dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

totally agree that the logical future is a single powerful system for the house with thin clients and little baby machines for surf/browse/email/stream. most of what anyone is doing could work great on a $20 raspberry pi, but manufacturers have convinced everyone that every house needs like 3+ systems that can all do climate modeling or geospatial analysis.

if like 90% of the heavy traffic internet wasn't riddled with the latest UX complicating popups and malformed ad technology, most of the complaints of "my computer is slow" would probably vanish overnight.

It's so funny that nearly all processing headroom improvements since like the first Core 2 Duo have been eaten up by ads and shitty code from exploited programmers

Unfortunately even the default Lemmy UI is pretty heavy. A clean load of this page and the comments transferred 1.92MB on the wire (6.61 decompressed). I blame Inferno. Not because Inferno is specifically bad, but because I have been convinced that anything that is React or React-like is bad.

On Diethex it's 204kB and 217kB respectively, and that's because the OP's image is 108kB.

A comparable Reddit page https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1bja5qu/robert_de_niro_80_and_his_10months_old_daughter/ initially loads about as much as Hexbear, even including all the ad scripts, but transfers megabytes more as you load and scroll comments.

Where they super begin to differ is that one Reddit tab is currently sitting at 400MB+ RAM usage, compared to Hexbear's 140, compared to Diethex's 20**.

** I think one thing that is hard to track about page memory usage is the web browser will over-allocate to speed up page navigation and then eventually reclaim when you have mostly settled where you are. So after a few minutes it's now:
DietHex: 20MB
Hexbear: 60MB
Reddit: 160-260MB

A Reddit link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on alternative frontends that protect your privacy.

I like how Firefox prevails in every timeline

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are only two constants in every instance of the multiverse: Firefox, and pig poop balls

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

I would like to imagine there's a version of Loss in the alt timeline. Exact same art style and tone, dunked on equally as much to the point of immortal meme

[–] FiniteBanjo 1 points 1 year ago

Except for our current one because this is the bad timeline.

I want a living room sized computer in my house just to be able to log onto the hexbear bbs and post

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ideally if I could turn it on by pulling a 3 foot lever and spinning a brass wheel

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 1 year ago

Sounds like my current modded Minecraft Survival world

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can I also play UNO?

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

it comes installed on all room-sized computers

[–] jack@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

this is next year if we vote PSL

hehe

I named the imaginary computer after the Electronika 60, which is the original computer Tetris was programmed for and was rack mounted.

My garage gets to like -10 degrees in the winter. Is the politburo going to defrost my pc you fucking revisionist?

Run it harder.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

The colder it gets the more flops you can flip.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm already as hard as I can be!

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

You can put the rack wherever you want, the only thing that you can't do is move the components into a different style of case.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

your capitalist garage.

your communist garage would be well insulated.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

In communist america, whole neighborhood shares 1 garage, and every day, line forms at checkpoint

[–] Shinji_Ikari@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Man I'd love if I could have a rack mounted computer that didn't have hurricane simulators as cooling fans.

[–] HamManBad@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It comes with accepting the metric system

[–] ComradePupIvy@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

wait America adopted the metric system, this is the most unrealistic part of the whole senario

[–] absolutefuckinidiot@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Sounds like paradise to me
