@enigmatico @lispi314 @kimapr @bunnybeam case in point:

  • #Bloatedness was the original post topic and yes, due to #TechBros "#BuildFastBreakThings" mentality, #Bloatware is increasing given that a shitty bloated 50+MB "#WebApp" with like nw.js is easy to slap together (and yes I did so myself!) than to put in way more thought and effort (as you can see on the slow progression of OS/1337...

  • Yes, #Accessibility is something that needs to be taken more seriously and it's good to see that there's at least some attemots at making #accessibility mandatory (at least in #Germany, where I know from some insider that a big telco is investing a lot in that!) for a growng number of industries and websites...

  • And whilst one can slap an #RTX5090 on any laptop that has a fully-functional #ExpressCard slot (with #PCIe interface, using some janky adaptors!) that'll certainly not make sense beyond some #CUDA or other #GPGPU-style workloads as it's bottlenecked to a single PCIe lane of 2.0 (500MB/s) or just 1.0a(250MB/s) speeds.

Needless to say there is a need to THINN DOWN things cuz the current speed of #Enshittifcation and bloatedness combined with #AntiRepairDesign and overpriced yet worse #tech in general makes it unsustainable for an ever increasing population!

  • Not everyone wants (or even can!) indebt themselves just to have a phone or laptop!

Should we aim for more "#FrugslComputing"?

  • Abdolutely!

Is it realistic to expect things to be in a perfectly accessible TUI that ebery screenreader can handle?

  • No!

That being said the apathy of consumers is real, and very frustrating:

People get nudged into accepting all the bs and it really pisses me off because they want me to look like ab outsider / asshole for not submitting to #consumerism and #unsustainable shite...

ぷにすきーENIGMATICO :flag_bisexual: :flag_nonbinary: (@enigmatico)I get this is a joke, but here is the thing (aside of the joke). People doesnt use crappy laptops anymore. People moves on to phones/tablets, or if they want something more serious, something like a gamer PC. Most people will buy a console if they want to play games though. In that context, nobody cares anymore about bloat. If you are a developer its easier for you to use some bloaty framework that gets the job done in a couple days, because at the end of the day, if you're going to be exploited and crunched to death, you might as well make it as short as possible. And as a consumer, nobody really cares. You buy whatever allows you to do what you wwant and thats it. Or whatever your pocket allows you. And to be completely honest with you all, this has always been like this. You have to do with what you have. Could the world be better if everyone used pure C and assembly? Maybe... if companies had the intention to spend years developing ttheir products and fixing critical bugs before launch. By the time of the launch they would be obsolete. Kinda what happen to Duke Nukem Forever. RN: (📎1)
