<p>nist's atomic spectroscopy group is about to get shuttered and uh</p><p>anyone got a link to zhat site of science archival projects?</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> Ah, got it. Then yeah, even more agreed.</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://wandering.shop/@xgranade" class="u-url mention">@<span>xgranade</span></a></span> i was mostly thinking about hardware, not apps</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> Yeah, and I definitely understand that. If Discord did something that truly depended on something unique to the Windows platform, I might feel differently, but this is a case where they&#39;re constraining themselves to cross-platform lowest common denominators, but then still isn&#39;t actually cross-platform.</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://wandering.shop/@xgranade" class="u-url mention">@<span>xgranade</span></a></span> there&#39;s an interesting tension here, where the same people decry lack of cross-platform support, and also complain that today&#39;s computers are a boring, commodified slop without the field offering anything new or exciting</p>

<p>Anyway, in my own personal experience, 90% of the cases where Linux is harder to use than Windows boil down to some proprietary developer doing something incredibly weird and not making that hack work cross-platform.</p>
<p>App developers stop reimplementing basic UI features provided by the OS challenge (impossible).</p>
<p>Discord just updated to have a useless double titlebar, as is all too common for &quot;cross-platform&quot; software that&#39;s basically Windows software with a Linux build as an afterthought.</p><p>If you have your own custom titlebar, first... why? And second, you *can* make that work under Linux, too.</p>
