    Why put in a little effort when we can just waste a gigabyte of your hard drive instead?

    I have similar feelings about how every website is now a JavaScript application.

      Yeah, my time is way more valuable than a gigabyte of drive space. In what world is anyone’s not today?

          I’ve got you beat. 32gb emmc laptop.

          I need every last mb on this thing. It’s kind of nice because I literally cannot have bloat, so I clear out folders before I forget where things went. I only really use it for the internets and to ssh into my servers, but it’s also where I usually make my bootable USB drives, so I’ll need 2-5 gb free for whichever ISO I want to try out. I really detest the idea of downloading to one USB, then dd-ing that to another. I should probably start using ventoy or something, but I guess I’m old school stubborn.

          I tried using flatpak and docker, but it’s just not gonna happen.

              Don’t you get it? We’ve saved time and added some reliability to the software! It. Sure it takes 3-5x the resources it needs and costs everyone else money - WE saved time and can say it’s reliable. /S
