i just think stealing from someone is really funny

Based

I think the concept of owning an idea is abhorrent and that even owning the work from an idea is contentious. That and big companies leverage IP law to fuck little guys so I have no respect for them. IP shouldn't exist and so I disregard it; even when I make IP I put it under free licenses so others can fuck around with it

Also I'm stealing your work and don't care

imo it's basically more culturally correct to give people access to information, and also i want to see toddlers with unlimited internet access get brainrot day one

Information wants to be free, it's on us to make it so

I decided to rewrite vxgg in Java to see if it would reduce the load of work I'd have to do. Instead, it is really fucking slow and I'm not certain why other than "Java is slow as balls all the time"

Scanning my entire file system took about 4 seconds with the original vxgg. Scanning just my /home/ folder is taking minutes

Ok this is still true but I believe the problem is that using .get() calls on a linked list results in needing to loop through the entire list from the start instead of just continuing through pointers like stepping through a linked list in C. Maybe if I made an auto-sorted list and dealt with everything through that, removing files once they're done being scanned. That also sounds like more work than just implementing a linked list in C lol (I would basically have to overwrite every function from the linked list to make a meaningful extension)

I think my algo is running O(n^2) for its best case. No idea what the worst case is lol

Ran out of memory lmao
