The lack of suckless-like simple, hackable software these days is appalling.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Curious what you would define as “suck less” software? (language agnostic of course!)

@prologic@twtxt.net Ah, I’m referring to software that’s similar to that of suckless.org: Small, minimal codebases, small tools, but still useful. dmenu is probably the best example and also farbfeld.

Here’s the author of Anubis talking about some of their experiences:

(You can skip the long config and keybinds part.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So you wouldn;t consider things written in Go to be “suckless”-esque? 🤔
