We live in the year AUC 2779, or AUC MMDCCLXXVIII in Roman numerals.
Ab Urbe Condita, often abbreviated as AUC, means "From The Founding Of The City". It refers to the year of the founding of Rome, which was the Epoch used in Ancient Rome.
A rip off would be using the actual Photoshop source code.
This kind of thinking is what brought us the trend of painful Electron apps like Teams.
Why would influence perception in any way being an unrelated very niche hobby?
It should be the choice of the customer.
Imposing one option: only hard budget cap or only alerts is the wrong design decision.
We need to pay attention to the new Cambrian explosion of software. The attitude of "everyone already uses VSCode" should disappear, and people should be open to try more niche products.
After all, being a developer is no longer a moat, and smaller ecosystems can thrive now.
Someone expresses an emotion but doesn't know how to react to it, their inner group all have an opinion about it, and the consensus is selected as the "appropiate" reaction to it. The individuals who react this way will claim this consensus is the same as emotional intelligence.
Just as there are also people who react in one way, and completely disregard any external opinion about it. They simply have firm opinions and don't need the consensus.
I will not comment on who can belong to each group, that's an exercise for the reader.
It is top 6 in their vulnerabilities ranking.
This is definitely insecure design.

Also, everyone else using web platforms (Electron ugh...) for what should be desktop applications.
Space on disk, I have plenty. But the Electron version of many apps feels slow, sluggish, and it takes time to open, it takes time for every click to respond, it is the runtime cost what matters the most.
You say it is irrelevant? It makes a computer in 2026 feel just as fast as a computer from 2001, doing similar tasks, while the computer from 2026 is thousands of times faster.
And I definitely run more than one app at the same time.
This 300MB is the bare minimum used by these apps, in my example just an API tester. A simple "chat" app like Teams, Slack, or Discord wasting so many CPU cycles and so much memory is to me something that should feel like collective shame to our profession. Maybe that's why you disagree with me.
Bruno consumes 300MB in RAM. The alternative I am using consumes 25 MB and it is much faster.
The difference is not because some uncompressed PNG or some fonts, it's the Electron architecture that is wasteful, by design.
Haha. I completely replace the software with a non Electron alternative if available.
We do a lot of prevention and recovery testing.
So yes, it can happen.
