definitely the case for Valve. Corporate vultures will be all over it the second he's gone.

nah, it's basically my experience with flatpak and snaps on ANY distro on ANY machine. the fact that everyone's moving to this crap is beyond me. Am I the only person on the planet that expects a modern computer to run snappier than a PC from early 2000? sure seems like it sometimes, especially when pretty much any software released since 2018 runs electron. Hell, now every manufacturer is moving to ARM like it's some revolutionary hardware - no, it just vastly improved energy usage AT THE EXPENSE OF PERFORMANCE. we might as well stick with what we have and just pump less energy into the damn thing and have the exact same results.
blimey.
I get the convenience; I do ...but it can't possibly be worth the sacrifices?? sigh.
the day of coders who knew what they were doing is long since gone. now it's just click and play frameworks to pump out garbage and oversaturate the ecosystem.
yes. they're "censoring" algorithms designed to create engagement=profit, which are causing massive harm to society. i don't see anything wrong with it at all. and like you, i'm on the fediverse because there isn't an algorithm, our exposure is curated by us, not by engagement-bot-5.
.se mirror still up and working. looks like it was just a DMCA on the main domains.
what's wrong with MX? isn't it basically just debian stable but with xfce as default?
this wasn't a problem with cashless infrastructure tho, this was a problem with monoculture. if the globe stopped using microsoft for gov and business, and instead threw their tax money towards open development; as in - the people, not microsoft, these kind of global issues wouldn't exist.
sounds like they rather spend that RND on pocket lining over contributing to software dev.
The law must apply to all, including public servants. As they are beholden to the public, they are subject to review and FOIA requests are automatically granted for the content.
Now I'm suddenly not so against this law. Journalists paradise. They'll have a field day!
using cinnamon. and yeah base software is largely fine. but non-base productivity apps are largely built in electron. cinnamon even offers a webapp tool so in some cases i can at least avoid it.
people who like fast apps should care because like 99% of current software developers are building electron apps instead of giving us something that actually lets your high end computer behave like a high end computer.
the only modern chat application that doesn't run electron today is Telegram.
the only cloud note taking app that doesn't run electron is ...uh. doesn't even exist.
the only...
i can't even think of something i use that was released after 2016 on my computer that doesn't run at a crawl because of electron. fuck electron.
they charge $3 per month for 10GB of storage
