       I finally learned more about how to use the Commodore 64 and I just love this computer. Old computers were really better. Programming on them was also way less complex. Things were just easier to understand. Well that's my experience so far at least. Writing software for the Commodore 64 isn't too difficult either. I had a lot of fun with it. It's not even a computer that came out in my time, but way before I was even born. I wish computers were just fun to use again.

       @squid64 Don't computer operating system nowadays have this paradox of having layers upon layers of abstractions, making them super simple to use but very difficult to understand?

       @gratislimsa@mastodon.social that's the problem, difficult to understand. Things used to be more simple. And it really depends what you mean by easy to use. If you mean browsing the web, watching videos installing programs and things like that then yes. But when it comes to programming and understand how your system works and know your way around it, its way more difficult.
