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

I thought hooktube is dead. What happened?
October 12, 2018 - 05:21
It's not exacly dead. It's using youtube API now, cause of legal issues. It's nothing more than lightweight yt now

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

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

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?
October 12, 2018 - 09:09
>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?
October 12, 2018 - 12:57
I don't have a special diet. Diets are a meme.
October 12, 2018 - 13:20
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.
October 12, 2018 - 14:11
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.

October 12, 2018 - 19:09
>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
October 12, 2018 - 19:31
This. The 20MB that you get on an SDF home directory should be more than enough for the truly minimal.
October 12, 2018 - 19:43
redpill me on free shell accounts what do you use it for and where can I get one
October 12, 2018 - 19:55
Is Bodhi Linux or Bunsen Labs too bloated?
October 12, 2018 - 20:03
>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. >where can I get one sdf.org

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.

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?

October 13, 2018 - 03:26
when they do something useful for once besides being special snowflake trannies.
October 13, 2018 - 03:45
Can I suck on your nipples?
October 13, 2018 - 03:48
Plan9 was supposed to be the successor to Unix, by the same creators. It never took off though.
