  • The TL;DR of why this happened is there was expected to be a vote of no confidence against him. People of the UK were going to make him go through hell and trials and such and he was expected to leave anyways, so he resigned preemptively.

    This is a win for the people though, it’s good he knew he was going to lose anyways and not have us do the song and dance. What happens now though is a little worrying, the sudden resignation of him and 50+ people in the government means it’s a little confusing who’s going to rule now.











  • Electron apps is essentially running web apps wrapped as a desktop version. Most of them run like garbage and are always inferior to one made specifically for desktops. The only one I’ve used that runs sensibly is Discord.

    As for why people use it, it’s convenient for developers as most of them are familiar with web development and can essentially copy-paste their web application without having to change much.


  • “Shitty Linus’s video” pointed out issues with Linux and its communities that people have been talking about for over a decade, yet people only just now realized because now a popular youtuber saying it.

    Linux is awesome, but it has a massive UX problem. You have to use the console, but first you have to learn how to use the console, and when beginners install/update/remove something the console spams 300 lines that are hard to parse. Then when you mess up, you can damage your system. All of these things are obvious, but people only got alarmed when Linus struggled with it…

    It’s been getting better with GUI tools and flatpak, but man 99% of distros are still a UX disaster and not made for the average person.
