you would think so, but somehow that never seems to be the case in practice. software has just been getting way more simplified visually while also getting way heavier with the likes of electron, GTK4, QML, etc.

for example, gnome-calculator uses nearly 300 MB of RAM on my system. that’s significantly more memory than my entire desktop environment (trinity). in the '00s everything was plastered with glossy skeuomorphic textures, 3D animations, transparency with blur, etc. and running all these different glossy programs together on one system still left you with a smaller memory footprint than gnome’s calculator.

we are fucked and our UIs don’t even get to be pretty anymore.

The next generations are going to suffer tremendously for the loss of American culture, science, industry, and empire.

fucking insane the way you ghouls say this kinda shit so openly. your beloved “empire” falling would be a net positive for the world and the future generations that would be exploited, raped, and bombed by the US

as for “american culture”, the only real example of that was native american culture and the US destroyed that too.
