as processors get faster we expect our computers to run smoother and react more rapidly to inputs, but this does not happen

many wiki articles and computer janitors attempt to explain this via feature creep and inefficient code bloating software so much it does not work perceptibly faster

however that is not the answer, as recent masterpieces of efficient programming such as microsoft windows xp media center and microsoft edge show. these programs intentionally play slow animations after user input, suggesting designers put them in to simulate heavy resource use and scam idiotic consumers into thinking their computer is hard at work

as a power user i find this offensive and demand that all modern software perform actual computing intensive tasks after each button click, eg mining craptocurrencies or calculating already-known prime numbers

hey op, the problem is a thing called javascript. javascript is a very bad computer language created by idiots for idiots and the only thing it does is make your computer really slow.

the inefficiency of a developer's code correlates to the hardware they are developing on (or for)

thus since we are now in a time where hardware is really fast, most of that speed will be used to render cool-looking UI hourglasses instead of coming to the realisation that uhh maybe we actually do not need them anymore

you should install windows 98 the 98 means that it uses 98% of the performance of ur computer

so what you’re saying is computers have turned communist and/or into military contractors, wasting resources to justify spending resources on unproductive processes purely so they continue existing

(think of all the poor UI designers efficiency would put on the street!)

It breaks too much stuff to just disable it globally now and it's probably too much of a pain to enable it for every site.

I don't have to imagine that. I lived it 40 hours a week until I liberated a stick of ram from the computer of someone who retired and it's mostly functional with 8 gb

it would probably take me more than five minutes to figure out what any of that means on top of learning new things when i'm over 30, so that's a real hard sell there.
