i want smaller applications with fewer updates made by people who are paid more to produce less code and i'm not kidding

[Gast]

@eniko I miss the days where getting an update was like christmas. Now I mumble to myself 'what did you mess up this time..'

[Gast]

@eniko And fewer applications. Today I learned that Ubuntu now has Snapshot, as well as screenshot but that Snapshot shows up as Camera, though it didn't when it was called Cheese. This happened 2 years ago.

@eniko Agreed! Updates are becoming an annoyance, like a swarm of gnats.

posts on mastodon can't blow up they said

mastodon has low engagement they said

@eniko looks like copying being the highest form of flattery is also possible in the fediverse https://donotsta.re/objects/67cb9b8d-ff23-4e10-8af3-f26ec1c50ac3

@pouncy_panda eh, that one's a bit different from mine so i wouldn't jump to conclusions

though even if someone copied it verbatim, in this case i'd probably just be happy to see this thought spreading further

[Gast]

@eniko lets see how long this takes to become a meme then

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@pouncy_panda hopefully someone shops it into a video game character image

[Gast]

@eniko God my poor server (a laptop in a closet) would probably just explode if I made a post with that much engagement.

@me i'm glad i decided i wasn't going to self host >_>

[Gast]

@eniko @pouncy_panda i instantly knew the perfect image for this and knew it had to be done (i used deathgenerator.com)

[Gast]

@maia @eniko @pouncy_panda
Ooh this inspired me to meme it in this format:

[Gast]

@eniko the fun thing is that even the non-techies want that!
But instead some racers or people who only look at the competition decide we must deliver faster...

[Gast]

@eniko
Skill issue, says I.

[Gast]

@eniko

We really need to go back to programs and libraries written with the Unix philosophy in mind

I don't know, I'm pretty happy with the calendar feature on my fridge
