I’m confused about what this saying, is it about warcrime waifus but with Soviet aesthetics, or are they saying Windows and computers in general wouldn’t have changed to be so bloated and anti-user, or…?
Pretty sure it’s implying that if the Soviets won the Cold War, technological innovation would’ve been so limited by ebul socialist interference in the market that we’d only reach the late 90’s level of computer “advancement” in our timeline in the 2020’s in the Soviet timeline.
I’m old enough to have used Windows 95. I think if people could go back and try it out they’d realize how very little operating systems have changed in 30 years.
Yeah the big improvement in desktop computers and laptops in the last ~20 years has been hardware: more ram, more storage, better displays faster chips, better connections. The commercial OS’s the last twenty years have had more patronizing enshittification than true improvements.
Ah yes, “progress” is when you have to learn microsoft’s new single-platform GUI toolkit every 5 years, and the latest one is just a website pretending to be an application.

I think they just like 90s aesthetic and anime and put it in their project.
Unironically objectively better.
Right? I don’t see any ads in this picture.
