#wastefulcomputing

2 posts2 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

@mook nodds in agreement

-I wish for strong #accessibility #laws that mandate shit to work on Browsers like #LynxBrowser over #Tor and explicitly ban any measurements that prevent that from working.

In fact I'd say that @torproject should explicitly set #TorBrowser's security to maximum per default and explicitly explain that there is no legitimate reason for #JS to be used!

The only innvation that JS birthed was #CryptoJacking and other #Malware that runs inside #Browsers and commits #WastefulComputing!

@sj @florenciocano #NotLegalAdvice but I still think @senficon is correct in his analysis because #copyright is way more stringent than say #patents.

Don't get me wrong, I think wannabe "#AI" is still bad as in #WastefulComputing of the #Shitcoin kind (i.e. #Bitcoin) and that the very few useful applications are overshadowed by #grifters wanting to #scam #VC's off their money.

  • So yeah, #CryptoBros ruined #Blockchain and #NFTs because before that their "virtue-signalling" that they are literally "horny for money" burned that tech for the very few use-cases where it could've been an option, and are now busy with the next #DumpsterFire aka. "AI"...
