#enfattening

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Modern #TechStack|s are convenient but they also make #developers lazy and result in the #enfattening of #Software and #Games.

Nowadays we have shitty #WebApps that eat up 100+MB just for a #WebView and which are instantly useless once they don't have a high-speed, low latency internet connection!

  • People like #GraceHopper and #MargaretHamilton propably wouldn't even be mad, but just disappointed, knowing how a modern #IDE eats more computing power than the entire human race had at their career peaks...

And don't even get me started on all the #WastefulComputing aka. "#AI" #bs and #Shitcoin - #Scams!

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@sekka@shark.community But one of the best tracks - abeit #Blues, not #Chill or #Jazz - is Blue Mary Blues Real Bout - Fatal Fury Special (Neo Geo CD Version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3XTuBZiC4w https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=-3XTuBZiC4w Hard to believe they were able to get this done with a 135 kbit/s CD-ROM drive and 2 MB of cache! #music #mukke #mood #KingOfFighters #OST #GameMusic #Soundtrack #NeoGeo #NeoGeoCD

@topher the problem is the #Enshittifiaction and #Enfattening of #Websites and #Applications!

Seriously, I think that #Microsoft should be sued into insolvency for the way they create 100% avoidable #eWaste with #CensorBoot and #Windows11 to the point that if I didn't have my current job, I'd basically collect all the old machines from companies that are stupid enough to use #Windows [and they'll likely give them away for free minus SSDs / HDDs instead of paying €5+ for #recycling], shove some #Linux on [i.e. #RaspberryPiOS, #BunsenLabsLinux or #UbuntuLTS] and sell those off as used electronics for a good profit.

@GuidoKuehn die #Enshittification oder eher #Enfattening / #Verfettung des #Autos ist entgegen langläufiger Meinung nicht allein auf Regulatorien in.sachen #Sicherheit zurückzuführen sondern #Ego-basierte Entscheidungen der #Käufer*innen und der Kopie von Strategien aus den #USA, um #Umweltauflagen wie #Flottenemission|sstandards (#USEPA #CAFE) zu untergraben...

@Dexruus @asltf @BlumeEvolution natürlich, genauso wie ein Wolf billiger als ne A-Klasse in Vollausstattung ist...

So oder so st die #Verfettung (#Enfattening) und #Enshittification von #Autos ein Problem und der einzig wirksame Move ist sich dem konsequent zu verweigern und im Zweifelsfalle - wenn unvermeidbar - etwas zu kaufen was halt - kein*"#Auto"* im Sinne der EG-Fahrzeugklasse M1 ist...
