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

@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?

Hear hear!
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! ๐คฌ #signal
@regendans No such problem with @delta fortunately.

@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.
(Yes, that's probably not great for security vulnerability reasons..

@RandamuMaki @delta Yes, indeed. Very few software updates with DeltaChat and they appear to be a great team doing good things.

@eniko What you donโt add is genuinely more important than what you do.

@eniko speaking of which, I finally bought Kitsune Tails and Midboss last weekโthey're both a lot of fun
@alice oh I'm so glad to hear you like them

@regendans @delta I just wish I knew more people in my social circles who either already use it or are willing to try it. ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ

@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

@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.

@eniko don't forget to add doesn't require an always on Internet connection.

@eniko i'm working on it

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

@eniko in many cases iโd be willing to pay *more* for this approach.
