  • What do you mean? I don’t think any other operating system even comes close to Windows in regards to backwards compatibility. Most software designed for Windows 98 will still run fine on Windows 11.

    There are thousands lines of code in the NT kernel with patches for specific programs. There is even a line patching an incompatibility with Lego Island, lol.

    I don’t know any open source client that is even remotely as nice to use as Boost. Also, it’s not like the developer is actively spying on you, that’s just the default AdMob popup Google is now forced to show (They simply didn’t ask for any kind of consent in the past).

    Anyway, I simply paid a few bucks for ad-free Boost.









  • Feed generation is already a very complex process implementing hundreds or thousands of variables to show every single user only posts that are likely to be relevant to them. Filtering out any posts by blocked accounts shouldn’t matter here. The real reason why Elon removed the feature is probably that he realized he was the most blocked person on Twitter, lol.



  • Electron is a framework for building desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. By embedding Chromium and Node.js into its binary, Electron allows you to maintain one JavaScript codebase and create cross-platform apps that work on Windows, macOS, and Linux — no native development experience required.

    Electron is so much more than “just a web engine with a full set of OS xalls hooked in”. Ultralight and Sciter are frameworks that actually just happen to use HTML, CSS and JavaScript for UI development. They aren’t fully-fledged web browsers without a search box, they are tailor-made for app development.
