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.

Electron isn’t a problem when it’s used well, eg VS Code. At least you know what you’re getting.

You have no idea what the code is doing is when some numbnut vibe codes it without a thorough review.

So what? All pedos should be charged. Just because you’re willing to defend pedophile rapists like Trump doesn’t mean the rest of us are like you. We actually have principles.

Ridiculous answer. So “the media” wrote the constitution and invented the concept of a presidential system now?

Lemmy started off more mature and feminist than reddit but it’s become an equivalent shithole over time.

I may just unplug from social media for a long time 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

I thought people would be happy here but Lemmy is basically identical to reddit- full of miserable weirdos who are perpetually negative about anything and everything.

Oh I’m well aware lol.

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.

They will if you get off your butt and hold your Dem reps accountable instead of whining on Reddit.

Don’t forget Amy Acton whooping on rape enabler Ramaswamy. She’s also the first woman to govern Ohio.

Rankin is the judiciary guy and he’s already talking about issuing subpoenas.

Jeffries sucks but he isn’t the dictator of Congress.

Most of these people have the time to memorize 50 different celebrities and their backgrounds yet don’t even know who their senators are. We need to stop making excuses for them. Baseline political knowledge only takes about 2-3 minutes of your time per day, it isn’t that big of an ask.

Also a significant portion of GOP voters are just plain horrible people.

Nixon resigned due to corruption, and then who became president in 76? The economy stunk it up and Iran humiliated us in 1980, so then who became president? War goes bad and economy tanks in 2006, who got elected in 2008? Congress obstructs Obama for two years, who became president in 2016?

I think you’re proving my point, rather than refuting it. I’m not saying Americans have a long memory, I’m saying they’ve proven they don’t understand the role of Congress in our government and blame the head of state instead.

You can go back many decades and see the same pattern over and over again. Americans blame the president when things aren’t going well, and reelect the president when they think things are good. And it’s mainly but not exclusively tied to the economy.

I don’t see the economy improving with Trump in charge. It’ll likely get worse. The GOP can whine and cry about Congress all they want but that’s never worked in the past, and won’t work now. Americans expect the president to deliver and they’ve allowed Congress to concede large amounts of power to the WH for that reason over the decades.

I’m not making any argument about impeachment here (I’d rather harass the GOP with constant investigations), I’m simply saying the GOP doesn’t have a good way out of this situation. And I do think it’s going to be durable, because Trump is their biggest liability and he absolutely cannot stfu or stop doing impulsive, stupid stuff that grabs headlines and legitimately hurts voters.

If Trump kicks the bucket and Vance tones things down, that could change the landscape. But even then he’s not going to do all that much with a Dem Congress and many things like the medicaid cuts will hit hard under his watch.

When something big like this happens it typically takes 2-3 days for the Nazi media to develop new talking points. Every now and then it takes longer, eg the January 6th attack took them a few months to fully rationalize.

It wasn’t conspiracy shit, asshat. The comment I replied to was acting like people commit murder-suicide attacks for logical reasons and such a thing couldn’t possibly happen. I pointed out that they can and do happen. And I even mentioned the ATC audio in my comment.

This whole thread is full of irrational morons who can’t read. Why can’t you just wait for the investigation before confidently declaring you know exactly what happened? I’m the only one here saying we don’t know, y’all are the ones pretending to be experts and spreading pet theories about it.

Americans didn’t give an eff about Nazis until the Nazis’ friends literally bombed us.

Corruption was the number 2 issue in most polls. The economy is always the top issue for Americans when the economy sucks but it should be somewhat heartening that corruption and concerns about democracy were also really high on the list

I really don’t see any way the GOP wins the presidency in 2028. That’s just not how US politics work. People always hate Congress, but they blame the president for bad economies and bad news.

It’s far more likely this turns out like 2006-2008, where the Dems had a huge wave in 2006 and then an even bigger one in 2008 when they elected Obama.

Swing and low info voters simply don’t give much of a shit about the work Congress actually does on a daily basis. They’re going to blame the president for their problems like they always have.

I doubt this happens. Their base is still way up Trump’s ass and they’d pay for it in 2028.

You might see some of them, especially the ones from purple states, push back more against Trump but convicting him in an impeachment trial won’t happen.
