we sacrifice control, stability, and simplicity of our software for the sake of performance. for a corporation operating at scale, performance matters. whoever can deliver the most calculations for the least amount of money wins. for most users, this is not the case. if you aren't playing the latest games, you have so many cycles to spare. there have been several projects--like QNX, or Wirth's "Project Oberon"--that achieve solid functionality with a fraction of the code. why does this matter? jeets and trannies. armies of them. more code = more programmers, more bugs, more vulnerabilities, more revenue for your enemies, more places to hide things they fuck you over with. we need to simplify. linux is not simple. BSD is not simple. windows is not simple. suckless is on the right track, but they are a voice in the wilderness.
