suckless software is good and simple but im simply not autistic enough to use dwm and surf and whatever

the 'unix philosophy' was conceived back when supercomputers had 8MB of RAM and 10MHz processors, it made more sense then. our computers have gotten so powerful so fast that completely adhereing to the 'unix philosophy' just doesnt utilize the power we have at our hands

dwm blows though i tried it for a while and its keybindings are fucking bullshit

tiling window managers can fuck off, if i wanted to use a WM-only environment i'd just use openbox

go is shit and anyone who disagrees with my opinion is wrong

i don't see why anyone would want to use it

oh come on

ALSA as harmful with OSS4 as a better replacement

i used OSS4 when i was on OpenBSD and it was fucking dumb

like, setting volume on ALSA: amixer set Master 75%, or even, "amixer set Master +5%"

on OSS4 it's something like

auctl outputs.master=75,75, there's no way to increase volume by increments so if you wanted to raise by 5% you have to auctl outputs.master=80,80 (also getting device names is a bitch)

i dont care about "waah simplicity and bloat", if you wanna save 5MB of RAM you probably shouldmt have a sound system in the first place and listen to music directly from your sound card from an audio CD like a real man

i've seen it used nowhere bar hobbyists on github

back in the old days you could do this pretty easily

your computer could be hanging and thrashing and the music would still play without a problem

it only works on old fucking computers now

like the ones that had knobs and sound dials

and how the fuck is nano harmful

nano reeks of simplicity
