    @eniko can we also get mobile operating systems that get more optimized and less resource hungry with every update so that devices can run for 10+ years before becoming obsolete?

    @themipper @eniko can we also get mobile operating systems, in general? Or mobile form-factor devices that are actual computers?

      I'm pretty tired of downloading some 100 MB every week for Signal desktop for minor changes. And did you see how the changelog in /usr/share/doc looks like for Signal-desktop on Linux each time ? Yeah, whatever, Signal! ๐Ÿคฌ #signal

        @eniko Yes, please, still and forever. This is the phrasing I couldn't quite figure out.

          @eniko Currently, my favourite app is Out-Run, and I think it's basically been abandoned by the developer.

          favicon

          (apps.apple.com)

          (Yes, that's probably not great for security vulnerability reasons.. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ)

                @eniko @Meyerweb first place to start is avoiding tracking, because those are bigger, have more updates and have more code.

                The challenging part is convincing your government and bank to do the same so you can still use their services.

                      @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place so do i. what you're describing sounds a lot like the unix philosophy. (do one thing and do it well)

                      i'm in the same boat as a lot of windows users rn. i want to switch to BSD, but i need linux for video games

                        @datarama @eniko Rwgarding "out of things where they have no save reason to be"... I would honestly love more well-made dumb appliances.

                        There is zero reason to ever discover my toaster is part of a botnet.

                        @daviddoes @datarama @eniko I remember NetBSD claiming to run on toasters, maybe 20 years ago. Probably gave the wrong people ideas. But I guess if I had to have software on my toaster I could do a lot worse.

                          @eniko can we also request the coders to have a nap time during the day? Rest is important, and I'm not kidding about that either.

                                  @MeaningfulBits @eniko should be illegal to call it an "app" if it does.
                                  Maybe call it a "shim" instead.
