<p>They've already made a few attempts over the years (Windows Subsystem for UNIX comes to mind), neither really caught on, except WSL.<p>I also don't quite get why one would want such a setup - why not just use MSYS2 or WSL? As it is, it's just a mishmash of CMD builtins, Windows utils, Powershell, and these Coreutils. Will one have to use CMD-style (%var%) variables or will it be the POSIX way ($var)? Also just keeping in mind when to use /s or -s style switches, which version gets invoked depending on the PATH, PS aliases, etc. is just a lot of mental overhead for seemingly little advantage over WSL.</p>

<p>They say they're a software developer from a poor country looking for someone willing to leave their laptop on overnight for a 50% split of the paycheck. I got one a long time ago, they even mentioned they need help because their can't do the work from an IP of their country. Needless to say I just trashed the email and only figured out it was one of those after reading about the NK employee scandal on here.</p>

<p>In my experience, Google Translate is still so much worse than even free ChatGPT at translating that it is unusable for anything you want to put out and have it seem at least somewhat professional.<p>Especially the voice, ChatGPT seems to infer the formality and overall tone much better than Google Translate. YMMV.</p>

<p>> The current youth in Europe are the first generation in decades to see worse living standards than their parents<p>This just isn’t the case in my country and most of Central/Eastern Europe at all. I’m under 30, when my parents were my age, this country had just started recovering from communism.<p>Besides, there’s more to economy than just AI. If anything, I’d rather see my tax money invested into multiple different fields than having it gambled on a single hyped tech field that might as well turn out to not be so easily profitable or world changing in the end.</p>

<p>Each EU member state has their own stock market and you often can't trade the stocks from one country through the stock exchange in another. This means that if you want to offer EU-wide stock options, you either have to convince everyone to fly to your country and register at your country's stock exchange (which few will bother doing), or go through the process of filing and managing stocks of your company at 20+ different stock exchanges.<p>It's one of the things that have been recently brought up again in the EU parliament, but getting everyone to agree on a common stock market is not going to be easy.</p>

<p>Because most people in the EU <i>outside of the tech field</i> care more about the welfare policies and overall quality of life than some ambitious tech projects of a few random private companies, from which they're unlikely to directly benefit from, especially when those are located outside of their member state.</p>

<p>It's still going to be faster than creating and moving around a bunch of NSViews simply because the WebView (native WebView, not Electron) renders the entire content at once, directly on the graphics pipeline, skipping all layout and compositor steps that get done on normal NS(Text)Views.<p>The key point here is to use the WebView only for the text view. Where it goes wrong is when people start writing entire interactive UIs in the WebView.<p>The other option would be PDFKit, but most people aren't nearly as comfortable programming with PDF as they are with HTML.</p>

<p>My experience too, and that's not even touching the disproportionately high RAM usage of frameworks like Electron. Sure, "unused RAM is wasted RAM", until the system starts swapping heavily because of the high RAM usage.<p>It doesn't even have to be old devices, there are still laptops being sold with 8GB of RAM in 2026.</p>

<p>My Honda Civic gets the speed wrong almost 100% of the time in Slovenia where intersections automatically cancel out non-zoned speed limit signs (so no crossed out signs that the car could read). Luckily it doesn’t beep or nag about it.<p>(Which makes me wonder, is there a flag set to make it not beep on cars sold here? Cuz otherwise people would be returning them en masse)</p>

<p>Which in some ways is what happened here in Slovenia. We used to be doing much better than other communist countries (as a part of Yugoslavia), exited relatively peacefully, entered the EU, and everything seemed to be going great until the 2008 financial crisis.<p>Then it seems our politicians stopped being pragmatic and started bringing up ideological issues more often, which divided the population, while IMO not doing nearly enough to promote further development of the economy.<p>So now we have a population split on ideological issues, while Poland and Croatia are overtaking us economy-wise. We have had every advantage (geographically at the crossroads of multiple trade routes, sea access, EU funds, hard-working population, didn't turn into a Russia-style oligarchy...) but mostly slept on it.</p>
