  • I disagree that it’s a waste of time or that only gullible people use it. A WAF (enabled to block malicious requests) is a cheaper and quicker solution to throw and still get some benefits.

    I’ve seen that even in some large (non-FAANG or whatever) companies, budgets for security are always very tight or not available. Practically, it’s easier to kick the can down the road with a WAF.

    For enterprise applications deployed for specific clients, if at all there are issues because of the WAF, they’d quickly bubble up through standard support mechanisms.

  • How is it on older or budget hardware though? It’s been a long time since I tried KDE, and in between even worked with Xfce because Gnome was a bit more resource intensive. Is it still the case that in terms of hardware specs and demand of the hardware, KDE needs/uses more than Gnome? I guess Xfce will be in a different league capability wise and resource requirement wise.

  • Gram [1] is a fork of Zed with all these removed. It seems to depend on more involvement from others to keep it going though.

    Tangentially, even native can be badly designed and developed, performance wise. Even Apple hasn’t been able to do a good job with the Reminders app (one of the several apps ported to Mac with the same level of negligence that Electron brings in). I use a lot of Reminders and lists in Reminders. It’s janky and poorly coded.
