  • You wouldn’t run a website because a website doesn’t have the capabilities of a desktop app. No one wants to run VS code from their browser. People don’t even want to run outlook or teams from their browser. A desktop app results in far superior UX in most cases for tools that people need to use frequently.

    Electron allows you to use existing webdev teams to build apps for basically every platform in existence, which is exactly why companies use it.

    Alternative platforms exist but not every company has the right people to build on top of them and it’s difficult to argue against the cost savings of using electron.

    It’s not really that complicated. Many of these apps simply wouldn’t exist on Linux or Mac if it weren’t for electron or similar frameworks. Companies might build a website (if it makes sense) and a Windows app and that’s it, depending on the target audience

    And yes, you might get vibe bloat in the framework code but that isn’t an argument against electron, since literally any framework could be and probably is infected with AI bloat at this point.













  • Mike Johnson already announced that he won’t seek the minority leadership next year. There’s literally no whining about the election result being fake, even from Trump himself. The Republicans are conceding all over the country.

    They lost. They aren’t going to do shit because they can’t do shit and they know it. You can’t execute a coup when the entire country resoundingly rejects you. It’s the same reason Orban and Vucic had to leave.


  • My buddy Hakeem Jefferies? Lmao yeah right.

    I never said we should take our foot off the gas, I said they aren’t going to reverse the election results because guess what, they fucking can’t.

    Mike Johnson just announced he isn’t even running for minority leader next year but you think they’re going to stop the new Congress from being seated? They’re conceding all over the place, is that what you’d do if you were going to rig the election?

    You’re just another weirdo terminally online mfer who can’t admit that all your whining and agitating and pessimism was based on pure delusion, and you’re too cowardly to admit you were wrong.
