Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’ but it doesn’t look like that will change Microsoft’s plans. In a post on X and other places, Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.
Move to Linux while you still can (unless you are living already in California and it’s forbidden)
Linux is forbidden in California? America’s a weird fuckin place.
No, it’s not forbidden. No idea what that commenter is talking about.
It’s the age check thing that make things weird in foss
I suspect they are talking about the new California law that says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of age verification at account setup. Planned to go into effect Jan 2027.
Yup
Age verification bill is approved in California https://www.techradar.com/computing/software/californias-age-verification-law-is-proving-controversial-heres-what-you-need-to-know-and-why-some-linux-distros-are-in-the-firing-line
So yes basically the end result will be, Microsoft and Apple will implement age verification (aka ID check) on Os level. And Linux will not, meaning the state will prohibit the use of any Linux distribution that is not following their law.
not sure why people dumb down… if you don’t like it, go to your representative if you are living in the US.
It’s a free country
Stares nervously at waybar’s memory usage
It’s nowhere near the electron level, but we have bloat here as well. 62 megs to show a plain line of text, 5mb to append text to a file, 20mb to query dns, another 20 to reconnect to wifi, etc, and it adds up. I used to host sites on 32mb ram, play 3d games on 64mb ram, now even fitting just a bare terminal system on 128mb cloud slice is problematic.
