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

Public

@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.

@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.
