Why linux advocates are like "Oh, here is a nice alternative OS, lets tamper it with linux, because everything is better with linux!"?
Stop wishing others to change, start change linux instead. And yes, you can use Haiku kernel with gnu userland, so there is no big roadblock there. Good luck.
You are not forced to use that service. Also you don't pay anything. What kind of rights do you expect in this case? It is not a human right to have access any webservice.
>you have an email address at Gmail
Gmail is not the only provider. Host your own mail. You will have to learn baroque things like operating systems, networking, etc., but it is doable.
>on YouTube
Create your own platform or deplatform those who dislike your "cucumber".
>because apparently cucumbers are a part of some neo-nazi slang
Yeah, icecream can lick back.
>your bank account
Make your own bank or deplatform the existing ones. They also need water/internet, right? Call the providers, they will cancel their subscription to keep their renome inmaculate.
>"it's not censorship if a private company is doing it"
Why do you want to use services where things like this can happen?
>without using their services, you may as well not exist on the internet.
Many people really greatful for this.
>What a wonderful world to be living in.
Sorry, it will be hard to swallow but you picked this timeline. Now instead of crying try to make the best out of it.
Dell sells (because i am pretty sure they don't manufacture them) really crappy input devices nowadays. I sent countless back directly to their Munich HQ.
>But oh no! 300mb!! Unneeded code on my precious hard drive!
If somebody from the "Hit a programer, they will know why did they got it" group lurking here, please consider the comment of wayneftw as a call for a dance.
>My skills are not really outfit for frontend development or desktop development.
Then you should simply not do that.
This is the reason why we have so many unusable and ugly program with wild UI.
Make you a favor: next time pay for a proper developer, you don't have to do everything yourself.
So because even senior programers can't do parallel-programming and handle threads then just simply use a webbrowser everywhere?
Why don't you and the other programers sitting back into the school-bench and learn it? You know, it would make you more valuable at your company.
But yeah, i understand, programers actually hate and not capable to learn something new, this is why linux exists.
Yes, it is good enough, this is exactly why we still live in the 60's (see linux), this is why we still use windows, this is why there is no seamless GUI on nixes, this is why we still use terminals and users, this is why intelligent, and great operating systems got messacred, this is why there are only mediocre people in the IT, and this is why we can't have nice things.
>essentially none of the criticisms and drawbacks of doing so have been addressed, the anti-Electron group feels like they're being ignored
I was told there is a "Hit a programer, they will know why did they got it" group and they basically waiting for the employes at the HQs, following them to the parking lots / train stations and beating the living sht out of them, just because their profession is programer.
Maybe if this gets mainstream we will see change in the future.
