This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Well, to see the bright side: Perhaps this will force developers to at least think about optimizing their software...
Lol, they're gonna make it SaaS and move it to the cloud before that happens.
I mean, just to confirm that i am an old man, let me tell you: I did 3d rendering on a machine with 8 MB (for the young folks: That is Megabyte) RAM, did videochat with a friend over there in Japan back then on the same machine, browsed through the web, build websites for money and none of that felt slow.
I started with 32MB, and I agree (aside from browsing the internet and having to wait for an image to load). I never get tired of linking to this blog post, which captures my feelings perfectly.
This is excellent and captures my feelings exactly as well!
Nope. They will just shift blame to something else.
Hello $user,
Memoryleak™ 4.20 has minimum system requirements that includes 32Gb of memory.
Hope this helps
Go fuck yourself, Memoryleak™ support team
Or shift the processing to the cloud, we are going back to mainframe computing
Modern Devs: "8 Gb??? That's 2 chrome tabs!"
I mean devs themselves aren’t the ones saying no. It’s product and sales people saying “we need this now fuck performance. Performance doesn’t move money metrics”
