> There's also Bevy, a rust game engine, which, if I'm not mistaken is built on egui(?)

Not entirely correct, they have bevy_ui as the in-house example but many people use the third party bevy_egui crate

To assume only altruistic intentions from Cuban, yes I would say it's a very good thing to support the people doing actually great work in the government.

My point is just that Cuban is supporting the problem that Musk is creating, albeit without putting himself entirely in a position where he could receive the ire of the public.

And just to reiterate, 18f has done great work, and if this is the only way for them to continue for the time being I guess so be it. I just don't agree with the chain of events that led here.

I think it's disingenuous to see what Cuban is doing as the thing that anyone would do because I would assume most would prefer to have more wealth if they could.

My issue comes from the fact that Cuban is then directly aiding and abetting the process that Musk is putting in place with DOGE, thus my concern.

With that in mind, asking "Well what would you do?" to justify the actions of putting a generally well regarded and good service into the hands of the private sector is a fundamental lack of scope on what's continuing to happen.

So Mark Cuban wants to lean into exactly what DOGE is pushing by putting himself in the middle of the Governmental to Private shift?

That doesn't surprise me and gives more evidence that Cuban is not dissimilar to Musk, just that he has much better PR.

My anecdote for the pile is that my apartment complex uses one of those apps to pay for laundry services, but is slightly less expensive than the coin based counterparts on the same machine.

What's even worse is that the app is incredibly poorly made such that occasionally some payments just fall into the void and either start the machine for free or require a double charge. Anytime I have reached out to complain about these I just get told to bring my phone closer to the machine.

I recently switched my (small) company over to using just files within our codebases and it's been going over very well thus far.

We're building a set of apps that need to run on Linux, MacOS, and Windows so having a consistent solution for each is better than shell scripting and I personally have never felt great about make and it's weirdness.

It also helps that we have a pretty big monorepo so that anyone can bounce from one app to another and `just run` to use any of them, no matter the platform.

Either way the justification for me came from COSMIC[0].
