> basically every linux software needs hundreds of packages to downloaded separately from internet, as they are created by scripters who randomly using external libraries to even perform an rgb to bgr conversion, and not real programmers who have a clue about writing programs. the newest kde needs 30 seconds to bring up the start menu on my 1,6 ghz atom netbook.
Had a chuckle here. I have to agree we’ve become complacent with our hardware making up for our software.
> i originally planned x86, but i realized how bad it is - after all, current x86 is the result of approx 30+ years of work of 1 million hardware developer, all added his own poop into it to have a cpu. some idiot waked up at morning, and decided to add a MOV with his very own shitty prefixes and various different encodings. another idiot waked up at morning, and decided to add a floating point instruction which adds integers to floating point, and stores the results in a floating point register. another idiot waken up, and decided to add an opcode for adding 4 numbers simultanously. 1500 idiot waken up, added his own opcode, various memory addressing modes, and todays x86 has been born, with one billion transistors minimum just to have an operating system boot.
This man is hilarious
