No matter how fanboi-y a Linux or Apple user gets, they can never out fanboi a Microsoft fanboi. They take making shit up about competitors to a entirely new level.
I wonder why so many people bundle Electron when you can make your app run in any browser. Like, you can totally write a program that just launches the browser and makes it load a site from lokal storage
Electron (and Tauri, and Neutralino) also offers some deeper OS integration stuff that browsers don't do or actively block; direct file management, USB peripheral control, that sort of thing.
But for something like Discord, you're totally right. You just need the browser.
You can do USB control over browser, at least enough for Keychron to do their keyboard configuration stuff as a web app. It's pretty cool actually, no need to install anything, even works on Linux
This is not even mental gymnastics at that point.
Mental... contortionist?
I have this sudden urge to do an FLTK project.
Lame attempt at ragebait.
Yeah, not because they saw a way to develop for Win/Mac/Linux/Android/IOS all at the same time and went yeah, we'd take some of that.
Naw, They REALLY wanted to dip their toes in that 2013 extra 1% of traffic pool.
Thank God this guy got disliked to hell.
5 downvotes are absolutely nothing compared to that level of idiocy.
