You do realize i make 150k a year and use suckless software, right?

nice larp, neckbeard

mksh is basically a continuation of OpenBSD's pdksh with some tweaks that the MirBSD developers wanted a long time ago. Those changes were submitted to OpenBSD, and the OpenBSD devs called the code shit and their ideas stupid.
pdksh, standard in OpenBSD is the public domain korn shell, basically ksh with some additional features.
What is wrong with autistic fuckers? Minimalism is really the lack of something because managing everything from the terminal is a pain in the ass. You're just as bad as archfags: modern hardware can support your needs, you don't have to bend over backwards for your computer.

This is true. Checked The more ram you have, the more botnets the hacker can run in the backround.
Javascript is a botnet
Camden Smith
should i switch from i3 to something like bspwm or dwm?
Blake Miller
> the more botnets the google can run
Josiah Hall
I guess mksh is good for linux pdksh is an openbsd thing
Minimalism is an aesthetic that less-disciplined programmers believe will give their program these magic benefits for aesthetic reasons. But none of the things you claim it will do for your program can you actually prove that it will do for your program and at the end of the day you're just putting extra work into making it LOOK smaller and cleaner.

Speaking of kornshell tell me why the fucking default shell for my work solaris computers is CSH but all the triggers required for clearcase and clearquest have to be run with SH
i feel like im taking crazy pills here.
Gabriel Barnes
C is a terrible language for software minimalism
Evan Hughes
pills are bloat drugs are bloat don't do drugs (bloat)
Parker Phillips
Truth. Forth is true minimalism.

>finally find a just werks distro i like, can easily install on my array of thinkpads, and has what i need for work >3k packages and counting i've sinned and i'm sorry
Agreed. FORTH would be a much better idea. If I were rich, I'd get AMD's semicustom division to get me a Zen core that, instead of x86 to Zen microcode, it'd take FORTH and turn it into Zen, and build an OS from the ground up similar to the Lisp machines of old.

dwm is the comfiest shit ever. Switched from i3, will never switch back.
Kind of user but you should not care. Minimalism threads are only interesting to me because I like the suckless and catv folk's software.
Ryder Young
tell the user the truth. it is BLOAT
Charles Wilson
Nice dubsdubsdubs
Chase Hughes
St has very high latency, requires you to recompile just to configure and doesn't even have scrolling, what's there to like about it?
David Watson
Xorg is bloated. Use a wayland compositor.
Grayson Flores
Software minimalism in the spectrum of autism.
Elijah Turner
Sell me on dwm. I use i3 currently, what does it have that justifies switching
Thomas Cruz
stick with dwm because it's super slim and stable, and I realized I just don't need all the features that i3 has. Limiting myself to the core features of dwm has actually improved my workflow (I think). Plus, I also already use st, dmenu, and slock, so using dwm just sort of feels right.
