Electron is a problem in the sense that it’s completely unnecessary - just run a website and leave it at that. Who wants to install a bunch of useless chrome instances pretending to be other programs? If you want to make a program, make a program. If you want to make a website, make a website. Simple
The JS in your electronic bloat could be just as vibes as the code in your standalone app, too.
The flip side is that Electron shit is worse because it’s bloated to high hell, and it’s literally just a browser. It’s completely unnecessary.
I kinda feel the same way and I don’t know how I feel about feeling that way.
Yeah, I’m glad we’re no longer getting a browser pretending to be an application, but it sucks about the fact that Vencord is gonna be busted
I’m torn here because I didn’t know what’s worse… Electron shit or AI shit.
On the plus side, the AI shit will at least be a proper application and not a web browser pretending to be an application.
I wonder how long it will take for Vencord to work on it though.
Dosbox has been amazing for ages now. I’ve heard of 86box but never had a need to check it out.
Epic Pinball and Jazz Jackrabbit were pretty good tho…
Lol Epic Games should have stopped being relevant after the 90s.
For me it was seeing Linus talking about Linux that made me want to skip… Wonder what he screwed up this time and blames the system instead of the user
Why wouldn’t people want to run them in a browser? Running an Electron app is literally just running them in a browser, it’s just that the browser is disguised as not a browser.
It’s unnecessary bloat. They’re cross-platform because I hey are literally just webapps masquerading as actual programs.
