8 was INCREDIBLY fast

It also used little resources and it was the last time Microsoft pulled a massive dev effort to modernize almost everything in Windows, significantly evolving it’s display and rendering pipeline and making a whole different design language

8 touch interface was also by far the best touch interface I’ve used

Certain things? Fucking luddite idiots don’t package 99.9% of software.

AIX Unix from the 1980s is literally more useful than that heap of garbage

SLiTaz

It’s an obscure originally live usage oriented distro that you could also install. It was the first *Nix I ever used.

I fucking love skeuomorphism !

Actually Vista performs on par or better, you just used it on a piece of shit device back in the day and the impression had been with you since

I have an older Samsung Tizen device – you don’t have to worry about privacy because the piece of shit has basically 0 servers to connect to and most of the time if you set a DNS server manually it will completely fail to connect to the internet anyway

Isn’t this only for Oracle’s JDK?

Just use an open source fucking solution

If there is ONE project that needs a rewrite in modern C++ OR Rust (or some other ‘safe’ language) it’s FUCKING CUPS

Please, Rust fanatics, do ONE good instead of rewriting GPL programs into a corpo-rat license

C++ when it was new was exactly like this. Rust still hasn’t had 30 years of legacy, all these Rust prophets will shit on it’s name in 15 years when they have to maintain huge codebases with it

Besides, C++ is very likely to adopt memory safety

They only invest in the fancy marketable new age shit, and well, corporate rejects (Tizen, MeeGo, etc)

Can people stop hating on shit?

FOR FUCKS SAKE, negative reinforcement dopamine has RUINED THE FUCKING NET.

EVERYWHERE I GO there’s someone bitching about something, hate circlejerks are unbelievably popular, people just love to hate on stuff.

You’re ruining your thought patterns with all these social media negativity bullshit.

Fucking TOML users hate on fucking YAML fucking C++ users hate Rust fucking Rust users hate literally everything under the sun and are insufferable to work with

EVERYONE, fucking CHILL

Only ChatGPT is obsessed with bullet points like this. I’m pretty damn sure this is an LLM response

So, you could say everyone is copying Elon Musk

Decent cheap brand. They’re actually centered in Nigeria and as such they have a big market there

Avis/Bridei/Artem has been active as a super troll on that forum for years and absolutely nothing had been done

Oh what’s that? Some rational thought in my ramblings? Nah we can’t have that in this sublemmy champ

Try programming in Dart. Dart’s static analyser and package manager will go nuts 0.0001 seconds before the fucking packages load

Their backend is really, REALLY garbage. Maybe it is some of that Microsoft trash that they snake oil’d into a lot of public offices and dumbass corpo managers, but whatever is running that site, has me concerned. You don’t do fucky things with passwords unless your backend is doing something really stupid.

X11 has exactly one developer who’s a vaccine denying turbocunt German, everyone else has dropped it and it’s codebase is practically unknown territory with security risks.

Look man, it’s dead already

You have a gross misunderstanding of what a display fucking system should do. X11 nowadays provides the same thing to apps as Wayland, except some bad design hacks that have become fundamental to writing Linux apps that are essentially workarounds for X11 sucking badly.

NOBODY uses X11’s font system or widget system or vector system nowadays. X11 provides you with a render plane and some other bullshit and the toolkit does the rest.

Which is the same as Wayland. Except Wayland actually has a properly designed and standardized way of doing things through the extension system, as in X11 everything is cobbled together from hacks.

A good example is absolute window positioning. Wayland doesn’t have it because it’s been found that it wasn’t actually really needed, people did things that way because something that’s essentially a clever hack had become the de facto standard on X11. Same thing with how X11 apps do window captures.

Generally, Wayland is a great leap in Linux desktop system. We’re catching up to what MacOS and Windows did 20 fucking years ago.
