What’s the most bloated software you regularly use, and why do you continue to use it over other options?
-
> Systemd
Was to stupid to install Artix instead of ArchOn the other hand every web app could be a candidate.
-
>Systemd
This, plus Brave, Firefox, and Steam (Flatpak). -
ur a freaking scrotebrain for think artix is any better
-
Better is subjective. If avoiding systemd is your preference, then it’s better for you.

Thought of switching to artix, but didnt like the logo as much as arch’s one, and didn’t want to ruin my neofetch output. Apparently artix also holds back package updates so it doesn’t break their users systems.
So i installed openrc on arch using the guide on the wiki, pretty much everything worked, though pacman hooks were kinda borked, and the system was more of a hack. I really wish arch supports some other initd, coz altho systemd works, its insecure, has a dev who doesn’t care about security and bloat.

vscodium/discord (because electron).
vscodium because it’s extremely easy to use and configure, has sane defaults, and has the most support for extensions/plugins.
discord because it’s what my friends use and gayming.

256mb ram?

vnc into a vps

might as well just use the tty
-
MS Office 2019 (but prefer 2016), Keysight ADS. Because I need them and there are no good alternatives. I also use Acrobat Pro because I used to it.
Why? I guess you can get more RAM than that for free nowadays.

There is a significant difference between the two.

If you haven’t seen them eat, how do you tell if they’re a "gluttonous slob"?

What’s the appeal of squishy? You like playing with their tummies?

The web. It’s massive cancerous bloat. I use it because all alternatives are just a speck of dust as of right now.
-
the web is an entity, not a software.
Unless you mean HTTPS + SQL + HTML + SSL + TCP/IP Implementation + yadda yadda yadda-

All the standards web browsers have to implement in order to fully function on modern sites.

i just write desktop native software for all the websites i use (youtube, manga sites, matrix, LULZ, peertube, soundcloud, nyaa.si and others)

That’s neat. Do you share it? Have a public repo?

Thanks.

Probably IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm. But I actually use many of the niche features so it doesn’t feel like bloat.

Samsung phones.
Why the fuck doesn’t samsung make a stock android version of all their shit? Why does it always have to have their BS skin and their BS apps that do the exact same thing as a stock google apps?
-
vscode (electron) because the alternatives that exist dont have as nice navigation keys and they dont have any option to use mouse button navigation. Other tools dont support clang compilation database as well as vscode does either. Dark color themes are also pretty bad.

2. LULZ-
Compared to the average big site, in what way is LULZ bloated?
-
scroll up and tell me how many boards there are
-
I don’t know how many there are there’s too many
-
I have a better one for you. How many more times subreddits are there than LULZ boards?
-
is each one explicitly managed by reddit staff? Or is it a federated kind of thing?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit#Users_and_moderators
>Subreddits are overseen by moderators, Reddit users who earn the title by creating a subreddit or being promoted by a current moderator.[66] These moderators are volunteers who manage their communities, set and enforce community-specific rules, remove posts and comments that violate these rules, and generally work to keep discussions in their subreddit on topic.[66][79][80] Admins, by contrast, are paid to work for Reddit.[79]
>Reddit also releases transparency reports annually which have information like how many posts have been taken down by moderators and for what reason. It also details information about requests law enforcement agencies have made for information about users or to take down content.[81] In 2020, Reddit removed 6% of posts made on their platform (approx. 233 million). More than 99% of removals were marked as spam; the remainder made up of a mix of other offensive content. Around 131 million posts were removed by the automated moderator and the rest were taken down manually.[82][83]
>Subreddits are user-created areas of interest where discussions on Reddit are organized. There are about 138,000 active subreddits (among a total of 1.2 million) as of July 2018.[84][85] Subreddit names begin with "r/"; for instance, "r/science" is a community devoted to discussing scientific topics, while "r/television" is a community devoted to discussing TV shows and "r/Islam", a community dedicated for Islam oriented topics.
>In a 2014 interview with Memeburn, Erik Martin, then general manager of Reddit, remarked that their "approach is to give the community moderators or curators as much control as possible so that they can shape and cultivate the type of communities they want".[86] Subreddits often use themed variants of Reddit’s alien mascot, Snoo, in the visual styling of their communities.[87]-

Libre Office on Ubuntu. Microsoft Office uses less ram than Libre Office.

I work in industrial machinery and I saw lots of shit with Pentium 266mhz with 32mb of ram and they are slow as shit and crashed every week. Other shit are most ancient and still ran on Z80s. Before I worked in banks and saw a freaking 1980s Mainframe

iTunes 12.10. Ugly, even compared to pre-12.5 iTunes versions, especially compared to iTunes 11, and most features utterly useless. But it’s the only way to transfer content over USB. Once my iPhone SE is dead, I’ll be getting an Android phone, and can finally enjoy iTunes 11 or 10 or older again.
-
>I’ll be getting an Android phone, and can finally enjoy iTunes 11 or 10 or older again.
What compels you to continue using iTunes at any version at that point? Isn’t it shit?-
Local music management. Easy GUI to modify mp3 tag, add descriptions and lyrics, add new songs via drag&drop (no “rescan library” bs and “add new folder” bs), and skeumorphic UI to match Winblows 7. Not to mention it performs soooo much faster than iTunes 12, I swear Apple intentionally ruined it to get normalscrotes to stream on their useless service.
I get that there’s other software like MusicBee and MediaMonkey, but they never felt as intuitive and straightforward.-
When I was a winscrote I used foobar. It worked perfectly well. You can customize it heavily.

>Firefox
any other browser is shit. Firefox is actually shit too but it’s the shit I’m used to. -
Windows
Because it runs all my apps that even Mac os can’t and has an interface that, while kind of bad, it’s still better than anything Linux has.-
Doesn’t bother you that it’s malware?
https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-microsoft.html-
Your assumption is incorrect but even if it were somehow malware, I would still use it because it makes me tons of cash that I need to pay my bills.
-
It’s not an assumption, it’s fact. Read the GNU article, they did a good job outlining things, along with linked references.
-
-
Maybe if the gnu focused on making a better desktop rather than wasting their energy hating Microsoft, I would switch.
-
What’s lacking on desktop?
Proprietary application support? Nothing to do with GNU.
If it’s user interface, you already have many options, I doubt none would suit you. I like tiling WMs, but have also found Xfce to be okay for a traditional desktop interface.
In all other aspects it’s an extremely flexible OS. Even big things like systemd that people complain about is really optional and not hard to avoid.
All of its benefits outweigh the negatives in the end. There’s always room for improvement, but it works for me in its current state. I wouldn’t trust any of my personal computing with a proprietary OS. If I absolutely needed to run some proprietary garbage, I’d use a separate setup isolated from anything personal for those specific tasks, only sane way to do it.
