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.

@SuperDicq @halva Can misskey's frontend even load on it?
It's painfully slow on my 2019 thinkpad.

@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.

GitHubBuild software better, togetherGitHub is where people build software. More than 150 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.
@SuperDicq @halva Oh yeah, Github's homepage is horrible, it's literally a gigantic video as a background combined with some really compute-heavy special effects done in JavaScript.
I don't even think Unity HTML5 games are as bad.

@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.
