You completely miss the point about sustainability and choose to argue, you go ahead.
If I were running an older computer, I would figure out how to be productive with Office 95.
Likely prediction: You will never build that Pentium III machine from old or refurbished parts. Nor will you be the type that will actually enjoy playing DOOM or anything with that machine. You'll instead keep complaining.
Sustainability, Preservation - It's a mindset. If you don't get it, you don't do it. :-)
- vel0city 3y agoQuite a rude assumption there, seeing as how I've already mentioned I have the machines and they're currently running, and I've already talked about how I do retro computing as a hobby. They're just not in the state for little kids beating on them daily. You know, from a whole preservation mindset. I've said nothing against sustainability, only pushed back against your claims that modern software is just bloat compared to what was there in the past. Often a 1/2HP motor just isn't enough oomph for what you're wanting to achieve. There's nothing innately wrong with that, and it's not just bloat. Sometimes the things you want to move are just heavy and the physics of the challenge requires more power.
