#bloated
@KarlHeinzHasliP @denki which brings me back to my point that #CarManufacturers "#phat and #bloated" monstrosities need to die out for good…
@FirewallDragons needless to, say I'm dissatisfied with existing options re: #Firmware, espechally for.my prokects like #PocketCrypto [1], #Cryptofon [2] and #LambdaCrypt [3] that I started @OS1337 [4] as #OpenADK, #YoctoProject amd #LinuxFromScratch are either too #cringe, #bloated or #complex IMHO and I wantes something simple and auditable...

Not to mention a #GNUfree Linux distro is kinda useful given that the #FSF has kinda given up on being a net-positive and instead turned itself into "The church of #GNU" overflowing with Stallmanists whilst their stuff gets #bloated af and better alternatives show up.
- A good example is #enc which is way less cumbersome than #GnuPG / #OpenPGP and just works!
@SweetAIBelle @OS1337 nodds in agreement #LinuxFromScratch basically builds a whole #GNU / #Linux distro with #rpm and all the #LSB-compliant stuff...
- I too think it's really #bloated because most of that isn't needed.
Similarly I think that #SystemD is a net positive on anything beyond space-constrained minimalism. It just didn't make the cut being too big to fit as of now.
Republicans have had remarkable success mobilizing resentment against school teachers, or auto workers (and not, significantly, against the school administrators or auto industry managers who actually cause the problems) for their #supposedly #bloated #wages and #benefits.
It's as if they are being told
‘but you get to teach children! Or make cars! You get to have #real #jobs! And on top of that you have the nerve to also expect middle-class pensions and health care?’
If someone had designed a work regime perfectly suited to maintaining the #power of #finance #capital, it's hard to see how they could have done a better job.
Real, productive workers are relentlessly squeezed and exploited.
The remainder are divided between a terrorised stratum of the, universally reviled, unemployed and a larger stratum who are basically paid to do nothing, in positions designed to make them identify with the perspectives and sensibilities of the ruling class (managers, administrators, etc.)
—and particularly its financial avatars
—but, at the same time, foster a simmering resentment against anyone whose work has clear and undeniable social value.
Clearly, the system was never consciously designed.
It emerged from almost a century of trial and error.
But it is the only explanation for why, despite our technological capacities, we are not all working 3–4 hour days.
This is why the modern web sucks.
- Excessive "Javascript"
- Takes ages to load
- Pop-up boxes
- Forced "essential" cookies
To name a few.
We are forced to put up with all this inconvenience before we can get to the content we want to read.
The modern web is bloated as fuck. I'll take the early 2000's internet any day. Rant over.
I tried to warn everyone I could about Adams, but who listens? What a terrible mistake we made in electing this guy mayor. First a 5 billion dollar handout to the unabashed racists at the PBA, now this freak show while teachersnand libraries suffer epic budget cuts. #bloated #cops #nypol https://gothamist.com/news/robot-dogs-tiny-rocket-ships-will-soon-work-alongside-nypd-officers
