So does self-flagellation, but we don’t provide default whips in the Kernel.

Pure bloat. I will be personally switching to the Hurd Kernel just because of this change.

It really is. WebASM is miles beyond what you’re probably thinking of in terms of browser based performance, and most companies these days do not have local applications installed for their office workers. Office 365 is by far the most popular version of office, and it’s entirely browser based. Most in-house corporate IT work from the last decade is electron wrappers of internal company websites acting as simple interfaces for actual heavy lifting.

While there’s definitely some apps that are a bit too heavy for WebASM (or just javascript/.net for the above examples) this list is vanishingly short these days. I’d say blender and other 3d rendering would be inefficient just because WebASM has weird interactions with anything other than OpenGL and Vulkan, But even Unreal 5 can export to WebASM and do it fairly well (as well as OpenGL can perform, that poor outdated thing).

Heck just go to itch.io or any website that has ported over games to WebGL/WebASM. You can run Half-life directly on your browser these days. Half Life of all games. That’s more demanding than anything not 3d that you’d run in an office.

Counter-point: Cubeless and platforms like it are close enough to a browser and handle that. Also by the very loose definition of secure encryption, https.

Most software can effectively run in a browser at this point, and the bit that can’t can be self hosted on a server and then cast to your browser.

Most likely your software will work via bottles or wine. If you have a desktop PC from the last decade and it cost more than $1k, you can also run a VM (or Winboat) specifically for your software with nearly 1:1 performance to bare metal (if you get the passthrough right.)

Which isn’t a permanent solution, mind you, but if it’s just one piece of software holding you back and you don’t care to play with alternatives, then the solution isn’t to keep Windows despite its terrible performance in 99% of things, it’s to switch to windows and emulate or compatibility layer the 1% of software you might use that requires windows.

Bro look up median publisher and dsitrbutor fees. There’s a reason steam became the defacto publishing platform, it was the cheapest option by far.

Play protect doesn’t actually scan for malware; it’s not an anti-virus. Google, supposedly, scans for malware on the app store regularly and takes action through play protect if they find it there.

So, in other words, unless you have a very specific reason; like you believe it is likely that one of the apps you use from the google play store could become compromised in the future, just disable plat protect.

It will at best annoy you with false positives and blocking non-play store apps for no other reason than google’s jealousy. At worst it won’t stop a harmful app from being on your device – it will just eventually catch and remove it after it has already been on your device doing whatever nefarious activity.

Code was in use relating to the set of instructions used to control a computer in 1946; with it becoming a verb by 1986. Programming was from 1945 as a first use in regards to computers; meaning "cause to be automatically regulated in a prescribed way.

Now the funny thing is the noun ‘Program’ in regards to computers in 1945 meant “series of coded instructions which directs a computer in carrying out a specific task”

So if we really work through the etymology a bit, coded instructions was first, then Program/ming, then Code and coding; though certainly ‘encoding’ would have been used before programming given the definition of ‘coded instructions.’

So… Blame Ada Lovelace for not coming up with something catchy like ‘lacing’ which would have been far more camp (and much more accurate to the gender of early programmers).

Luna is primarily a cloud gaming platform, where you can also purchase and download some games.

Both options have ridiculously limited selections, but you can occasionally (like right now) get some free gog keys out of it, and Epic store keys if you’re a masochistic little femboy.

So in other words, burnout is absolutely not the problem, capitalism is.
