Why has tech stagnantted so much?

>>106545366 (OP)
German looks so archaic.

>>106545562
Also no, tech didn't stagnate.

>>106545571
It regressed.

>>106545366 (OP)
Oh look another thread whining about technology. Go away.

>>106545366 (OP)
Software developers in the consumer space took increased hardware overhead as license to get sloppier instead of push boundaries.

>>106545366 (OP)
Windows 98 ui/ux was shit though, KDE and GNOME were better

I can't believe Windows still looks like that in [current year]! Things have really stagnated!

>>106545663
Absolutely true but that's due to "democratization" of software development so even people on the left side of the bell curve can "contribute" along with the "move fast and break things" management philosophy that priorities cranking out crap rapidly over building anything of quality.
Back in the 80s, a programmer wrote a Chess game, complete with a decent AI, in 672 bytes. Not 672 megs or even 672K, 672 bytes. If developers of that level still exist, they're unappreciated and stuck in a corner somewhere working on CSS bugs in some rando company's website.
Decent to excellent software development can happen but it requires strict controls over who gets to do the development, dedication to isolating them from bike shedding bosses, and a willingness to be patient. MBAbros believe first mover advantage trumps everything so that last part ends up being nearly impossible.

It hasn't, you're just a luddite, most likely a low IQ white who can't keep up in a fast ever changing modern world and desperately wants to check out of society, similar to elves as they went extinct and insane from old age and being tired of competing with hung young men.

Your skin is the colour of poo, I'd be mad too if mine were. Go back.

90's guis were peak. guis fell off in the 00's and never recovered

Kill yourself.

>why can't we be driving cars at 20,000km/h?

>>106546085
Huh?

Reading this thread made me sick, the internet is dead.

>>106548536
Someone said a few years ago "if cars advanced as quickly as computers, we'd be driving at 20,000km/h now."
I hope he was pointing out that infinite (or even long-term) asymptotic growth is impossible, as it's a great example.

>>106548604
Honestly it's not tech itself that's stagnated, it's more like the software itself that's gotten worse as tech's gotten better.

>>106545753
LMAO

>>106545638
Oh look, another midwit loyal to the corporate cartels who doesn't know shit about science or technology.

>>106549898
go back to redddit "anarchrist"

>>106545366 (OP)
I don't know, probably lack of competition. But then Google is competition and their offering is just crap.
