Honestly miss that too. Back when apps were utilitarian and very few people cared about “pretty.”

We wanted fast, and as few clicks as possible.

yeah… data collection, ad space etcetc.

some of the stuff peaked in utilitarianism quite a long time ago

Very few people can name one thing Microsoft Office does now that it didn’t do in 2000.

Except all the phony homey stuff.

asks for subscriptions and has the wonderful ability to take up more disk space 🤗

Ha. Yeah, Windows is basically free and office is a subscription.

Who would’ve guessed in 2000?

You can see through the Windows for free, but you have to pay a monthly fee to enter

it’s changed from wanting you in, to wanting you out

I just bought my brother a windows license for $3 this weekend. A legit license.

I paid $2500 for visual studio back in the day too… 😭

i am rereading that last sentence time and time again..

WHAT?!

Visual Studio used to be expensive. Very expensive. It still is for some editions.

My work is paying $3400 for RAD Studio this month. Per seat. Similar product, different language.

I laugh when people cry about $100 fees for tools.

Laughs in rdp cals

Lmao. I didn’t even think about our CALs for AD, etc. 😜

Still powers the entire business world.

I always laugh at mac users in their little isolated dev bubble when they talk user usage. So cute.

70% of operating systems are windows.

Revolting. Get the pitchforks.

And most Linux users are running Android/ChromeOS.

Ahhh. That’s the sound of nerds worldwide seething.

I need to pay Microsoft to give you remote access to the server I had to pay Microsoft to license. Per seat or per device. ~$200 per

But that’s because the server has to be licensed AND the people. Otherwise they’d be strangers. 🤣

uhhhh, tools cost this much these days?!

licensing fees go brr

Yes. For almost everything except web and mobile.

You should look at licensing for Cisco products (networking).

how bad could it be… right? 🙂

We’re lucky af that the web is mostly Linux powered. That’s how bad.

ohh, it is? 🤔

didn’t know this

Something like 90% now I think. BSD makes an appearance in routers/switches.

Interesting 👀

BSD is my next frontier when I can afford to build a new machine.

I remember playing around with Linux. Would be fun to build a machine for use with BSD

Yeah. It seems nice. Played around in a few VMs. Great if you want a stable target that don’t change or break often is my read of the situation.

Doesn’t play well with cutting edge/esoteric hardware though, and my machines are an unholy union of both. 🤷
