I don’t know about the UX, but if you want peoples to use your app, it need to look nice.

If only it didn’t looked like a 20 year old software.

Of course, I don’t understand why people think it’s “unecessary”.
Do they never do exploratory work and do thing they are uncomfortable with ?
It’s a tool, if i’m in a codebase I know well, it’s often pretty useless.
But I started writing some python, I’m a python noob, copilot is a gigantic productivity booster.

I browsed author own codebase and the first thing I saw is 150 lines of C# reimplementing functions available in the .NET standard lib.

An LLM that propose autocompletion for whole line/function.

the most recent Cloudflare drama.

It was made up by a shitty illegal crypto casino:

They’ve been known to fuck customers before but I can’t really find specific examples.

Of course you can’t find specific examples because they are known to be great with customers.

If you look at the code of one of the “malicious code”, it hit a … local IP, not a remote one.

Fake news headline. There is no virus installed on millions of computer.
An extension typosquatting an extension with million of install managed to be installed a few hundred of times.

Free labor is something hard to find

When you are bored, backup a VM then hard kill it and see if it manage to restart properly.
Software should be able to recover from that.
If it doesn’t, troubleshoot.

They didn’t succeeded because they were good, but because they were popular.
Browser devtools are very inferior to java/.net devtools, except the network tab from the browser, only thing the language I gave as example lack.

This is exactly what the browsers have been doing for decades and why the developer experience with html/css is infuriating.

Reading the title without seeing the category name …

You could do it, you just had to run your terminal as administrator.
Just right click the terminal, and “Run As Administrator”.

Where I live, for 45€ you get 800GB, not 8TB :').

My statement was to dunk on the “that’s capitalism fault”, to not have nice software. My OSS example is a counter example.

Do you twist my word on purpose maybe ?
I wrote:

Most OSS software have UX thats sucks

my point was that software developed without money incentive in mind are not nicer either

And now you say: “So you’re saying, that UIs are only good, if the user of the software pays for it directly”.

Can you make a reply without twisting my words in the process ?

Have you used Microsoft Word, Windows or SAP lately?

Yes for the first two.

Your entire argument sounds more like you really want to believe Atlas Shrugged was a documentary, and not like an analysis.

I’m not American, I don’t get your references.

PS: On lemmy, “Show context”, is a button, not a link, you can’t open it in a new tab, you cannot keep the context of what you are writing.
Voting a comment while replying delete what you are writing.

The two thing you sent are not paid software. Giving example of something that make it’s UX shit on purpose is almost a good comparison to OSS software.
Again, there are good counterexample that made UX that are ahead their paid counterpart, but it’s an exception, not the rule.

Author point that we can’t have nice software because of capitalism, my point was that software developed without money incentive in mind are not nicer either.
Their merit is to be free and open, and that’s why a lot of people will use it, not because it has a better UI.

Most OSS software have UX thats sucks (with big execptions of course!) compared to their paid alternative, is it because of capitalism ? :D
Also, dishwasher sucks now, not because of the shitty software on it, but because regulations make them not draw too much power, so now my dish are not dry when the dishwasher is done.
