Poor Computers
I wanted to write this as I was actually setting up the revamped version of the kiyomizu psobb site, and while doing so I did it in a way I had to jump across 2 platforms, return to the year 2005 and come back again to 2025 to finish setting everything up.
I will write more about it in the following post, but I just wanted to say one thing.... Windows XP saved the day (once again), and why is that?
How much computer do you really need for your tasks? and how horrible and sluggish computers are turning out to be, for office work, for gaming, all while at the same time the user experience while using the devices is NOT IMPROVING whatsoever.
If anything using a computer nowadays is more limiting and more difficult than using one 20+ years ago!!!!!
What happened to all of us?? are we insane????? Right now to have some sort of basic office functionality you have to pay an incredible beefy subscription of Microsoft 365 just to have Word and Excel?
What about photo editing? Are you ready to sell your soul to Adobe for a whole year or face paying a costly fine if you bail out?????
The only thing that did changed is that now most of these functions are achieved via webapps, but I really doubt about their usefulness, do you really REALLY think you gonna do PivotTables and Macros on Excel Web or Google Sheets???
My only solace is to ask some AI about all this problems and expect a solution!!! but why!?!?
I'm really just asking these questions in a very ironic way, the real culprit of this is the real one affecting absolutely everything else in our daily life,
You will live in a walled garden using applications that are poor copycats of more complete software packages with an 'improved modern' UI (rounded corners) (FFS) that are created by a mixture of activitsts 'programmers' and indians using AI prompts to do the code grunt.
What do you expect? performance? Size?
NO!!!! GOD DAMMIT!!!! ITS OVER!!!
