Huh, I wonder if this is why YouTube videos are just white rectangles on my VM. I had to just turn off hardware acceleration in chromium&#x27;s settings.

Huh, so this must be why chromium has been showing as a 100% transparent box with 90&#x27;s style mouse cursor glitching the past while.

Does electron explicitly use Wayland ozone? The default setting still uses x11 and wouldn&#x27;t be affected.

&gt; Electron 30.0.0 has been released! It includes upgrades to Chromium 124.0.6367.49Chromium 124 broke support for Wayland. I&#x27;ve had to downgrade to 123 to get it working again.Does it mean all apps upgrading to Electron 30 will also break?<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;issues.chromium.org&#x2F;issues&#x2F;329678163" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;issues.chromium.org&#x2F;issues&#x2F;329678163</a>

I preferred the native Windows API[^1] from the point of view of organization. In theory, you could use it to design the data flow in your application in whichever way you wanted. And yes, the operating word is &quot;design&quot;, meaning that you needed to be decent at architecting software. And this was before .Net and before many C++ facilities that would make life easier (e.g., std::shared_ptr, or even boost::shared_ptr), when making a large scale application in C&#x2F;C++ required some serious chops I was too young to have.[^1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;learn.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;windows&#x2F;win32&#x2F;winmsg&#x2F;using-messages-and-message-queues" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;learn.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;windows&#x2F;win32&#x2F;winmsg&#x2F;using...</a>

&gt; your only problem with events is you dont know how to write code that remains simpleYes, it&#x27;s the &quot;only&quot; problem. All the higher level languages, frameworks, programming paradigms are trying to tackle this problem.

Are people using frameworks to avoid writing event handlers?? I use them to avoid having to manually sync UI state with data structures.

your only problem with events is you dont know how to write code that remains simplereact and view frameworks arent the solution to that problem. react isnt even reactive - you still have to deal with event -&gt; repaint.react only tried to obscure that into a constraint language instead while actually hamstringing you and pushing the complexity elsewhereevents are here to stay and that&#x27;s a good thing. these reactive frameworks borne out of an attempt to avoid events or complexity don&#x27;t eliminate events or complexity - they make everything into an event or a necessarily complex structure in their attempt at pathological avoidance. the solution is factoring and proper honesty in your semantic names. but most people would rather blame their (very ample) tools than their skill or laziness or apathy.i will say async&#x2F;await is a big help for humans but synchronous code vs asynch as you may know is not the problem at hand here.

Not directly related, but compared with the event hell that UI development was twenty years ago, something like Vue.js (or React, but I haven’t used React) is a pleasure to work with. So it kind of makes sense to have something like electronjs that bridges blood-and-sweat-and-tears Javascript framework achievements with the world of desktop development.
