Russia issued a lot of legal requirements that don't make sense. For example they at some point asked more money than we have on the planet, from Google.
Complying with the law on a territory not controlled by sensible human beings should be considered questionable at the very least.
Using jellyfin on Chromecast. For the past 3 weeks I'm stuck not being able to use it because some update broke subtitles support for external players. App became useless, I can't downgrade it, and the bug is still not fixed.
Not going to use Plex, just my 2 cents.
I just patched the APK to block the ads.
Nah it's probably just Edge (aka Chrome) all over the new UI.
I mean does it even look like creators are aiming to produce child like appearance? Full sized products would be more expensive to create and ship, and for customers - to buy and store.
You can easily buy a compact silicone alternative with human body features and... you'd be called a mutilation maniac?
Is there actual correlation between buyers of such products and real child abusers?
I would like it to be worth of the watch. But from what I remember, deep strikes by Ukraine started to affect Russia during 2024, so I assume the stage of the war the video tells us about lasts for over a year already. I can only categorize this as a low effor content and can't recommend it to anyone.
The video tells a lot of words but literally nothing specific. It seems like the text was generated by an AI with a short prompt like "Ukraine is starting to hit targets deep inside Russia" - there is literally nothing else you hear in this video. When? Where? Why exactly it makes the difference right now? Who cares right?
Not all web apps are overengineered crap
I didn't say that. There are always well engineered apps and things. But few. Compared to that, a lot of mainstream desktop apps are now web apps for no good reason. The actual reason is webdevs not challenging themselves to become something else or at least better.
If I read your case correctly, it's basically "customers use crappy laptops -> we decided to make them use web browsers" which sounds insane to me because web content IS the reason why tons of otherwise unnecessary upgrades are done in recent 10 years or so. Office guys can't use Chrome with just 8 GB of RAM because it will affect their business performance.
Not that I don't believe your case doesn't contain other specifics that make web a right choice. And I don't need to know more of that. It's just how it sounded to me.
Not desktop. Native. You can build native apps for smartphones and pretty much anything. Web comes into play when you decide you won't build native version of what you want. In some cases that is guided by thoughts like "I know web will fit this project. I know the platform and will remember to keep memory and internet usage low", but in most cases it's about "no idea what that startup is about, but I know some AngularJS and they said I can use AWS so that'll do".
Similar thing is happening now with Unreal Engine 5. The difference between devs and webdevs became very similar to the difference between coding and vibe coding.
and doesn't need to store a ton of data
I know by data you mean "data I care about as a dev" but that should also include data that is actually processed and saved on user's device. And webapps are notoriously bad at keeping their caches and data usage low.
Just tape that stuff to a wall -> zero floor space used.
