thing. As an Indian, I get nothing but slave treatment even in America because I'm expected to work for less and harder than my

I understand. Raion of the pre-2021 era was prone to making a lot of edgy and offensive jokes. He made a joke about me being Indian and I kinda just went "really bro?". He expressed regret when I talked to him in 2022 about it. I&

Ah yes the same people who run that "more welcoming place" dog piled and harassed the guy on Reddit leading to two of them getting permabanned from Reddit for violating the content policies regarding harassment, doxxing and more.

It's generally agreed upon that was an excuse. He had volunteers in the community ready to step up and had been accepting PayPal donations for years. Nekonoko is like most of us eccentric. I guess he kinda just gave up.

6.5.5 and 6.5.7. My guess? They probably wanna test the waters before committing to that.

More to the point I think effects are fine if they don't take up massive amounts of resources.

What I meant was that who wants 500 plus megs of RAM dedicated solely to transparency and pretty special effects on the desktop? Idiots that's who. Edit: You might not see the problem if you have a computer with 32 GB of RAM and I cert

They probably have some kind of source code for it. There exists source leaks out there, fwiw. But as far as people who understand and can work with it? All gone.

I rather think Motif looks fine. People complain but eye candy is wasted resources.
