Electron Band Structure in Germanium, My Ass

An #electron trapped in 0.1 nm box give me "wACKy iNflATaBLe aRm flAILinG tUBe mAN" vibes. I can't stop giggling. The initial state is a ground state infinite square-well where you suddenly double the box size. Summed over 50 Fourier components. #Science #Physics #QuantumMechanics #Python

A new exploit that bypasses Windows Defender Application Control and leverages an advanced Command and Control (C2) method called Loki has been found.

This goes to all application developers whose app shows a loading screen with "Fetching account info..." or "Getting things ready..." or similar:

What exactly is your app doing? Serious question.

I like Theo's take on #Electron in:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=WdmfFmwsGDo

Pretty much all his views and opinions are sound, and I agree. Sure there are many really crap uses of it, but that is not Electron's fault.

I also agree about that the risk is #Chromium gets stronger as the defacto web-standard, controlled largely by one company. But that isn't Electron's fault either.

The lack of alternative browser engines are, and currently #Mozilla is screwing up the only real alternative there is today.

If you've wondered what's going on with the recent #mozillafirefox #firefox kerfuffle @gardiner_bryant has posted a video that is a good catch-up and throws a little water https://youtu.be/m_TdA7AdTww Though my job as a software developer means I use a lot of browsers and platforms for testing my non-testing use is currently : #Safari in #MacOS, FireFox on #windows and #LibreFox on #Linux. So I'm chrom(e/ium) free... except all those pesky #Electron apps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There is no native storyboard solution on Linux. The best solution for Linux is #Krita Storyboard Docker. https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/dockers/storyboard_docker.html

The most popular solution is a #Electron app that uses web technologies.
https://wonderunit.com/storyboarder/ and according to #GitHub page, the last update was 3 years ago. https://github.com/wonderunit/storyboarder

And every other solution usually recommends using an online service that tends to charge a monthly fee.

#Electron apps cannot be resized on #Wayland anymore, at least on #GNOME. Given that GNOME defaults to Wayland nowadays, I wonder why so few people experience this problem, since it affects VS Code, Signal, Discord, and so on.
