I don't quite get the rationale but ok.

Trying to attribute it to just one cause is always fallacious. In truth the modern Western diet is probably the worst of it.

Highly processed seed oils that are chemically extracted and used for frying and baking. I'm not one of those people who believes that they are genuinely toxic but they have too much omega-6.

Inexpensive sources of sugar everywhere.

Conditioners and preservatives in everything.

Most vegetables and fruits are sprayed with pesticides to some degree.

Low variety and diversity of vegetables in traditional diets.

Combine this with exceedingly high levels of misinformation both from the government and various dietitians, celebrities, medical journals, doctors, Facebook groups and users, conspiracy theorists etc. It's hard for people to know what is actually going to kill them and what isn't.

All I can tell you is is that I got a pair of 90-year-old grandparents who always eat eggs and bacon for breakfast, cook their food the old fashioned way, drink plenty of tea and always seek out the highest quality ingredients for their foods.

I am continuingly impressed by Serenity, even if there are times I disagree with the implementations.

What, global warming?? Naaaaaillllll!

Zig is overall pretty good as a language and it does what it needs to: staying in the lane of the purpose is very important. It is why I do not particularly care for some languages being used just because.

This is one of the problems with modern academia. It's hard to extrapolate these things

Roman lead pipes were not a significant factor on the health of humans back then... To the same extent as public sewers, bathing, hygiene rules etc. Rome had it a lot better than even some countries today. Yeah you still had to deal with infections and such which could have been deadly but time and medicine era that you were in you had way better health outcomes in Rome

You don't have to necessarily use kqueue on a BSD. In areas where it might make more sense performance wise you can obviously use poll. I'm not opposed to introducing an alternative interface like epoll, but it's only recently that Linux has managed to bridge the network performance gap. I attribute that to a lot of money being poured into it with pure and raw optimization from all of the Linux sponsors that they get which is really cool and great for them but it does not necessarily make gnu/Linux a purer system. Both approaches have their merits. There's no reason to sit here and claim that one is better than the other

I don't have a system capable of building rust applications so no thank you

It's 'easier' for some people but you lose GNU bash compatibility and it kinda underlines all of the issues with interactive only shell systems -- a lack of interoperability.

It's honestly a non-issue in the current year to learn zsh or tcsh

Exactly. People think it's okay to waste memory just because.

Nedit takes like 6M on a Linux machine.

Older and lighter toolkits like fltk are better.

Motif is still a thing!!!

Swift requires LLVM and has shit performance. I'm generally a fan of only C/C++ and Pascal/Modula stuff. All these new found languages like Rust and swift are pure trash.

Swift means it'll require LLVM.

QT is bloated and resource intensive. Most of us don't want gigabytes of data being spent on special effects.

Unfortunately, with it's use of Swift code, QT (which is now a bloated piece of trash since version 5) etc. It's just not tenable unless they give us a pure version without that shit

HPE bought Rackable for NUMALink tech, moreorless.

I'd have less faith in corporations to do the right thing. As an Indian, I get nothing but slave treatment even in America because I'm expected to work for less and harder than my white counterparts.

I understand. Raion of the pre-2021 era was prone to making a lot of edgy and offensive jokes. He made a joke about me being Indian and I kinda just went "really bro?". He expressed regret when I talked to him in 2022 about it. I'm just not able to excuse a bunch of grown men attempting to call him a criminal for urbex or hold his past against them forever.

Ah yes the same people who run that "more welcoming place" dog piled and harassed the guy on Reddit leading to two of them getting permabanned from Reddit for violating the content policies regarding harassment, doxxing and more.

Sometimes, people are bad the whole way round. Lesser of two evils may be necessary.

It's generally agreed upon that was an excuse. He had volunteers in the community ready to step up and had been accepting PayPal donations for years. Nekonoko is like most of us eccentric. I guess he kinda just gave up.

6.5.5 and 6.5.7. My guess? They probably wanna test the waters before committing to that.

More to the point I think effects are fine if they don't take up massive amounts of resources.

What I meant was that who wants 500 plus megs of RAM dedicated solely to transparency and pretty special effects on the desktop? Idiots that's who.

Edit:

You might not see the problem if you have a computer with 32 GB of RAM and I certainly do. However I like to ensure that responsiveness is first up.

IRIX Motif is 2D accelerated and very snappy as it's multi threaded and designed for power users.

I've never used KDE but remember Windows Aero? Metro? What about macOS's Aqua UI? They use tons of resources and often times when the computer is just a couple years old it becomes unusable with the typical system bloat that occurs.

What I'm basically trying to say is that visual effects that aren't well designed aren't worth the resources they take up. Functionality over aesthetics any day.

They probably have some kind of source code for it. There exists source leaks out there, fwiw. But as far as people who understand and can work with it? All gone.

Got millions?

I rather think Motif looks fine. People complain but eye candy is wasted resources.
