Angius··on F-Droid build servers can't build modern Android apps due to outdated CPUs
They clearly don't
Angius··on Developers are not happy with .NET MAUI, but nobody in the team cares about it
For .NET specifically, you would need to reach for 3rd party frameworks. Avalonia in particular is excellent.

> small team

Yes, we need to be more lenient on Microsoft. They're a tiny little startup after all, they barely have 10 employees and three of them are cleaners.

Angius··on Unity has seemingly silently removed its GitHub repo that tracks ToS changes
Under his rule, lootboxes were added to FIFA. He also famously mused about charging Battlefield players $1 for reloading their weapon, once they're immersed in the game enough to not want to break the flow
Angius··on W4 Games formed to strengthen Godot ecosystem
Besides no strict typing, Godot also has a huge issue with string-based development. Everything is a string. I'm surprised calling GDScript functions isn't done with string literals like "function"()
Angius··on The Case for C# and .NET
What hurdle?
Angius··on The Case for C# and .NET
It must be one old article, because what rounds the corner is .NET 7, while .NET 6 and minimal APIs have been available for a better part of a year already
Angius··on Nova Launcher has been acquired by Branch
Not quite as feature-rich, though. Once I started using Nova's subgrid and overlaying widgets, for example, it's very hard to go back to a launcher that doesn't allow them.
Angius··on Changes in the Rust Core Team
Ashley Williams is gone
Angius··on GitHub user sends notification to 400k users
It's not really authentication. Rather, a way of saying "yeah, I agree to the terms yadda yadda". Seeing how there's no other way of handling it right now, they're using what tools they have
Angius··on GitHub user sends notification to 400k users
Seeing how there's no other way, well...
Angius··on Java 18 / JDK 18: General Availability
Java turning more and more into poor man's C# with each release
Angius··on Safari: Point to specific bugs and missing support that frustrate you
Seems fairly simple. Here's a step-by-step tutorial to solving Safari's issues, if some Apple developer finds their way here. You're free to use it, I don't even want any consultation fees.

1. Go to https://caniuse.com

2. Work through the list of features

3. Make red squares go green

Weird, it does work for me... Perhaps try other snapshots? https://archive.fo/https://www.reddit.com/r/node/comments/6w...

You're right, seems I was misinformed and didn't do as much reading as I had to. Edited my comment to stop the misinformation from propagating.

This person being a prominent part of the Rust community definitely does not make me want to engage with it and does make me wary of the stability of the language as well: https://archive.fo/f10KK

Drama has already been dragged out. Now people are left to speculate and accuse. This thing from 4 years ago has been dug up, for example: https://archive.fo/f10KK and I can see it being the basis of some of those speculations.

Angius··on .NET 6 Released
XAML is good for structure, same way HTML is. But by god is styling it a major PITA of boilerplate nesting hell
Angius··on Embedded malware in RC (NPM package)
It's an attractive target. Other ecosystems (maybe besides Rust) rely on large packages with minimal dependencies, and those packages are often first-party (Entity Framework, for example).

NPM meanwhile is a neverending net of tiny oneliner packages, required by other oneliner packages, required by twoliner packages, required by single-function packages, required by... required by React. And thus, adding malware to `is-number` adds it to all 8766235452 packages that depend on it.

Angius··on Microsoft under fire again from open-source .NET devs: Hot Reload feature pulled

Angius··on Microsoft removes hot reload from open source .NET, locks it to Visual Studio
I haven't found a more pleasant language and ecosystem to use than C#. Where am I going to go, Java with its verbosity, so my projects double in LOCs? Rust, with its cliff of a learning curve and alien syntax?
Angius··on Microsoft removes hot reload from open source .NET, locks it to Visual Studio
It's, apparently, a couple thousands lines. It could, perhaps, even be made into its own separate tool. Haven't looked at it myself, though.
Angius··on Microsoft removes hot reload from open source .NET, locks it to Visual Studio
VS is great for desktop apps since it has the designer and some other tooling, but for everything else Rider is miles ahead, in my opinion.

Especially when it comes to web. Visual Studio still dies of stroke as soon as someone dares whisper the word "razor" in its vicinity, while Rider has no problem understanding Razor templates and providing full autocompletion.

Not to mention Rider is just straight out snappier. And has integrated terminal without any need for extensions.

Angius··on Microsoft removes hot reload from open source .NET, locks it to Visual Studio
Let's just say that this decision made me reinstall Elixir and open up Phoenix docs... I've been meaning to take a look at them and now I got the push.

Now, I don't think I'll rewrite my current projects in Elixir, far from it, but just in case...

Angius··on Microsoft locks .NET hot reload capabilities behind Visual Studio 2022
What's curious, is that the PR that introduces this change is the only PR on the repo that has discussion limited to collaborators only: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/22217
