HOT TAKE
FRONT END DEVELOPERS SHOULD BE BANNED FROM USING THEIR HARDWARE FOR A MONTH EACH YEAR AND INSTEAD GIVEN A LOW END 10 YEARS OLD NETBOOK
@halva@wetdry.world I am a professional software developer and I work on a Thinkpad released in 2008.
@lanodan @SuperDicq my 2015 asus x555lb starts SCREAMING the instant i open any mk instance, that fucking webapp is legit cursed
@halva@wetdry.world @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me Misskey (or Foundkey in my case) is honestly not even that bad.
Last week I wanted to create a Github account for some work related thing and the signup page (https://github.com/signup) has these moving stars in the background and it literally slowed down my entire computer to 2 FPS and I just kinda gave up. Just their signup page alone is 100 times worse than Misskey.
@halva@wetdry.world @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me My Thinkpad X200 can actually output 4k@30fps over display port using the docking station believe it or not.
I have a 4k screen at work but I force the resolution to 1600x900 to make things smoother.
@halva@wetdry.world @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me The text is too small to read on a 22 inch 4k display and I don't want wanna mess with DPI settings.
@halva@wetdry.world @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me Also I use this laptop for 3D print work.
The latest version of PrusaSlicer still supports OpenGL 2.0 which is very based of them so it works completely fine. For Blender I have to use version 2.79b. All versions of Blender 2.80+ require OpenGL 3.3 which my laptop does not support.
