§2025-03-27 18:43 on current software as something substractive
in the past, whenever one
would want to be able to do
something more with their
machine, they would have to
get the software to do it.
now, with all of the pre-installed
/featureful software that there
is, they either have to dig to what
they already have or, more likely,
don't want to do anything new
because of their overwhelmedness
are too whelmed to even
want to do something new.
software went from an additive model to a substractive one:
„get what you want“
got replaced by
„get rid of what you don't want“.
this is noticeable through all
of the O.S. unbloaters and the
minimalistic alternatives to
mainstream solutions.
