This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This is a trade off. Many of these apps work on osx and Linux because they are browser-based. If they go back to native apps you lose that portability.
electron was a steaming pile of shit 8 years ago. still is. what's changed?
our acceptance of shitty corporate software.
Electron is fine for what it does. It's just that every problem was turned into a nail and Electron is the hammer.
Thank Google for those cool products.
Electron was originally developed by GitHub for a text editor called Atom.
what's google got to do with it? this is an article about a product develeped at GitHub (now a microsoft subsidiary) causing problems with Windows and the thumbnail is showing produts from the following companies:
like. look. i hate google. they partner with israel to conduct genocide (don't use waze, btw, or better yet, don't use any google products). but this seems like not looking at the whole of how evil all of big tech is just to focus on how evil one company in big tech is
I mostly use terminal-based software on Linux.
I think that the only programs I use much that embed a web browser are:
Firefox
Steam
Some games that are Web-based and which I only run one of at once (Neo Scavenger, some RPGMaker-based games, probably some others).
Not sure how meaningful it is to say that Firefox "embeds a web browser", considering that it IS a web browser :P
I have couple of old 8 gb sticks from my old 960 GPU pc. Is there any way for me to stick it onto my new pc and have only certain app use it and nothing else?
Only for multi CPU mobos (and that would be pinning a thread to a CPU/core with NUMA enabled where a task accessed local ram instead of all system ram). Even then, I think all ram would run at the lowest frequency.
I've never mixed CPUs and RAM speeds. I've only ever worked on systems with matching CPUs and ram modules.
I think the hardware cost and software complexity to achieve this is beyond the cost of "more ram" or "faster storage (for faster swap)"
Way ahead of you Luddites
