as the owners of it (to the extent an open source project can be owned anyway), and spending a lot of effort making their own chromium browser on all platforms, yeah, i think it is fair to assume there is some big strategy bound up in electron.

That anything going on is part of a larger strategy is an awful big assumption.

controlling the default platform for applications might not be as cool as it used to be, but it might still be lucrative.

I thank gently caress daily that i’ve never once used teams and in fact only have a vague idea that it’s about more than one person

it's just funny because if you do have the 64bit version and you just leave teams running and only lock your pc rather than logging out, after about two weeks it will have used all your ram to the point that they system stops responding and has to be physically rebooted.

i just closed teams, thanks for the tip

I had an automatic gag reflex for all Microsoft stuff due to my experience with them back when they were the big evil. now that they are a boring enterprise software company I’ve tried to get over my disdain for them.

then work gave me a windows laptop with the Microsoft suite of apps and goddamn, it is a burning pile of poo poo.

Microsoft is making a slow, uncomfortable takeover of the React and Javascript scene. I was just on a project using typescript, and when searching online for topics about it I found discussion that was very unfamiliar. People talking about IDE settings and referencing the C:/ drive.

This European agency also chose to use AppCenter from Microsoft, which they published exactly one version on before it broke and tasked me with fixing. Well, configuration was very limited. And documentation and user reports all said this kind of app shouldn’t work on AppCenter. I ended up using another CI and building it with XCode and pushing to Apples TestFlight. Still, the app didn’t work right, but this was because of our app. Along the way I had to fix some stuff. The manager then came and undid everything and somehow got it working on AppCenter. I was worried AppCenter was detecting and fixing issues, but also leaving us ignorant of our own problems. Sure enough, the build problems seen building through my CI began happening in development. The manager kept saying, if it builds on AppCenter, that’s all that matters. So a branch that had much-needed improvements had to be abandoned because of this bug. We had to follow this golden path: one lined with traps for devs and depended entirely on MS AppCenter.

I sent my final invoice today but they’re still struggling to send my first.
