I think spotify / discord / vscode (and derivatives) / slack are probably the most installed electron apps.

A lot of pretty popular packages in those lists are electron apps, unfortunately
“On next week’s episode of whycombinator”
Obligatory Carl Sagan from 1995:
I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance

that’s the issue. the grim reaper is just edging himself. it’s up to him when he’s finished
Because the party of small government is in power, duh
They’re made to “Enhance the user experience profit”
“Enhance the user experience” is just what the dev or documentation team writes when management dictates that they drop a feature. The only reasons they would have dropped it:
Every decision is about increasing profits first, and UX almost always takes a back seat to that
“You worked really hard this year. 60 hour weeks. Impressive but you can do more. See that rolls Royce in the parking lot? If you work 80 hour weeks next year and everything works out, I’ll be able to buy a second one.”

Honestly I have to begrudgingly dual boot windows a few times a month to use certain software for freelancing work, so I bought an enterprise windows 11 key from a grey market vendor for like 12 bucks and then used group policy to disable copilot everywhere it was possible
One reason this sucks so much is people say shit like this at crypto conferences and mean it as a compliment
“If 10 people are sitting at a table being civil to 1 nazi, there are 11 nazis at the table.” or however the quote goes
“Do you take your spouse until the end of time? As your final relationship? Your final fantasy?”
Yep. As always: Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst.
Yeah especially because they tend to add new features and enable them by default. I dislike having to use windows, but powertoys is where actual UX and power user improvements happen, so it’s a must. But like if “auto dark mode” was turned on globally there would be people shooting their computers for being dark on their property
Wonder if you specify to use en dashes instead if it just collapses and the simulation resets
Trump goes BALLISTIC and ERUPTS as he is SLAMMED from behind by dems
It sucks knowing we’re probably past the age of non-sensationalist headlines
The GG could only go about five, if you were lucky, on six AA
Which, while of course requiring exponentially more power, the Switch 2 only goes for about 6 hours on less demanding games, funny how battery life hasn’t really changed much for advanced handhelds.
Remember, if you’re brown and get accused of doing that, fat dudes pretending to be tactical black bag you. If you’re a rich celebrity and literally do that, people just laugh and it’s ok
