Why are reproducible builds only on one platform (Android)? Desktop version could have a built-in backdoor and data would be transferred not from the phone, but from the PC)

    I’ve seen a lot of native applications run way worse compared to their electron alternatives. The problem is most devs don’t give a shit about code optimization.

      It’s not that the devs don’t care, it’s that they’re not given the time to do it properly. Developer time is expensive, that’s why most companies ship the very first rough draft that kinda works. If the shittyness affects profits then they will invest the absolute minimum in one specific area affecting business and nothing more.

        Yes, I also realised that a while after posting my comment. Corporativism is a plague that turns everything into a shittier version of itself.

        Linux users aren’t a very interesting target audience for any business intending to make money because they’re not used to paying for software

        Steam, JetBrains and many more would disagree

            they’re using the Electron approach

            Java isn’t the massive pile of shit that the JS ecosystem is. If you think these two are comlarable it is obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about. The landscape is a tiny bit more complex thn “C++ and then not C++”
