Minimalism is not a lack of something. It's simply the perfect amount of something.

I thought hooktube is dead. What happened?

It's not exacly dead. It's using youtube API now, cause of legal issues. It's nothing more than lightweight yt now

fag

Gay

could be cool
how does this relate to storage tho

They joined those whomst'd they were fighting. Typical "cuck" move.

what is your diet?

OP here. Mostly dicks from many different sizes.

Where is the pretty girl you gay bastard

If your PS1 is anything besides $: or maybe just your first initial (also using either csh or ksh) then you're not minimal.

30 Gallons of semen mixed with Trenbolone.

one cannot develop proper software with those text editors

Imagine what kind of person starts a thread for or discussing software minimalism on Jow Forums Technology board with a picture like this.

>not mpv

You guys are like children.

>systemd
>minimal

Minimal on both software and bodyfat. I'd say it's appropriate.

>GOSAD

suckless is comfy. i plan to switch to surf from firefox

muscles aren't minimal.
fats are, because fats are lighter than muscles.
but most minimal approach is to just not eat.
p.s. get better hardware, fags

DWM is so dumb. Why would I use tiles without directional keyboard navigation?

>still listing Gentoo as minimal

It's quite literally the most bloated distribution you can possibly use.

Fucking every time.

You don't have to tell everybody how many packages you've got? How the fuck? What's wrong with you?

Is that shoe0nhead?

I don't have a special diet. Diets are a meme.

Is Xmonad /minimalistic/? It had no decorations, so it looks the part, but configuration requires installing GHC which weighs in at more than a GB.

*has

Most minimal software is no software

Anything besides TTY is bloat.

You're only REALLY minimal if you can replace your computer with a terminal and a connection to a free shell account.

This is Jow Forums, you don't need to do a Jow Forums or /hm/

whoever made that picture knows nothing about templeos

Be honest with me bros
chromium is more minimal that firefox quantum
true or false?

>all these people going HAHA FAG over the girl asking for more photos
you realize that's a chick right
actual gay men require SOME degree of bodyfat. disgusting lmao

>1.42 MB

This. The 20MB that you get on an SDF home directory should be more than enough for the truly minimal.

redpill me on free shell accounts
what do you use it for and where can I get one

Is Bodhi Linux or Bunsen Labs too bloated?

>what do you use it for
These days? MUDs, mainly. Back in the day it would be a good place to use UNIX-like utilities without taking a gamble with the sketchy hardware compatibility. I used PuTTY and did most of my college work on it back in the day.

I think not, but with browsers we are fucked anyway because almost everybody install addons or needs javascript so pick your poison. Although Uzbl is doing good with minimalism.

Ayyy

I'm thinking about implementing an Omni search function in C or C++. How would I implement fast searching of local files, programs, and web searches?

>rosetta stone
oh no

>fast searching of local files
some sort of filesystem database, like updatedb/locate
>and web searches
the google botnet

come at me

Nope.

Year of the plan9 desktop when?

when they do something useful for once besides being special snowflake trannies.

Can I suck on your nipples?

is that an unix system

Plan9 was supposed to be the successor to Unix, by the same creators. It never took off though.

Who is this sexy guy with shit ab insertions

>shit ab insertions
I honestly thought he just had deformed ribs.
