- So it turns out that it’s just the “Recommended” section, and it’s actually the Microsoft flavor of React Native that spits out real - Windows(I think C++) code, but still…yeah.- What do you mean when you say it spits out real windows code? - Sorry, I think I must have had a small stroke while writing that. I think I meant C++. - That makes so much more sense lol 
- wait, does windows jit compile C++ ?? - You know, I thought I heard it did, but now I can’t find any sources so it may just be Winforms or something. 
 
 
 
 
- Use proprietary softwane developed for profit
- It’s shit
 - Many such cases - Use FOSS software developed by unpaid volunteers in their free time
- They don’t have time to finish the functionality or fix the bugs
- It’s even worse
 - Skill issue. Just buy a jitterbug why don’t you 
 
 
- c/programmer_sorrow 
- It would be interesting to see the annual global power consumption from design choices like this. - Probably negligible compared to the bundled AI tools - I’m convinced a lot of the “AI tools” in general are just the same old tool with data collection tacked onto it. I really hope some of the things I see labeled as “AI” in tech these days are not actually running some model on a GPU somewhere. I pray they aren’t at least. 
 
 
- Oh yeah… that’s just bad design 
- So maybe this explains why Windows takes 20 seconds to find Notepad when I search for it on the Start menu. - Sometimes it’s like “Notepad? Never heard of it.” - Let me search Bing for “notepad,” since that’s definitely something you want when you’re searching the start menu. 
- Win+R, notepad, enter. The run command still works…for now. - They sure are destroying that platform at lightning speed. 
 
- deserved tbh 
- Is that true?.. - This YouTube link at the time indicates part of the menu is. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kMJNEFHj8b8&t=276s - Of so it’s the ads that are react native apps. Double gross. - I don’t have any expertise or taken a look at it but this comment makes it so much worse: https://lemmy.ca/comment/16819736 
 
 
 
- Does this explain why the new native paint and notepad apps are so awful? I find these apps behaving like browser apps instead of a native applications. Also the right click menu sometimes paints/fills in instead of instantly appearing? How about context menus that are misplaced or impossible to read?
