You wouldn’t run a website because a website doesn’t have the capabilities of a desktop app. No one wants to run VS code from their browser. People don’t even want to run outlook or teams from their browser. A desktop app results in far superior UX in most cases for tools that people need to use frequently.

Electron allows you to use existing webdev teams to build apps for basically every platform in existence, which is exactly why companies use it.

Alternative platforms exist but not every company has the right people to build on top of them and it’s difficult to argue against the cost savings of using electron.

It’s not really that complicated. Many of these apps simply wouldn’t exist on Linux or Mac if it weren’t for electron or similar frameworks. Companies might build a website (if it makes sense) and a Windows app and that’s it, depending on the target audience

And yes, you might get vibe bloat in the framework code but that isn’t an argument against electron, since literally any framework could be and probably is infected with AI bloat at this point.

Electron isn’t a problem when it’s used well, eg VS Code. At least you know what you’re getting.

You have no idea what the code is doing is when some numbnut vibe codes it without a thorough review.

This is what I was going to say. I actually don’t care whether we impeach or not (unless we know we have the votes). But we do have a better chance now after a huge wave election. This is a big wakeup call to the GOP. their thugs in purple or purple leaning states are gonna be looking for ways to distance themselves from Trump

They will if you get off your butt and hold your Dem reps accountable instead of whining on Reddit.

It wasn’t conspiracy shit, asshat. The comment I replied to was acting like people commit murder-suicide attacks for logical reasons and such a thing couldn’t possibly happen. I pointed out that they can and do happen. And I even mentioned the ATC audio in my comment.

This whole thread is full of irrational morons who can’t read. Why can’t you just wait for the investigation before confidently declaring you know exactly what happened? I’m the only one here saying we don’t know, y’all are the ones pretending to be experts and spreading pet theories about it.

I mean it’s happened before with SilkAir, GermanWings, and that Air China flight a couple years ago so let’s not act like it’s impossible. I seriously doubt it’s the case here though, since we know they flew into a thunderstorm and we have the ATC audio.

You can barely see the left wing in that picture because there’s so much blurring. I can’t see how you can be so confident about it. Or why are people are so inclined to spread rumors about the root cause of an accident when that isn’t their job.

I’m just saying we should wait for the actual investigation before declaring we know what happened. But apparently that warrants a deletion?

Um ok? Why the fuck are you so aggressive about it? Are you an NTSB investigator or just a guy declaring facts because you saw pics on the internet? Hypocritical asshole

I haven’t seen any proof the stabilizer ripped off. The video is too blurry to be definitive. But the control surfaces were at least frozen

Do you think you’re the only person impacted by the economy and lack of social services? Lmao.

Look at how many people are about to lose medicaid because asshats like you sat out the last election.

Half the people bashing Americans from Europe live in a country with the far right alteady in power. They just don’t like it when the fascists target them instead of brown people.

It’s not maybe, it’s definitely.

This has been happening ever since I can remember and I’m 40. Paper ballots need to be mandatory in all states and the vote counting software should be open source.

It’s fucking insane that we allow private companies to hide their code from us.

The initial claim was that thin clients are the “default” for large companies, and yes we can confidently say that’s bullshit.

I’m not surprised that healthcare could be an exception, given all the pii that is dealt with there. But thin clients are not the default at most companies.

It’s insane how people can’t just admit they they’re blatantly wrong about something and instead play this gaslighting game where they pretend something is unknowable.

The global size of the thin client market is less than $3 billion. Do you honestly believe that covers most “large corporations” on the planet? I guarantee you that employers with thin clients as the default workstation aren’t just a minority, they’re a niche market. https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/articles/thin-clients-global-strategic-business-103200706.html

The default? I’ve never worked for a corporation with thin clients as the main workstation for employees. The only place I worked at with thin clients was a federal government office.

Can’t believe this nonsense has so many updoots.

It’s just bad design. What happens when/if the fediverse scales up to many more instances?

We’re just showing everyone else how gay it looks.

Or she’s just razzing him a bit. Crazy what a bunch of soft whiny crybabies men are these days.
