> And OpneGL is worse I disagree. OpenGL is truly bad, but there is no API in this world as bad as Vulkan.

Shaders aren't the issue with Vulkan. Writing 50 lines of code for things that should be one-liners is.

Ironically, the Vulkan discord always complains about the bad support of Vulkan on mobile devices, and how OpenGL ES is still better supported.

> Personally, I would recommend WebGPU to people who want to get into graphics programming. Unfortunately WebGPU is like 5 years behind OpenGL 4.6, which is already 8 years old. We…

WebGPU has the issue that feature/capability-wise it is essentially 5 years behind OpenGL 4.6, which came out 8 years ago. And the other downside being that it adopted old Vulkan c…

Vulkan is garbage. It's completely needlessly overengineered. Like, you literally have to write 50 lines of code just to allocate GPU memory, which is a one-liner in other APIs lik…

Time. I have the time to maintain a single GUI. I do not have the time to maintain three GUIs. Of course they'll be 99% the same, but checking that this 1% difference behaves and l…

They may care, however, if they get anything at all. I do not have the resources to target something to all platforms, so the alternative wouldn't be "Users get UI targeted towards…

The alternative is not that users get a UI specific for their OS, it is that users get nothing since I do not have the resources to develop for multiple systems. So yes, it is also…

I have better things to do than spend my time adopting UI for various different systems. If Electron gives me the option to easily create a UI that looks the same everywhere, then …

Consistency is the reason why Electron is great. Consistency of the UI across operating systems.

> They consistently miss the mark in adopting UI patterns from their host OS. What you suggest is a disadvantage is one of the key advantages of Electron to me. I precisely do not …

The map does not look plausible to me. I live in Vienna and spent quite a bit of time in the Netherlands. There is absolutely no way that Vienna scores better than Dutch cities whe…

I switched from Firefox to Chrome a couple of years back because Firefox always dragged its feet when it came to implementing important developer features. Like, DataView was excru…

I hope not, I switched from chrome to edge so I can continue using ublock origin.

Anything I'd self-host would be down way more often than github.

I prefer windows over others because I'm used to it, but "offensive trash" is pretty fitting with the direction they're going. Windows has been severily enshittified in the past fe…

Where did you find the 300GB/s? That's indeed disappointing if true.

The feature that sold me was the domain block feature. Search results are so much better when they dont include SEO'd garbage, sites with entirely AI generated content, or userbenc…

C/C++ is a perfectly fine term for C or C-style C++. The languages can be very close, and personally I prefer C-style C++ miles over some of the half-baked modern nonsense. I mean,…

Search results are 80% SEO low-quality garbage nowadays. Very often, the sites even generate their content with AI. So for many use cases I stopped bothering with search and direct…

Yeah, I tried to sign up for instagram, but at the fourth captcha I gave up and left. How does instagram have any users with such a hostile sign-up barrier?

Probably for a similar reason why I would rather buy a single 4TB SSD than fourty 100MB SSDs.

Guest accounts are a nice theory that do not match the lived practice of scenarios such as "Yeah sure, go to the PC to add some songs to the playlist".

I still found it insane to display passwords that easily. Sometimes I give brief access to my PC to friends, family, acquaintances, or even colleagues, and they shouldn't be able t…
