@ephemeral I love thinking through how things could be different!
I do appreciate solid-state drives, & I can see the value in fully-programable GPUs... Or widespread fiber... I don't think I appreciate much else in computing since mid-2000s...
Cryptography improved, & we have CRDTs & DGGS now. But that's software!
Going back to 1980s meanwhile, I think (if your software supported that hardware) most people would probably complain about the limited memory before the limited CPU!
that's fair. It's hard to imagine what people might think in that hypothetical. Maybe 'the web' would have remained a bunch of computers tethered together at CERN and a mild curiosity for people who read encyclopaedias.
I don't think I know enough about computing to know what hasn't advanced, and I appreciate your thoughts there.
And I guess lot of the fiber that affected the day-to-day was already rolled out in the late 90s, so even that predates your timeline.
Antivaccine bullshit is most likely to be blamed.
But also, are vaccines provided for free in the U.S.? Do you have to pay for them? If so, could many of those known as working poors be unable to afford them?

sometimes you want to send 😔, and you don't mind which version is displayed. but sometimes you want to send 😔, and have it specifically be the Samsung TouchWiz 7.0 (2016) version.
no other iteration of 😔 captures the feeling of "sigh... if only my girlfriend Chiaki Nanami from Danganronpa 2 was real... then i could be her Ultimate Gamer Husband instead of studying for this lame physics exam..." quite like this one
