Just thinking about cloud apps like Microsoft 365, Dropbox etc. and how we now have a generation that doesn’t know what performance looks like.
That’s pretty sad.
I have a 10 gig pipe to my *desk*, running an ultra low latency enterprise network stack, with high-end current generation hardware and the majority of my work is done in… electron and web apps.
By god it’s depressing.
Confused as to how this translates to “Windows is shit, use Linux” to some people. But I’m quite literally using Linux and MacOS.
This isn’t an OS issue, it’s an issue of us allowing non-native applications to be the norm, allowing technology monoliths to dictate if an application works on a given day.
Dictating performance. When something ran slowly we used to re-home it onto faster hardware or upgrade components. Now we have “no matter how fast your device is, you’re gonna get shit performance”.
Waiting a second or more for an action to complete may be acceptable to some, but it’s a problem we solved around 2002.

@kazriko Can we assure the nextcloud supply chain? Would we be compensated for impact or damage caused by their software?
That’s the problem.
I love nextcloud, but there’s a lot of steps between it existing and being usable in a mature organisation.
