@azonenberg@ioc.exchange @tom_verbeure@mastodon.social @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems @datenwolf@chaos.social Computing went through a mad pace of change between 1985 and 2000, from 8-bit computers to 64 bit becoming relatively affodable with Alpha chip. I went from doing BASIC on my Spectrum 48k as a kid to running multi-user systems on Intel/AMD architecture. Meanwhile, the last 15 years in user-end hasn't that much advanced. Yeah, more cores, more RAM but I've already had more than 4GB RAM on my PC in 2010, and even now that's quite OK with Linux.
