microsoft winned
>>108509882The existence of competition has nothing to do with a company being a monopoly. Microsoft was considered a monopoly because they forced OEMs to sign agreements requiring them to only use windows on their computers. I can’t tell if you’re just ragebaiting or you’re genuinely retarded, either way I’m not giving you anymore (You)s.
>>108497038Me was hot garbage, XP SP5 was great. 3.1 was GOAT and 95 wasnt bad.
>>108510032Read a dictionary, pablo. Words have meanings.
>>108506940And dozens upon dozens of lazy devs hard-coded their colors.There are custom themes for Win11 that dark theme Win32 UI, and Microsoft could do the same. But because of those lazy devs they don't want to open up to the liability of some corposlave having issues using software from 1997 they need to use in dark mode because whoever wrote it back then didn't give a shit about respecting the Win32 API so we're stuck in the decades old Windows bodge parade. Bring your own dark theme! (warranty void if used)
If Microsoft has ANY SENSE, they build on the success of the .NET/C# team.Develop a WinForms successor that is cross platform, Windows/Mac/Linux. Exportable to the web as well kind of like Avalonia. Simple drag and drop style native UI design with the ability to tweak and refine in the code. Make this a part of the transition to native UI.This shit would do numbers and wreck the current landscape. Everyone is dead fucking tired of working on front end sloppo for even the smallest apps and internal tools. The OG WinForms was a gateway drug for getting into C# itself because it was so easy and streamlined to work with for any kind of basic app.

hello /g/. Recently ive been working on a project for some time now, it took me a while but atleast i am satisfied with what i did, i present the Think Operating System, Or ThinkOS. its written in bare metal assembly, with some features[as you can see in the picture], it has a bootloader, a terminal with some nifty commands, and more. it can even run DOOM
>>108508874nope it isnt DOS based. i just made a demake of DOOM
>>108506835usually when people post an OS they post the VM window since it obviously cannot be ran on a device
>>108507003
april fools was yesterday
>>108506854Hes already writing it in assembly. What does he need a compiler for?
What are some dead programming languages and frameworks? This piece of shit is rightfully mocked on hacker news and reddit. I don’t understand how anybody could ever tolerate a dynamically typed language. Static types are necessary for a language being a useful engineering tool and not some entry level, poorly scaling baby crayons.

do people like authenticator apps?i broke my phone and got locked out of my bank, steam, post office and other things.everysingle one needed an authenticator or some app i didn't have access to anymore.i had to take out my sim and plug it into another phone to end up using the sms verification stuff, if i didn't have another phone, i'd be screwed.do people enjoy this? like are jobs made solely for this so they won't go away?I'm honestly so lost why things need to be so complex now, where just not having a single device causes so many issues
>>108507866Google Authenticator backs up to to your Google account nowadays. Aegis has a back up feature too that it will nag you about if you haven't backed up your data. You have to be a complete retard to have lost your auth app access.
>>108507871Which shouldn't they?
No. They're still better than fucking email 2fa because if you lose your email address, you are locked out for life. You can't back up a gmail address, but you can back up your authenticator keys. Not with google authenticator though, I use aegis.
>>108507866i have authenticator on my phone for my work VPN. i've thought about what a pain in the ass it would be if my phone died. then i stopped caring because it's mr. shekelberg's problem. all forms of authentication and 2FA are fucking retarded. whoever invented this nonsense is going to be tortured in hell for all eternity.
>>108508153Most normie apps sell your data so at this point I think the best defense you could have is unironically writing your stuff in pencil on a sticky note or a real life notepad.The average internet zoomer is afraid of leaving their house so anything in your physical house is safe. If the state busts into your house thats a different can of worms but they have backdoors etc anyway so whatever.If I get hacked somehow then I'll worry about it then. Hasn't happened yet.
What are you working on, /g/?Previous: >>108471984
>>108506581>What alternative do I have?functions, nigger, functions
>>108504739the one thing I like about msvc is that it just works with address sanitizer and vcpkg.mingw gcc does not support address sanitizer, but clang does (llvm-mingw).Clang-cl requires /MT /MTd for address sanitizer which is annoying (you don't need to rebuild vcpkg unless a library uses the C library).Clang has ubsan (it does a lot of things) which is kind of neat since it converts __builtin_unreachable into an error unlike msvc's __assume(false). In C /C++, Debug builds usually don't mean "Debug This". It just means "generate debug info".Msvc has better sane Debug defaults in cmake / VS projects (RTC is similar~ to ubsan but asan is 100x more useful).gcc/clang will not enable warnings by default...Also you can avoid cmake by using VS projects and it works with vcpkg. And clang-cl works in VS.Vcpkg is ideal for windows because it will copy DLL's for you (personally my issue with mingw is more C++ related, since in C you don't need any DLL's since mingw just uses msvc's C library. You could statically link BUT I like DLL's).Also note that on mingw/linux, all your functions are public. You need -fvisibility=hidden, but now your debugger wont work at all with optimized code.On MSVC (and clang-cl) you get no info on a "Release" build". So you can't even use a debugger. cmake's RelWithDebInfo is close enough but it should also have /OPT:REF to reduce size...Also linux has a lot of thread debugging tools (valgrind/thread sanitizer), if you are not using threads, there is no point to using linux. Dr Memory is identical to valgrind (asan does not check uninitialized memory bugs, unlike valgrind/dr memory, but it's so slow).Also asan on linux will detect leaks, which I find annoying since graphical libraries tend to create false positives.One reason why msvc wont make a pdb file for a release, is probably because it will leak the full path (this is only an issue if you build in your desktop, but I like keeping asserts enabled on release).

>>108509893Network cameras are not evil. Not controlling the software on your networked camera is evil. Learn the difference. If you control the software, the police or whoever is misusing it will have to go through normal legal channels to obtain the footage (unless you - a chud - give it to them willingly)

Is it a controversial opinion on /g/ to say that I preferred when TVs didn't have their own OS frontend?I'm not saying linear TV didn't have it's problems but at least it always felt like it did what I wanted, not what it thought I wanted.The golden middle-ground was when you connected a streaming stick to a HDMI port on your dumb-TV.

Freedom to fork things that work instead of improving them.Freedom to rewrite things that work instead of improving them.Freedom to have things not working because the developers have to account for a billion different configurations.Freedom to incorrectly configure your machine and cause obscure cryptic issues that seem unrelated and impossible for other people to replicate without taking the same steps.Freedom to have inferior software because the developers can't assert the user environment.Basically, freedom to fuck it up in every step of the way.MacOS "just works" because they control the hardware and the software.Windows "just works" because the user has no control over the entire OS stack.Linux "works in your machine" because you happened to have a similar environment as a specific developer.After using Linux for so long I treat so many things as minor inconveniences (like different display/audio protocols supporting different features, how enabling the compositor fucks specific games, and so on) that would never happen on any other OS.I just don't feel like Linux will ever go anywhere as long as things keep fracturing whenever they reach past a certain size. Having a BDFL in your project seems to work well but I don't know if that's a good solution, it won't stop people from forking your shit instead of contributing to a single effort.Comment too long.
