new guideline for software bloat: the demo version should be downloadable in under an hour on a dialup connection (~20MB) and the full version should fit on a CD-ROM (~650MB) together with all the documentation, sample content, and demos for a selection of other products
‪fun fact: despite me not having put much effort into size optimisation, touchHLE passes this. on the other hand, every Electron app fails‬
‪honestly i'm not even joking here, these are reasonable guidelines. if the full version of a piece of software that isn't like, a game, demands more than a gigabyte of disk space then something is seriously wrong, and few things should need even a tenth of that‬
‪maybe the way to feel like you have a powerful computer is to only use software from back when cpu speed, memory and disk space were treated as precious. (slaps lid of macbook with 8GB ram and 512GB ssd) this bad boy can fit sooo many serious 1990's productivity apps in it‬
