Does this explain why the new native paint and notepad apps are so awful? I find these apps behaving like browser apps instead of a native applications. Also the right click menu sometimes paints/fills in instead of instantly appearing? How about context menus that are misplaced or impossible to read?

So maybe this explains why Windows takes 20 seconds to find Notepad when I search for it on the Start menu.

Sometimes it's like "Notepad? Never heard of it."

Let me search Bing for "notepad," since that's definitely something you want when you're searching the start menu.

So it turns out that it's just the "Recommended" section, and it's actually the Microsoft flavor of React Native that spits out real ~~Windows~~ (I think C++) code, but still...yeah.

What do you mean when you say it spits out real windows code?

[-] [email protected] 21 points 17 hours ago

Sorry, I think I must have had a small stroke while writing that. I think I meant C++.

It would be interesting to see the annual global power consumption from design choices like this.

Probably negligible compared to the bundled AI tools

Of so it's the ads that are react native apps. Double gross.

I don’t have any expertise or taken a look at it but this comment makes it so much worse: https://lemmy.ca/comment/16819736
