Everyone is so angry. Isn't this the the world of ubiquitous code and unlimited resources we wanted?

Not everything needs to be super efficient. Most things are tuned for production cost and time. Efficient code isn't going anywhere. Relax guys.



I'll relax when I can get through the day without fighting some idiotic organizations excuse for a web form or attention hogging pop ups or, god help me, what else?!

We shouldn't have to put up with all this shit. That's the point.


Excellent. What, then, are you doing to make sure this shit doesn't happen?

Are you willing to pay $20 for a phone app, instead of fishing for the free version? Are you willing to pay for websites to get rid of ads? Are you willing to pay $300 for a new OS?

Alternatively, are you willing to ditch capitalism for a system that prioritizes the commons?

It's us. We are creating the incentives for a world that produces this. Unless we change that world, this is what we'll get.


I'd like it if my phone let me install my own software. That would be a pretty big step for me personally. But I'm still stuck on iOS for now.


iOS doesn't have 3rd party app markets?


Yeah, but it would be kind of nice not to have to reboot my TV every couple of weeks because of a memory leak.

I don't really know what this is supposed to mean, it sounds rather poetic and abstract, but I'm quite certain few if any people ever asked for a world where it takes 10+ seconds to open a simple email.
