i want smaller applications with fewer updates made by people who are paid more to produce less code and i'm not kidding

posts on mastodon can't blow up they said

mastodon has low engagement they said

@eniko looks like copying being the highest form of flattery is also possible in the fediverse https://donotsta.re/objects/67cb9b8d-ff23-4e10-8af3-f26ec1c50ac3

I want smaller programs with fewer features that take longer to write by people who are happier to do so and I’m not kidding

@pouncy_panda eh, that one's a bit different from mine so i wouldn't jump to conclusions

though even if someone copied it verbatim, in this case i'd probably just be happy to see this thought spreading further

@eniko lets see how long this takes to become a meme then
@pouncy_panda hopefully someone shops it into a video game character image
@eniko @pouncy_panda i instantly knew the perfect image for this and knew it had to be done (i used deathgenerator.com)
@maia @pouncy_panda sorry in advance about your mentions
@maia @eniko @pouncy_panda
Ooh this inspired me to meme it in this format:

@eldersea

This one is the one I like the most so far.
Well Done.

@maia @eniko @pouncy_panda

@banjofox @eldersea @maia @eniko @pouncy_panda
Wasn't that guy famously wrong?

@EndlessMason

The one in the painting?
I have no idea.

Doesn't really have any affect on how much I like that meme format.

Possibly not "famously wrong", just ...

> Freedom of Speech depicts a scene of a 1942 Arlington town meeting in which Jim Edgerton, the lone dissenter to the town selectmen's announced plans to build a new school, as the old one had burned down,[9] was accorded the floor as a matter of protocol.[10] Edgerton supported the rebuilding process but was concerned about the tax burden of the proposal, as his family farm had been ravaged by disease.[11] A memory of this scene struck Rockwell as an excellent fit for illustrating "freedom of speech", and inspired him to use his Vermont neighbors as models for the entire Four Freedoms series.[12][13]

And remove the requirement for the developers to keep changing the application once they have run out of things to improve.
@maia @eniko @pouncy_panda looking at this while my phone auto downloads updates i apparently cant opt out of, for AI apps/components that I have had switched off since I got this phone.....
@maia @eniko @pouncy_panda
Hey, so, when they do tattoos of pixel art, do they use big square needles, or do i just ask the lady to make the squares manually?
@EndlessMason @maia @pouncy_panda I don't know but maybe @GoblinHellion does
@eniko @EndlessMason @maia @pouncy_panda hahahaha this is the best question ever. Definitely ask the lady to draw them manually. If they say they have a square pixel needle they are lying to you and you should probably run away?
@maia @eniko @pouncy_panda @jalefkowit cc @foone thought you might appreciate this usage
@maia @eniko @pouncy_panda That's the second smallest application I've ever seen!
