1 2022-03-06 07:36

It's time to remove the CSS bloat from SchemeBBS. There's no need for CSS.

Do not edit these.

That should be the default. Show off the true beauty of plain HTML, do not hide behind the bloat and ugliness of CSS impurities. The CSS virus should be exterminated.

Your web browser should have a feature to disable its CSS rendering function.

no, don't do it.

But but the honey pot areas...

Get rid of the honeypot form fields. They are part of the bloat on the website, and an eyesore too.

But they do work!

Just use the elisp client.

No faithful user of ed is going to use the bloated junk Emacs just for the Emacs Lisp client.

Where you think you are? Install Emacs, Edwin, Hemlock or Micro GNU/emacs (mg).

Did you know that there's more than 1000 lines of CSS in the SchemeBBS repository? SchemeBBS is so bloated.

Emacs is not specified by POSIX.
I only want to use standard tools such as ed and vi, not a non-standard bloated junk like emacs.

Eight
Megabytes
And
Constantly
Swapping

Why in the world does Emacs take up more than 8 MILLION bytes of memory just to edit a little bit of text? Simply unimaginable.

muh bloat

You should instead think about correctness and whether the program actually does the things it should. Of course, wasting resources without a reason is bad.

Meanwhile me, launching Kate...

21 2022-05-28 09:17

Where are you launching Kate to?

22 2022-05-29 01:14

to these dubz

Where are you launching Kate to?

We are launching Kate into space in vain hope that it might land on a large exoplanet, since Kate is projected to become so bloated that we might not be able to accommodate it along with Emacs, which has already consumed half of our planetary resources.

Please send this important message to the maintainers of MIT Scheme.
You should also add a short paragraph about the benefits of regression testing.
