People like you never learn from history, that's why history repeats. You can learn a lot by looking at what happened during Ancient Roman times. Nothing has changed in 2000 years.

History repeats. We are on the verge of WW3. If you care to look, you can see the signs already. Human nature never changes. Fundamentally, nothing has changed in 80 years. You are a linear thinker, you should try and learn about the cyclical nature of the world.

History repeats, because people like you don't learn anything about history

> In NA countries if you're Asian, you're American / Canadian.

During WW2, the US government put Japanese people who were born in the US into concentration camps. So your statement is false.

Alternatively, you can listen to Jimmy Buffett's A Pirate Looks At Forty

> The thing is the LLM interfaces encourage people to write their own apps.

LLMs are simply the latest incarnation of VB6 + Clippy.

It would be like telling the computer to compress a music file containing Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, and getting back a file that contains Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up. Maybe you don't care, but I do.

Why don't you just use the transporter instead of your car?

Back in the early days of the internet, there were FAQs written about everything. You could talk to people who actually knew what they were doing, as opposed to today.

> lucky people, as soon as I learn how something works it's pretty much impossible for me to keep any interest in it

I guess that means you are still interested in pretty much everything

The Amiga also struggles with frame rates, with most games running at 30hz/25hz. There are quite a few games that have better gameplay on the Commodore 64 port than the Amiga port.

The only arcade games that use the bitmap/blitter architecture were mostly Williams games like Robotron, Joust, and so forth. Everything else was tiles/sprites, except for the Atari vector games.

I don't think a blitter is that big of a deal, especially for games. A sprite/tile architecture would be better for games.

I wish that the ST came with the YM2203, instead of the YM2149. That would make it an even better machine for music, with the addition of 3 4-op FM voices.

> This is why the default Workbench screen is 4-colour hires. It's hires to look nice and professional like an IBM, and not like a kid's toy like the Atari ST's default lowres GEM interface

The Atari ST had a professional resolution of 640x400 monochrome with a 70hz refresh rate. The Amiga had a 640x200 resolution non-interlaced, or a 640x400 interlaced which was basically a kid's toy.

Nothing beats serial programming imo

So, kind of like popular music, and good music
