Ah yes, the surveillance state argument. Classic 🤦

Wha? That’s a dangerous mindset to teach. The last thing you want is to add network latency to every interaction or tether an app to the internet when it doesn’t really need it (but I guess big tech didn’t get the memo on that one).

Probably skill issue on my end tbh but here goes:
I’ll admit I’ve never tried GTK. I’ve always assumed it was specific to linux and used to make apps that look a certain way (like they were made for gnome) vs allowing you to make UIs the way you want to. Maybe I should look into this more.
Qt I’d say is “industry standard” but I’ve never been able to figure it out (so definitely skill issue here). It’s just that every time I’ve tried it, it’s been confusing where you’re even supposed to start. Also the last time I tried it I was a bit lost because I assume that I’m supposed to use Qt 6 (?) but it requires me to create an account because there’s a whole community/enterprise pricing thing (fair enough, nobody’s entitled to OSS work, especially not billion/trillion dollar companies). I plan to look again but that’s where I’ve been stuck so far.
I hate shipping chromium for every single app and it’s easy to fuck up a react app but there’s something to be said about cutting through the BS, just building, and having it work the same everywhere. Webapps won’t perform as well as native but they will perform well enough that it’s fine assuming the product owners give a shit.
Still learning but this has been my sentiment so far.

This makes me sad. I get using electron for cross-platform (trying to do desktop apps with decent looking UIs that work across Linux/Windows/Mac is a nightmare) but the clock that only works on windows? WPF and/or WinUI ARE RIGHT FUCKING THERE WHAT THE HELL?!

If IT guy thought they new, why not bring it up, offer consolation, maybe buy a few rounds…you know, human with empathy stuff?

Listening to Björk for the first time because of your comment.
Violently Happy was cool, but Venus as a Boy and Army of One are definitely more my speed (guessjng that’s a normie ass take).
It’s not for everyone but I feel like the only people who “hate this with a passion” only ever listen to the top 40 charts and NOTHING ELSE, which is really hard to do if you have Spotify tbh

First time listening to Violently Happy and idk what you’re on about, it’s literaly a 4 on the floor beat with occasional intentionally off-beat elements

I had to look through their profile after you said that and GOD DAMN, they posted the ones I found most memorable!

Ah, that’s completely understandable. Most people don’t realize that in a lot of companies, the decision to make the stupid feature/break your workflow comes from a suit 10 pay grades above your level and despite everyone involved trying to explain that it’s a bad idea.

Are Apple devs even contractually allowed to say that they’re Apple devs? I swear every employee from every other company won’t shut up about it on twitter but you never hear a thing from Apple people. Have I just heen missing them?
- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 2 months ago:
It’s still kinda crazy to me that a seventh gen i5 (still very capable for general use) and i7 (still a very good processor for pretty much everything) are considered “incompatible” with Windows 11.
Good thing the OS is trash though. My laptop supports it but I’ll be damned if I upgrade. Just switched to Linux as my main OS with Windows running on a separate drive for shit anticheat games I can’t quit.

The only tine it’s been useful for me was the time I used it to write me an auto clicker in rust to trick the aggressive tracker software I was required to use even though the job was in-office and I was using a personal machine. Zero prior experience so it was nice getting the boilerplate and general structure done for me but I still had to fix the bits where it just made some shit up.
Anything more than copilot auto-completion has been downright useless in my day to day where I actually know wtf I’m doing.
- Comment on What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend? 5 months ago:
The 7 Loves of Léa
Interesting French Netflix mini-series. Way better than it has any right to be considering its scale and I don’t think it’s gotten the attention it deserves.
I recommend watching in French with subtitles.

No, of course not. I was being sarcastic. I usually add a /s but this seemed obvious

The only logical approach here is to ban use the use of “Nicole” or “fediverse chick” across all instances and warn or ban anyone who upvotes posts that mention or vaguely allude to “her”.
