  • Linux is the reason Windows apps are bloated these days

    Jump

  • I wasn’t clear and that seems to have cause some confusion. I was talking about the Linux kernel itself, and only the Linux kernel.

    There are two sides to the Linux kernel: internal exposed to drivers and such, external syscalls exposed to the public. That’s what I was talking about.

    All bets are off with 3rd party software. That’s just a general problem in software development. It’s not specific to Linux, and it’s why vendoring libraries is recommended.

    This is why all the 3rd party software is frozen at a point-in-time with fixes backported in distros like Debian or RHEL. It fixes the problems of devs being mercurial. The distro is the SDK. It creates a stable base, and it works rather well.

    Unfortunately, most software relies on libc and a compiler. Both of which can be problems, and both of which are external to the Linux kernel. There’s not much which relies on only kernel syscalls.

  • Basically. Out-of-tree drivers are annoying without an LTS kernel.

    There are also out-of-tree drivers which don’t get mainlined for one reason or another even though they are FOSS. OpenZFS has this problem, and now so does bcachefs.

    1. The user land API/ABI is stable to a fault in Linux. The kernel API/ABI is unstable.
    2. Companies are cheap. They hired web devs then tasked them with building a desktop application rather then hiring people to write native apps. They had a hammer and used it to fix every problem they had.
    3. macOS is just as affected by electron apps as a Linux is.
    4. Electron is horrible, but it does bring apps to many an OS once Chromium is ported.
    5. Open protocols or open APIs from the company would fix the non-native app problem.

  • It is. It’s just not particularly good outside of a X11/Wayland environment.

    I think this being worked on though.

  • Indeed, they care to an extent. They have even devised tests to see how much they should care. They are very measured with their caring.

  • How is this applicable to the comment? Companies never figured out how to charge rent for those.

    Devs see home computers as a free resource, and the burden is on the consumer to buy a computer which runs their software.

  • Yeah, stupid shit is stupid shit.

    A better front suspension setup would make the car more forgiving though. Most of it is on Ford for not fixing their setup.

  • I have more sense than that. 😆

    More like AOC isn’t a corporate Dem and full throated capitalist the way Hillary is.

  • It’s making fun of the Tesla person, and every bench racer who bags on other cars because they don’t have the numbers to beat a Camry.

  • It’s the lack of camber in their front suspension setup, from what I’ve heard.

    The solid rear axle is bad when they hit a bump mid-corner and hop, but it’s the lack of camber in the front tires which makes them especially problematic in spins. It takes cat like reactions to catch a mustang, which very few people have.

    I guess the fun of spinning into a ditch or other people is part of the mustang mystique, so it never gets fixed.

    But yeah. The down votes aren’t warranted.

  • Yep, but according to my girlfriend, I’m a misogynist when I mention how bad of a candidate she was. She also hates AOC on principle, so I’m not sure I shouldn’t get some different opinions.

  • Nah. Web devs will create even more bloated web pages to keep home computing in business.

    For real though, most people don’t need that much computing power, and we reached the plateau 12 years ago. That’s why we’re seeing crypto and AI grifts happen. They recentralize decentralized systems. The elites are striking back.

    You know the saying“information wants to be free; information wants to be expensive”? This is the expensive part where people try to horde knowledge by making it inaccessible to everyday people.

  • What would you have done with the sauté?

    My instinct is butter and maggi, maybe some garlic, but I feel that’s more European than Asian.
