DuckDuckGo has been giving me poor results lately - especially when I look for news, everything is a redirect to Bing now - so I instead use Brave Search. It’s kind of disappointing since DDG had always worked great for me

Yea they are so weird and annoying

So, why is electron a bad idea?

People don’t become like this,

If only they released it for PCs as well

“P-please be gentle, Xbox-kun”

“Don’t worry, PS-chan” he caressed her cheek “it will be fine. I love you.”

“I love you too…” she softly whispered, letting a loud squeak go a moment later — her cheekbones blushing of a gentle, celestial blue

— Fuck you for making me think about this cursed crap

that would change nothing to you. Unless they are seriously consuming a lot of memory and filling up processes while not needed, then it’s fine. Otherwise it means the app was developed by a bunch of monkey, but that could happen - maybe even more likely - with native software as well.

Tldr: to the end user it changes literally nothing nowadays, to the companies and the devs it changes quite a lot. And to some degree, end-users won’t have to deal with shitty ugly apps (unless the designers are jerks, in which case you are probably working in the same company as me)

Your kernel allocates all the ram anyway lol, it literally changes nothing to you

I use both daily, never noticed a problem. MacBook Pro M1 with 8GB ram. Eight!

Making a normal app costs much more than making an electron app, so I press X

Have you ever had, in good conscience, a problem caused by an electron app using too much resources?

Because we are, again, in 2023: the standard is 16GB of RAM, with CPUs much more powerful and with a lot of more cores and thread per cores than the past. Complaining about a PC resources being used when these doesn’t actually create a problem is like complaining about GUI being bloat; or JS/CSS being bloat.

This of course doesn’t mean electron is perfect, cause it clearly isn’t, but it’s a good enough solution that can be iterated upon (see Tauri) and improved (the DX on electron is shit). Nor that every app should be in electron.

lmao, yea. Besides, it’s not like electron is that bad either. We aren’t in 1990, why would you care if electron uses a gb of ram or ten processes or this or that… they think that native means good, but more often than not native means a shitty ugly unusable application that will work (not really) just on windows

It’s technically still an exclusive if you consider windows IS Microsoft. That is, it will run on Linux obviously

I don’t think I ever heard of a case where somebody has been condemned for piracy in Italy; I also know plenty of people who torrents/stream, yet none who uses a VPN to do so.

In Germany though, afaik, they are quite insane with their anti-piracy laws.

Friedrick Stein Braun, who is a _C_ERN agent who wants to get the microwave Time Machine. Checkmate, Stalin!

Yeah, Netflix is trash rn: too expensive and the OC are garbage.

About the foundation, I love the book serie so I will watch it today!

What good show did Apple produce?

It’s a VM software

Keeps things intact. Try Parallels (I use it at work and it’s not free, but I’m pretty sure there are some great free alternatives)

Yes it does
