Web 2.0 or: “Instead of loading all code from the same URL the website now needs a dozen of different scripts from a dozen of different URLs, gives a shit about CSP and only shows a blank page when JS and/or cookies are disabled.”
Don’t worry, texteditor.com is also available as an app on Windows, macOS and Linux thanks to Electron.
It only needs 300 megabytes and you can style it with CSS.
It also only takes a single gigabyte of RAM per file being edited, Isn’t that fantastic?
Oh I love electron
I’m not sure which is worse. I mean most desktop programs are just glorified web browsers anyway (i.e Electron)
What do you mean, “most?” Electron apps are the vast minority of desktop apps.
Electron apps are the vast minority of desktop apps.
“Not for long!” - Multiplatform programmers
They are probably referring to the amount of progressive web apps that are out now.
As long as you don’t check the task manager.
by market share (vscode)
I mean look at the most used applications these days, discord, Spotify, teams, steam, vscode, slack, etc
They might not all exactly be electron but theyre all secretly browsers.
.exe? 🤮
Linux doesn’t have a standard file extension for executable files, and that wouldn’t have been good for this meme.
You can:
./texteditor,./bin/texteditor, “texteditor binary”, “(local) texteditor program”..elf is the closest thing we have.
I hate elves. If I see any elves in my computer I’m throwing it in the forge.
YES BROTHER KILL THE ELVES
Eh, .elf is more for really low level ELF files, so a program would just be named program, a kernel would be named kernel.elf
Is web3.0 just https://texteditor.exe?

Award me a proprietary Ethereum-based crypto token for editing my text with your tool and I’m sold.

I shamelessly use calculator.net instead of installing a calculator on my system lmao
you can also just g**gle your calculations
Use google to mean “web search” in general!
Let them loose their trademark over the name google by generalization!
lose*
isnt that what we’ve been doing for years
giggle?
Are you aware how much more electricity your calculation is consuming
bc -lI checked the manual to see what the -l switch does and it says you can choose the math library you want to use? in what cases should I use it?
without -l, default behavior is integer results. Probably not what you want in most calculations.
Bruh, I actually prefer the “Web 2.0” solution. That way the god damn editor can’t just start accessing all the shit on my drive.
Lol but included in the source for www.texteditor.com is analytics, beacons, etc from Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Cloudfare, and a bajillion different ad networks that send the content of your text file to AI models.
Harder to get a virus from a website
Given that JavaScript stands as one of the most prevalent vectors for infections, I am inclined to disagree.
