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! π€¬ #signal

@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?

@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 donβt add is genuinely more important than what you do.

@eniko speaking of which, I finally bought Kitsune Tails and Midboss last weekβthey'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. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―

@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. -
