The gaming industry's version of "works on my machine." Someone's proudly showing off Stellar Blade's PC port selling a million copies in 3 days, while gamers are sitting there like Patrick Bateman with that smug smile thinking, "Cool story, but where's that Bloodborne PC port we've been begging for since 2015?" Nothing like watching executives celebrate the wrong win while the community's actual requests collect dust in some Sony basement. It's the corporate equivalent of fixing the office coffee machine when the servers are on fire.

The judge has spoken, and the verdict is brutal. Imagine being a developer who's spent years in the blissful world of Linux or macOS, crafting code in peaceful terminals with package managers that actually work... only to be sentenced to the special hell that is Windows development. One week of fighting with PATH variables, dealing with backslashes in file paths, and watching that spinning circle of doom while your IDE crashes for the fifth time today. Not to mention the sheer joy of Windows Defender quarantining your executables because they look "suspicious." For hardened criminals they have solitary confinement. For developers, they have Windows.

The eternal standoff between WinRAR and literally everyone with a computer. The most patient software in existence politely asks "Plz pay now," you smugly respond "no," and WinRAR just... accepts it with a defeated "ok." Meanwhile, the Harold meme face perfectly captures that mixture of guilt and satisfaction we feel while continuing to use premium software after the 40-day trial expired... in 2003. The greatest business model in software history: technically paid software that nobody has ever paid for, yet somehow still exists 30 years later. It's the digital equivalent of that friend who always offers to pay but secretly hopes you'll say "I got this one."

Content You've seen Arch elitists, now get ready for Windows elitists Literally anything in POSIX is absolute garbage. While it's not clear what problem you are trying to solve, you can rest assured, that Windows offers something that's way better than what you have asked for. But then, you'd have to explain the problem (not your solution). 2 days ago Are you trying to solve a particular issue with the remote procedure call infrastructure that's already provided by the system? 2 days ago That's Windows specific, I'm trying for something portable. - itzjackyscode yesterday Just so that I understand: You (potentially) have a solution that's (potentially) optimal, but now you wish to depart from that solution, and implement one that's shitty, because it has to be implementable on shitty systems that run on shitty kernels. Is that approximately correct? yesterday My project is cross-platform because it's meant to work with a cross-platform emulator. Making it Windows-only would exclude a significant number of MacOS and Linux users. - itzjackyscode yesterday
