@cstross@wandering.shop Hey, some people actually WANT cloud compute powered pretty things with constantly spinning color wheels that can only open one ad filled tab at a time. I don't know any of them personally, but I'm told they exist. They probably just go to a different high school. In Canada or something. @Phosphenes@mastodon.social

@cstross@wandering.shop @phpete@mastodon.coffee @Phosphenes@mastodon.social The bit that boggled me at the time was when it demanded a brand new SM3 GPU to do a bit of transparency and a 3D task switcher. Meanwhile Beryl/Compiz Fusion could do all manner of wild 3D desktop things on a 7 year old Geforce 2.
