gollark: I've heard that QWERTY was designed to slow you down and I don't think it's true.
gollark: Not ready how?
gollark: I mean, if my laptop gets hacked or something, people can at least not irreversibly overwrite my brain, only... delete my notes and stuff.
gollark: I'm pretty scared of brain implants because they would probably involve computer systems of some kind with read/write access to my brain. And computers/software seem to have more !!FUN!! security problems every day.
gollark: Personally, I blame websites and the increasingly convoluted web standards for browser performance issues. Websites with a few tens of kilobytes of contents to a page often pull in megabytes of giant CSS and JS libraries for no good reason, and browsers are regularly expected to do a lot of extremely complex things. With Unicode even text rendering is very hard.
