IOW, software is getting worse faster than hardware is getting better. Here's a talk on the subject, from a guy who's actually trying to do something about it: https://youtu.be/pW-SOdj4Kkk

Software is not the problem, programmers are all going to the governments that are any good and the rest are left for tech for the masses. I think this is the problem with linux. GTK is going to shit and they went to system D and that allow less capable devs to create software that is lacking but works. Hell our systems are slower it seems than just 20 years ago where windows xp I had on a single core 1.6 ghz with 1.5gb of ram would make it fly but it won't do half the speed now with 10x those specs so linux is creating a hardware demand where we actually need geniuses in software speed not faster hardware. Also drivers and bioses are not growing faster just more gui decortation that no one gives a fuck about.

Bullshit. Their programmers are crap.

By government I meant the part that makes viruses and shit like the one that took out the Iranian uranium enrichment centers. The ones that create back-doors into everyone's computers and put holes in encryption technologies. The antivirus companies are only finding these holes and then it's back to hacking away at privacy of citizens so they are vulnerable to other hackers.

I think you mean Windows.

Linux is snappy.

Just need to exorcise systemD some day.

Why was this moved to Linux? I originally posted this in tellpoal. I view my post being moved to a sub other than the one I intended it to be in as a form of censorship. I think this was moved perhaps arrogantly because maybe my intended audience will not read this the same as you. Unfortunately this is the kind of thing that will make me stop visiting your site and go make friends in the real world. I swear I'll do it out of spite alone.

> In 10 years dirt cheap laptops that run on bare bones linux will have 128gb ram and the cpu/gpu equivalent of a modern day top tier gaming rig yet will still somehow take half an hour to boot and crash if you have more than one tab open. It's a Linux discussion. Stop crying.

It's not a Linux-specific discussion. OP most likely used "bare bones linux" as an example of relatively "low-end" software. It was kind of a low-effort, low-inforamation shitpost though.

I wish I could use barebones, my system would fly then now we have college fag gets programming job for their butt skills with boss so we all suffer with garbage systems. Just get politics and sex out of linux and get the smarts aspergers guys back, a 100 graduates of mit cannot compete against a true aspergers self taught programmers, boo hoo he hurt your faggot feelings with his jokes.

exactly, we'll the first part. It's not low effort. It's an observation of the absurd inefficiencies in personal and dare I say even business computing.

> Possible. But never the less it was a linux based discussion, and POAL does have a subverse for most everything. Even shitposting, lol.

It is how AOU 'helps'... don't complain too hard or he will nuke your account like he did mine

lol. right.

...in a shit post sub, someone called aou a faggot and I laughed, because I think he is one. so I up voted the comment. Next day I have -300pts because I was 'part of a targeted shill campaign'. right... it is shadow banning and everyone is afraid to admit it. I get like one comment a day now because I upvoted content aou did not like? think about it.

Well windows would be the poster child of crappy software but tech might be the best place for this. Linux is going where windows went 20 years ago with ME and vista. If you've seen the old desktop themes for slow machines 10 years ago they were amazing looking then the people realized linux was shitting itself with system d and just non maintenance and they all stopped making it and now we have facebook clone desktops that suck balls and you can't tell the panel from the open windows since they only use 16 colors like we are still using dos bases systems.
