#VSCode cannot even render text at 60 FPS on my 2013 laptop. Any other program does, even games.
#Electron is a waste of resources. A high price to pay for the convenience of easy multiplatform applications.
But sure, just go ahead and buy new #hardware. Everyone has so much #money these days, right? Just chuck your old stuff in the bin. Just look how shiny this new device is!

I love the idea of #OrgMode instead of a heavy #Electron based #PKM (ahem #Logseq, #Obsidian, etc). But I need to also use it on #iOS.
Do any of you have a solution or recommendation for using orgmode on iOS devices? I know orgmode is just #PlainText, but typing on iOS is already a high friction point for me, let alone the extra formatting.
Do you use another app or system for capturing on iOS that funnels into your orgmode system? I'd love to hear about it!
FWIW, I'm using Logseq atm.
Even #HelloWorld would be close to 100MB in Electron.

Why it’s better not to use desktop versions of messengers such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal
"- All of them are built on the Electron framework, which means that the Chromium browser may be outdated and have security vulnerabilities.
- The encryption keys can be easily stolen unlike their mobile counterparts
-RATs represent threats against which desktop messenger clients are practically defenseless."

En una hora @RocketLab@twitter.com lanzará un nuevo #Electron desde Wallops, Virginia.
NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility supported the successful launch of a #RocketLab #Electron rocket at 22:39 UTC March 16, from Virginia’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Wallops Island, Virginia: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/wallops/2023/nasa-wallops-supports-second-rocket-lab-electron-launch - the mission, named “Stronger Together,” carried two, 100-kilogram commercial satellites to low-Earth orbit for #CapellaSpace.
T minus 5 minutes til the next #Electron launch from Wallops Island: webcast at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIMaf8X0FlM
@gizmomathboy @ovid @mcgrew It’s that every #Electron app is its own #Chromium and #Node runtime and process. They don’t use a shared engine like the #WebOS apps likely did.
If you want to see the difference find some Electron apps that are also available in #PWA form and run them all via the same browser app.
Team #RocketLab has rescheduled the launch of an #Electron rocket from #Wallops to Wednesday. The company said the launch is scheduled for between 6-8 p.m. Wednesday and could be visible here 90 seconds or so after the launch. The Electron is carrying two radar imaging satellites for Capella Space.
#measurement of the #specific #charge of the #electron.
with only rough #estimates of the measured values we calculated 1.65E-31 kg for the electron mass which is in the correct order of magnitude.
@JHunt I’ve been using #OnlyOffice for the modern interface, but it because it’s #Electron, there are a number of frustrations. I kind of wish that #LibreOffice had a “lite” version. I don’t need the mountain of features that it offers.
I HATE #electron apps...I know it makes cross-platform development easy or even easier on a single platform if all you have are web developers... but god, do they suck...slow and way too resource heavy.. even on a higher-end machine, they are painful to use.

I have an idea for a small cross-platform desktop app that I'd want to build using #Electron. I'm a complete Electron newb – what are my options for data persistence? Can I just plop a SQLite in there or something similar?
So now that the #Teams desktop client is deprecated for Linux, I've installed the PWAsForFirefox extension, installed Teams as a #PWA, and now my experience is *so much better*.
First, all the features.
Second, #Firefox has first class Wayland support, so it looks great.
Third, screensharing is functional again thanks to Pipewire integration.
I'm now fully of the opinion that #Electron (and similar) should die and PWAs should be the way of the future for non-native desktop app experiences.

I've found some spare memory in the Acorn Electron version of Elite, and I've used this to improve the original game in four different ways.
This clip demonstrates all of them. Can you work out what I've improved?
#acorn #electron #retrogaming #retrocomputing #8bit #bbcmicro
Was watching an interview on Youtube with Tony Oakden (ABug 12 - How Acorn Electron games launched my career) when near the end they mentioned this book.
And then it dawned on me! Hey I own that! I had never even opened it.
haha how many times have you bought something, put it on a shelf to look at later, only to completely forget you ever got it?
Hm, that reminds me. I think I have a couple of recent(ish) Amiga books unopened too.
One of the fascinating things about discussing Electron as a way of delivering applications is that there are many people who don’t seem to be bothered by the lack of standard OS features in the platform.
There are many apps that I use specifically because I know I will want to use them as part of an automation workflow on my Mac. If I can’t do that then I won’t use the app.
Do other OSes not have that same uniformity of platform features?
Lets talk about recovery 🚁 or…. Rather 🛥️, they are making #electron more waterproof. It seems like they’re going to drop the helicopter and just fish the booster straight out of the ocean. Peter Beck has mentioned in the past that marine vessels are way more expensive than helicopters. So this decision might have an impact on the margins. Next recovery mission is somewhere in 1H 2023.
I just already tried the client #Whalebird which is based on #electron framework... and works fine, it's a good option for the desktop. here's the webpage: https://whalebird.social/en
A #laser pulse surfing in the wake of an #electron beam pulse could get upshifted from visible to extreme #ultraviolet light, simulations done at the University of Michigan have shown.

#QuantumMechanics assumes that an electron remains as a particle inside an atom and there is a probability density function for the location of this particle inside an atom. Before quantum mechanics, some proposed that an #electron actually spread out as a charge cloud with a physical density function.
Both photons and electrons are extremely small. The chances of a photon hitting an electron and gets reflected is almost zero. Yet #light gets reflected by metal.
Particle physicists often compare an #electron that is kicked out of some matter to a #photon (#light) that is kicked out of some other matter. An electron carries a negative charge and has a mass. A photon has no mass. We know that metals conduct #electricity (flow of charges) mainly on its surface. Is the flow of charges due to the flow of electrons? I believe charges flow on their own. Is a #charge with no mass a matter? Is a photon a matter? Can matter exist without #mass or size?

"Here, we demonstrate a conceptually new type of scanning probe microscope—the quantum twisting microscope (QTM)...With the addition of a continuously scanned twist angle between the tip and sample, this microscope probes electrons along a line in momentum space similar to how a scanning tunnelling microscope probes electrons along a line in real space."

"as..temperature and channel widths are increased, the electron fluid flow undergoes a Knudsen-to-Gurzhi transition from the ballistic to the viscous regime characterized by a channel conductance that exceeds the ballistic limit, as well as suppressed charge accumulation against the barriers. Our results are well modeled by finite element simulations of two-dimensional viscous current flow, and they illustrate how Fermi liquid flow evolves"

The electron may be catching up to the muon in terms of its ability to test the standard model through "g-2" measurements.

Does anyone have experience to share making apps with Tauri? Looking for something that provides an easy way to develop cross-platform apps with slick UIs but also minimizes the security attack surface. Tauri looks like a promising option, but I don't know much about it.
@davew @AbeEstrada @marcoarment It’s great for what it is, but the advantages of cross-platform abstraction diminish if and when you want more interop with the surrounding OS while maintaining feature parity. You write enough shims for native APIs, you might as well be writing native code.
And the processor, memory, and resulting energy suck is real. Users with many #Electron apps hate that.
@AbeEstrada @marcoarment @davew Sometimes there’s a difference, sometimes not. The software world is littered with examples of the dream of cross-platform lowest-common-denominator development via web technologies. #Electron #Cordova #ReactNative
@jollyrogue Though this does also remind me that #AppImage is also a turd, especially when deb and RPM exist. And I'm going to have to call out #Facebook for making the #Mapillary uploader an #Electron toy wrapped in AppImage, which gives an end result that is both worse and clunkier than the web uploader they dropped or the command line tools they stopped maintaining.
#introduction time! By day, I'm a PhD student in biomedical engineering at #UBC in Vancouver, but by night I do interesting things with an #Acorn #Electron
At least, *I* think they're interesting things...
This is my flashy new retro-focused alt account. My boring daily account is @LukeJohnson@fediscience.org
Context: if you follow #deltachat_desktop discussions on the #deltachat forum you might already know that we're planning to move #deltachat_desktop from #electron to #tauri in the future. But porting the desktop client is a big effort (our move to #jsonrpc was one step into this direction).
So I made this small sample project to check tauri out.
It's a nice side effect if the emoji picker is useful by itself, maybe we could even build a community for the emoji picker.
Well, I desoldered the socket from the Issue 6 #Acorn #Electron board, cleaned it up, fixed a couple of damaged traces and placed a PGA socket.
Turns out that with a replaced IC18 and a couple of repaired traces (and a cracked via filled with solder) it works just fine. The memory corruption and timing problems I saw with the Synertek gate array in the Issue 4 Electron don't seem to manifest.
I did replace the Rockwell #6502A with a Synertek one, just so it'd be in spec.
Goodness me... wrapping my head around context isolation and IPC in #Electron has been a pain, but I think I might have finally cracked it!
Mostly, I am just sick of all these stupid #Electron apps and wish there was something else.
This was Tuesday’s #RocketLab #Electron rocket launch from #NASA Wallops Flight Facility on Virginians Eastern shore. I was 80 miles away in Williamsburg VA.
First pic is a few 30 second exposures of the first stage.
Next is a composite of several thousand (underexposed) video frames showing the track of first and second stages along with star trails and planes.
Finally, zooming in, you can see the flashes of the falling fairing halves, which were naked eye visible.
you know what immediately pulls me out of the illusion of "hey, it's a native app!" that just turns out to be an #electron app? when things like text/content selection on the UI elements, and general image and link drag'n'drop behaviour from regular browsers is not suppressed. makes the whole thing feel weirdly brittle, and the artifice is exposed...
The Flatpak repo for Signal has instructions for switching Electron to Wayland, but it's buggy in some annoying ways:
https://github.com/flathub/org.signal.Signal#wayland
@GossiTheDog The entire #Microsoft #Teams app is a one big bug called #Electron / #Chromium…😂
the amount of missinformation on how browsers and toolkits like #Electron work is pretty incredible.
Newsflash: Embedded browsers have existed since waaaaaaaaaaaay before Electron and even the IE based ones worked fine most of the time. If you've played any MMOs in the 2000s to 2010s you'll know their IE embed based launchers very well.
And you don't need an embedded browser to fuck up themeing either, Java did that decades ago.
#xtt (XTimeTable) is an application written by Matt Chapman (of www.xwinman.org fame).
It's a simple application written in #x11 (using #libxpm) to display recurring events throughout the working week -- which in this case is a static timetable of university lectures.
The entries shown can be colour-coded (via X11 colour names - which would have been in rgb.txt).
The day's schedule is assumed to be static -- that is, one entry per hour, and a working day of 09:05 - 17:05 -- hence there can only ever be 9 entries per day at most.
I really like this application as it shows just how versatile this application could be - as well as it not being over-engineered to use #electron, which is precisely what many people writing something like this now would use.
Fools!
@supernovae @Migueldeicaza Right, but the OP was about desktop #Electron and the reply was about app stores which are mostly for mobile. There was a kerfuffle a few years back about #Apple rejecting Electron apps due to private API usage, but the framework and build process was fixed.
@supernovae @Migueldeicaza Bit of an #Apple to orange comparison there, as #Electron is a desktop framework
BTW, if anyone is looking for a #gig to get @agregore published across some of the major platforms, I'd love to chat.
Ideally you'll have published an Electron app to either Windows/Mac OS/Ubuntu/AUR.
Boosts appreciated.
@coregaze @erikarn What a great #retrocomputing story - another #Acorn #Electron saved ;-) Perhaps some folks over at StarDot could use a similar fix for their aging Elks.
Can anyone recommend a *supported* embedded database for #nodejs that works well with #electron and can work with structured data?
The main recommendation seems to be SQLite, but that's a pain to use in Electron because it has native components. Many other options I've looked at haven't been updated in years, or else explicitly say they aren't maintained any more.
The #RocketLab crew will try again tonight, 12/18, at 6 pm to launch an #Electron rocket from #NASA's #Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. If it stays clear, you may see it soar above New England about 90 seconds after launch.
As some of you know, I'm helping to build a free and open-source transcription app for journalists called Stage Whisper.
Unfortunately, our lead front-end dev had to step away from the project a bit, so right now we're looking for some more #Electron, #Reactjs and #javascript devs to contribute: https://stagewhisper.org

it's going to be super bad for Mozilla's legacy if it turns out that Jack fucking Dorsey builds the alternative mobile OS that challenges the Apple/Google duopoly.
#Mozilla should've been all over projects like #Electron, #ChromeOS, #KaiOS and the #Framework laptop. Mozilla Foundation should've researched the future they wanted to build instead of dumping money into making Youtube (owned by their biggest competitor) slightly less fascist.
We should never forgive the the 2010s tech activism grift, flush with cash dedicated to making huge companies "less evil" despite a constant slide towards a barbaric technofuture. And for what? Who gives a shit about your design ethics when the whole thing can be wiped out in an instant by a strategic purchase.
Mozilla Corp and Foundation had access to talent, goodwill and community to be the leaders of a true alternative to FAANG.
Instead, the world's best browser is stagnant; infused with a featureless password manager, a resold third party VPN and a 'me too' email relay plugin.
The Foundation is busy attending to "trustworthy" AI, "re-imagining" web monetisation thru tech (a legislation issue) and trying to make their unaccountable competitors ethical. "New approaches to data stewardship," an absolute surrender to the violent status quo of the serialisation of everything.
In #Electron, has anyone built a `BrowserView` that tracks a (custom) element's size and position? The docs strongly encourage avoiding <webview> but embedding is hard to beat.
