Sounds like what these idiots did during Jan6.

All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.

It might take a while, but we will get you all.

Sounds like whoever decides these things knows nothing about IT.

I guess as a user I just don’t want all my apps to open a tab in my browser. I want to move apps between virtual desktops and monitors independently and I don’t want my app’s window to be clattered by all the menus from my browser.

All this is already possible with most browsers.

All major browsers can do this - with the exception of running something in the background I guess. But that is exactly the sort of usage scenario where an Electron app is the worst choice. Coding a separate utility with no GUI would be the sane thing to do here, not put whole browser stacks into memory.

It’s because people want cross-platform apps and web is the easiest way to do it.

Just use the website then? There already is a suitable browser installed on every system. But no, must have apps. Makes it easier to stop people from having opinions about data collection and such. And the full browser stack needs to be fully reproduced each time. It gets really ridiculous when these apps sit idly in the notification area. Not to speak of security implications because electron apps and such usually don’t get timely updates.

No, Razer, your “mouse driver” does not need to load Chrome at all times, when I’ll only ever look at it once.

It’s funny; on Linux such devices work perfectly but many users complain that they “aren’t supported” because there’s no UI (that sits uselessly in your notification area and eats memory).

If AI is truly an intelligence

And as of 2025 and the foreseeable future, that is where that argument ends.

I am not a Luddite.

doG, I can so relate to this.

The opposition (politically or socially, conversationally) will always try to put you in the extreme opposite corner of whatever they oppose about you. Be it “socialist dreamer” instead of real market economy with social policy, or this. What happened to meeting in the middle? It seems online polarization has made it into our everyday minds.

I didn’t! Had to look up online compass that had degrees on it.

But it doesn’t surprise me that any company’s PR guys would come up with things like that.

got a working gentoo install running

Hat off! I gave up way before that.

FWIW, I recently watched a debunk of a creationist video and they complained about the same thing, while showing footage of one of the few real skeletons 🤦

Dinosaurs were real. We find their bones all the time. You can imagine that they’re not in pristine condition, considering their age. We classify them and mull over them together. We build reconstructions. Some contain mainly real bones. Others don’t. They are still of educational value.

How about 225° airlines?

Doubleplusgood

Why do we have 2 separate words for good and bad? Good and ungood are totally sufficient.

(reference)

Hooked me. But the video is 75% stock footage, an anodine female voice and light jazz.

Comedy Of Errors

A beautiful euphemism. We could apply it to all of the USA’s current admin and its activities.

healthy

* not sick yet

Everybody gets sick evtl. and if health care isn’t available chances are it won’t get better or it’ll leave permanent marks.

AMD marches “against Intel”? Is there some sort of confrontation going on between the 2? Or does this just mean AMD makes good processors and sells better?

They got what they paid for I guess.

Wait, did reddit make a deal with Google for data mining?
