As much as technologists like us wish we could prioritize efficiency and use the latest and flashiest tools all the time, that’s just not practical. When you say you want each company to have an objective set of technical requirements when choosing a toolset, you also have to have a set of practical requirements. What is the cost of friction of adding a new tech stack to the company?

Adding electron means just learning electron. Adding Tauri means learning Tauri and Rust.

It’s like the saying goes, “the best camera is the one you have with you”. It’s true with any business decision.

If I’m a company and want to bring something to production quickly, what should i choose:

1. A relatively new tool that has seen barely any production use and thus could have a bunch of unanticipated problems. Also nobody uses it so every new engineer you bring onto the project has to learn something entirely new before they can start really contributing. You also have no idea how long it will be supported by its developers into the long term future.

2. A battle hardened, production tested tool that has a huge community, has been around for a long time, and that a lot more developers already know how to use.

Sure #2 might be slower by a few fractions of a second, but if I’m in charge of the business i know which option I’m going to choose 100% of the time.

Why do you think everyone cares to optimize every single ounce of their ram memory. There is a lot more to UX than that.

I would rather an imperfect choice than none at all

User experience is not just about optimizing every little bit of your RAM consumption. They’re are plenty of other factors as well

Same thing happens to me if I were to open each of those apps as chrome tabs.

The apps you listed provide a web version also. Adding choice to the customer experience is a good thing!

Because many users often enjoy using a dedicated application than a website. Plus it gives developers access to even more customization than browsers normally provide.

If they customers didn’t like using it, companies wouldn’t keep making these apps.

Personally, I’m a techie guy but I get exhausted with the number of tabs i have open at any time. I don’t need to have more dedicated to just slack, Spotify, discord etc

Genuine question, why does it matter? Why shouldn’t a project choose a production ready method of creating cross platform compatible code to avoid duplication of efforts and cost?

The issue isnt really the color, it’s that all images and video are degraded in quality. That means android users are excluded from iphone group chats. This is a bug deal in America where iphones are incredibly popular.

I think it’s fair to be excited that people are working on ways to bridge the divide. Especially when the technical aspects of the reverse engineering is pretty cool. Not to mention the proof of concept was originally made by a high school student!

Why did you frame this data discussing Israel? Almost all of these deals were to support Ukraine’s defense via Poland.

It’s totally fair game to discuss what is in official promotional material from months ago in a diacussion thread about the game.

It’s also fair to try to avoid spoilers about the game, but if you are so spoiler averse that you don’t even want to know what was in the games advertisements, you should avoid all discussion threads about the game.

But the rich are the ones buying a lot of the art! Who will pay the artists if you eat the people with the money?

Clicking the delete button on the website just makes your browser send API calls (albeit maybe a different, private API than other scripts may use)

If this was a way mods would actually protest, wouldn’t it make sense to say who is saying it? They removed all attribution, all indication of votes, or any example of a subreddit actually doing it. Maybe I’m jaded from my many years on reddit, but I always get suspicious when I see a post like this that it could be a fake post or something.

With that said, if moderators actually did set their subs, like /r/aww to nsfw, that would be pretty funny.

Not wanting to link to reddit makes sense.

Though I would say, I would take something more seriously if a Reddit admin or a mod from a dozen subreddits said it. That would add lot more significance to a post like this. If it was from a highly upvoted post, then it’s be more likely a form of protest that reddit mods might have seen or even decide to take seriously.

When I don’t see any attribution I can’t help but think it’s just OP faking a post or just trying to get attention for themselves instead of just posting a text post to discuss the idea. Maybe I’m just jaded from my days on reddit though.

What’s up with people posting screenshots of text here? Are these screenshots of things random no name redditors are saying on reddit? Are these pictures of posts that are getting tons of upvotes or significant in any sort of way?

That’s definitely an ideal benefit of decentralization, but as the OP correctly pointed out, the reality often works out differently than the ideal.

I don’t think most customers really care about their privacy.

I’m not entirely sure Apple is way too much better. They still mine a ton of days from you, they might just not sell as much as blatantly as Google.

But what percentage of their userbase wants to use them for domains. I’m sure it was profitable, but I doubt they were making as much on that as they could elsewhere. A service making them $50 million a year might not be enough for them to decide to continue with it when they are regularly dealing with products that make hundreds of millions or even billions from. It might just not be worth the effort.
