Hard to do when half the applications are built that way. Git GUIs, code/text editors, chat programs, even the next outlook is jumping on this stuff.

I get it that it’s faster to code like that and you basically get cross platform compatibility for free since you’re writing a website, but it’s a hog of resources that should have been stopped years ago.

Yes, electron-based stuff and the likes are a plague

Can we kill locally running web apps from the AppStore next, please?

Never forget what they took from us in the name of progress.

I would love that if I had an iPhone mini and the keyboard prevents the software one from popping up. On a full sized regular iPhone I don’t really see the appeal, even if I do like physical keyboards.

“Field missing from registry”, one of my favourite franchises, is now owned by EA? Ugh. 😩

You’re literally supposed to leave out cookies for him.

No, that’s the likes of apkpure/aptoide.

Then again, as long as the store version comes with clean repositories only, there’s no legal issue. If you then add unknown sources with unknowingly sourced apps it’s up to you

I wonder if at least one non empty line from the original code is still present in today’s desktop version

It is how Netflix operated in the streaming market.

Operate at a loss but the growing user base is enough to please and encourage investors. Once enough people are using your service, hike prices.

Must’ve been Win7. There were ways to upgrade certain 7 licenses to valid Win 8.x licenses (the infamous Windows 8.x with Media Center) that you could get if you had a viable Win7 license (anything except starter, basic and pro). Win 10 and 11 were free “upgrades” if you had a 7+ key

Windows 7 and Windows 8 were definitely not free upgrades

It only got worse, and now that enshittification is in full effect for most big name consumer software, the speed at which things are falling is rising exponentially.

I only expect even worse now that AI has become mainstream and companies are half baking it into every notepad they find.

I guess nobody’s selling avocado toasts in China.

As long as your country has no oil, you can insult them without fear of retribution

Should’ve been the version saying:

Geanie: “It is done”

Person: “But… nothing changed”

G: “Correct”

Because then you’ll be able to dismiss the ethics while being aware of the implications of your research.

Disregarding the ethics while not knowing them grants you no extra points, whilst deliberately ignoring the ethical ramifications but understanding them gets you all the points

I get the most deadly creatures and kangaroos for free? No way!

What if I despise the way they live and everything they stand for?

Minimal game optimization will be done on majority of future game titles.

That’s more optimisation than we get now
