1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui's and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet...

    Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

    Things haven't been the same since web 1.0 came out

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago (3 children)

    Last year, I got myself a new Camera, a Lumix S5, and after uploading some photos to DeviantArt (I have had the same account for almost 20 years) and browsing my gallery I realized that I had had enough.

    It was so slow and annoying to work with.

    So I sat down and started work on a simple webpage that I could host on a normal webhost.

    And I built a nice index page in HTML/CSS, and then used photo albums generated by digiKam for the photo albums.

    It loads fast, it is easy to navigate, fairly easy to update, and the photo albums can be navigated with arrow keys or swipe gestures.

    I am considering writing a blog UI for me to be able to make a simple blogging page, I'll still write it in static HTML/CSS, so I'll have to write every blog entry in HTML as it stands now, but I'll keep looking for easier alternatives

    Word. I often complain at work how programming and programmers seem to take "computing resources are cheap" as "USE FUCKING EVERYTHING". There is fuckloads of bloat and web frameworks that are somehow marketed as "lightweight" despite making everything, even the development speed, worse in nearly every aspect.

    Video playback is a wholly different thing, tho, because of all the encoding/decoding that keeps file size down.

    Ah yes, the programmer curve.

    If you like doing the web dev work, it's not hard to implement a simple bbcode using regex matching and replacement. At least, it was pretty easy using php and sql.

    Grav is pretty cool if you like mark down. I haven't used it for a gallery but inserting photos is easy enough

    But they should. Or at least comparable.

    Think about the difference between Reddit and Lemmy. They both offer similar functionality, but Reddit will set your phone on fire if it gets the chance.

    The same is true for YouTube. Browsing YouTube is scrolling through an image gallery, only video playback should be a problem. Yet, it will consume more resources than a well equipped laptop had when YouTube was launched. That's insane.

    We're moving in a direction where computers get faster and faster, but for the last 10 years or so, the actual utility of the system as a whole stagnated. Besides games, what can a modern computer do, that a 2014 model couldn't?

    You think it's bad now? Wait until ChatGPT is the one coding things.

    Modern hardware allows for bloat, and so bloat is made. Add in a huge helping of tracking everything you do, and you get a shit pi.

    Now repeat but also mess up the code some more.

    Behold: the true Web 3.0

    I am interested to see how people will use chatgpt along with reinforcement learning and brute force to optimise code

    You think it’s bad now? Wait until ChatGPT is the one coding things.

    I mean AI code is getting banned from tons of open source projects. I don't expect a huge AI programming boom, except for proprietary software that I won't use on my personal systems anyways
