Re: Opinions about keypassXC

I wasn't poking fun at anyone

"Lol, in 29 mb" sure sounds like throwing shade at keepassxc on account of installed size, and that's a reflection on the developers, no?

the cruft you mentioned out (which my app doesn't have or need)

Right, so documentation is bloat, and everyone speaks English. Got it.

What I made does the basic main task such things should do, it's tiny so there's a lot less to go wrong and it's easy to audit, and a good solid base if someone wanted to expand on it.

Sure, I never said your program wasn't good. It's not your code or your contribution I took issue with, rather the misleading comparisons you keep making.

here I am trying to do something about it and you're giving me misery too?

No, I'm giving you misery for making obviously skewed comparisons. Including translations isn't "bloat", it's basic accessibility.
Focusing on code size and/or memory footprint above all else is also rarely the whole picture, and frankly I'm tired of constantly hearing about it.

Same goes for the hair-shirt minimalism shtick in general, as popular as it appears around here. 4MiB or whatever is nothing, and translations are only loaded when needed.
Trading away features to be able to brag about how small something is is dumb, and not everyone needs or wants to compute on a turnip.
Debian/Devuan is a general-purpose distribution, running on 20 year old hardware is not and should not be the priority. There are whole distros dedicated to minimising memory and disk use.

Re: Opinions about keypassXC

Have you ever considered that greenjeans might be making those decisions in order to best serve his local community of aging, non-techie neighbors that often only have access to older, sub-par hardware? Or community service at his local Library to provide public internet access? Didn't think so. Service to others is so not your forte . . .

Re: Opinions about keypassXC

I share the same sentiments as Andre4freedom. Your contributions are always welcomed.

I also think Steve_V was incredibly rude in his responses to Greenjeans. There was no need for the putdown, let alone on someone who actually contributes code and hardly ever complains. There are a couple of others who'd warrant such treatment, but not him.

And no i'm not shoving all that QT crap into my system, GTK has issues but QT sucks too.

I can't stand GTK at all anymore, but at least it's more viable for a uniformed system. If you use Xfce, stick to GTK. If you use LXQt, stick to Qt. Mixing the two tends to draw in more system resources than not. Unfortunately, all GUI toolkit "options" are problematic in their own ways.

Re: Opinions about keypassXC

Again, no there is no putdown toward greenjeans nor his fine contributions, what I take issue with is the size comparison - the argument, not the person.
If you want to take "your comparison is disingenuous" to be some kind of general personal attack... Whatever dude. vOv
