   Computers got more performant, but software got way more complex too. I remember connecting the hard drive from my desktop that had AMD K6-2+ to ThinkPad T43 to speed things up — and it seemed like a breeze in the early 2000s. I still have that T43 — now it would probably take forever to build even the kernel on it, even running some software on it, like Firefox with complex enough websites, became a pain 😂

     @m0xee @yakumo_izuru @kirby My opinion is obviously scewed by game devs but it seems no one wants to actually optimize shit. They just release a buggy mess and then expect the consumer to make up for it with hardware that can struggle through the burden they've unnecessarily burdened it with.

     @supersid333 @yakumo_izuru @m0xee in the context of the kernel this is a pretty flawed mindset lol, code review happens way too often in the kernel i would imagine, and linus seems to at least make sure bad code doesn't get merged into the kernel [obviously not counting the times where, that happened, but we live and learn]
     
     in a general context,

     @kirby @yakumo_izuru @m0xee Good to hear that it's at least better in the places that it reasonably should be. I'm just bitter and half dead at the moment so don't mind me lol.
