There are several issues with native development without a browser layer.

First of all, native UI toolkits are very different and making a robust cross platform app is pretty much impossible. So, the traditional approach is to use one toolkit, which will be native to one platform, and then let your other users deal with it. For example, GTK apps on Windows and Mac look and feel like shit.

Another approach is to use a custom cross platform toolkit, which doesn’t use anything native at all. If enough work and thought is put in such application, it can be a very pleasant experience. But often it’s shit for all users.

The second issue is that it can be quite hard to manage fluid window sizes and to build a proper responsive UI with native toolkits. Some are better at it, some are worse. Native toolkits also tend to punish developers for deep nesting of components making UI development even more painful.

HTML + CSS solves all that. It’s responsive by design, everyone is used to web apps already, nesting is not a problem at all, etc.

The main thing keeping people inside is that they cannot leave NK anymore. NK government did a complete border lockdown during the pandemic and they managed to sign a deal with China and Russia that every defector will be caught and brought back to NK. The only way out now is through the sea and that’s a death sentence.

Because no one wants to pay for anything.

They will also have a chance to defect and then finally have a life somewhere in Europe. Or maybe even migrate to South Korea later on.

The difference between the czar and Putin is that many people in Russia are (or were, before the war) living a decently good life. But back in the days if you were not an aristocrat, you were pretty much a slave living in utterly horrible conditions. Wikipedia can give you a quick overview of 19th century - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Russia

In short: non stop wars with everyone (over 1m civilian peasants died in just 1812 alone), serfdom (literally slavery in the case of the Russian Empire) was only abolished in 1861, Russians endured SIX cholera pandemics during the century before the revolution with millions dead, there was a massive famine at the turn of the century, and lack of industrialisation meant that the economy of Russian Empire was dying. The late Russian Empire was a meat grinder, people had nothing to lose. And they knew that they will die soon anyways, either from famine, physical abuse or an illness.

Windows doesn’t crash at all. Even if your GPU crashes, Windows will just blink, reload the driver and you’ll be none the wiser that something has happened.

Please stop whitewashing a genocide.

Because the US is an authoritarian pseudo democracy being run by cartels. And free market and capitalism is a death sentence for them.

Military is the only thing they have. It might not be the most modern, but they have more artilery shells than any other country. Other stockpiles are huge AF as well. Almost 4% of their population are in active military service and 2% more are reservists. In terms of head count, they have almost as many active personel as Russia while having a fraction of population. Plenty of disposable meat!

No, that’s the other way round. You either have high CPU load and low memory, or low CPU load and high memory.

The software is getting heavier because content, not code. Again, we can look at the games. Take some old games like GTA V or Skyrim, they will fly on modern high end machines! Now add mods with 8K textures, higher definition models, HDR support, etc and these old games will bend over your RTX4090.

That’s about what my Slack is using, while being written in Electron, lol. Oh, you people…

I guess you live in a country with loads of spare IP addresses. Here in the UK they change every few days and IPs get rotated between all ISPs, so you can’t even deduct which ISP I’m using. And sometimes my IP is not even a mainland UK IP, but some weird shit from across the world, because Empire, lol.

You can simply do battery swaps. Plane refueling already requires heavy machinery and industrial scale. I bet battery swaps will be faster than refueling.

Your IP changes all the time, it doesn’t matter. The best someone can deduct from your IP is the country.

The point is that MPV will use shitloads of memory too.

Ahaha, ok!

I don’t think that 2 years is a must. Here in the UK police officers have 5 months of classroom and 3 months of field training. That works pretty well. What also helps is that British police officers are trained to diffuse the situation and don’t have guns.
