You are not the first to tell me this. Obviously not word for word.
that's because there is an element of loveual tension to every political debate. if someone told me you spent that much time arguing with nerdy men and didn't come out some kind of gay I would be surprised.

Hello, I’m wearing the skin of a child enthusiast because we killed him
what happened to him anyways, was he chased out of the town square or?

the blind hate for electron apps in this thread is my pet peeve. Hating on electron because it's "bloated" and "uses a lot of memory" is an opinion only profoundly junior engineers who have never shipped anything can have. It is the kind thinking that only the "um ackshually" fresh newgrads can have because they chase extremely insignificant performance gains and try to hyperoptimize everything. They do not realize that engineering is a field of TRADEOFFS and PRAGMATISM and you actually have to cobble stuff together with a limited timeline. You can't just sit around and circlejerk about how you need sub-10mb binaries and all the code has to run in O(n) time, you NEED TO SHIP TO MAKE MONEY.

Let me clarify my position on electron/JS/webdev as a whole:

I think web applications are by far the best cross-platform UI system ever designed and the ability to create consistent and reactive UIs across ***every*** single platform is an advantage that far outweighs their performance.

My proof of this is that fact that engineering teams across the world have settled on it as the de facto standard for cross-platform development, entire industries have spawned overnight because of SPAs, and there has never been an era where more apps work on every platform.

The electron team and people who develop web browsers/engines (chrome, firefox, etc.) have made enormous strides in the safety, performance, and reliability of these platforms in the recent years. Javascript development is no longer a painful relic of multiple competing standards. HTML & CSS are the best they have ever been, it's literally only up from here and people who repeat the same tired old talking points that web dev sucks only do so because it's cool to do so.

To the people who still think web dev sucks as a UI creator: have you ever tried to create a UI using Qt? how about Swing? what about WPF or even the UI libraries in game engines such as Unity?

The fact of the matter is: all of those libraries suck, there has never been a consistently good UI platform for apps that need to run on ALL platforms. The only thing that ever came close was the web, and it's here to stay and just gets better and better.

I predict the future will have OSs implementing some kind of electron-like environment inside the OS so that all of these apps won't have to ship with a chrome binary, but we are already at the point where HTML & CSS is the UI platform and most complaints have been addressed or are in the pipeline of being addressed.
when programmers take the speed/capacity of modern hardware for granted. why is there like 5 seconds of latency half the time when I'm menuing around my TV. Why does your stuffty little mod manager have Chromium embedded into it.
the only exception to my point is TVs, why the forget do all of them have such stuffty god damn processors. I have never bought a ""smart"" TV that functions without significant input lag or crashing. In this case, I think running an entire OS on the thing is overengineering and it should only display what the inputs are giving it. I want my TVs dumb as a brick

Wow, it's been a while - almost three years! I was browsing through my history when I stumbled on this post, so I figured I might as well reply.

I last posted on the forums on December 23rd, 2020. A lot's happened in my life in these last three years.

On December 25th, 2021, I realized I'm trans. I came out to my family and friends, started HRT, lost old friends, gained new friends, changed my name, got a girlfriend, got in a car crash, got a job to pay for my HRT, all the while looking to find a tech job that'll hire some random woman with no academic credentials or professional experience to speak of. Fun times!

Blockland holds a lot of memories for me, both good and bad. I remember the friendships I had across nearly a decade that I was part of this community, most of whom I've lost touch with and will probably never hear from again. I remember all the wonderful game mods I wrote and servers I hosted, and the fun times we had. I also remember the toxicity this community could bring, and how somehow Blockland always brought out the worst version of myself. More than anything else, that was why I stopped hosting - I don't like the person I become when I host.

To everyone I met, thank you for the good experiences we had, and I apologize for adding to the bad.
hi I just wanted to say that I am glad you posted because I thought of your TDMs a while back and how they were always the most fun and creative ones.

glad to see you are doing great!

Looking back at the BLF's history, it's absolutely insane what kind of stuff this community just glanced over and let slide back then

What was wrong with us?
we were kids bro

like everyone here was 8-14 at that time except for the insane freaks like bisjac that would prey on everyone else
