The point is that you don't have a monopoly on defining what food is it isn't "real" pizza, and old world cuisine very frequently isn't actually as old as they claim it be. In many cases "new world" food has an even longer history than old world food, especially in South and Central America

    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.

    This is what I was going to say. I actually don't care whether we impeach or not (unless we know we have the votes). But we do have a better chance now after a huge wave election. This is a big wakeup call to the GOP. their thugs in purple or purple leaning states are gonna be looking for ways to distance themselves from Trump

    Progressives don't have enough clout yet to choose the speaker. A lot of the people who just won new seats are conservative to moderate Democrats.

    At this point I just want a fighter who's going to go after maga. I'm pretty progressive but we need to be realistic about how Congress actually works.
