I hear this argument often, but I haven't heard a convincing argument. Why? Lack of storage? No. Lack of computing power or RAM? No. Then?

That's one way of looking at it, but remember that Electron is better and free even if you don't release your code. On mobile, you have Flutter, React Native... In this situation, why would anybody want to go with Qt, unless they have an existing, legacy codebase? Who's starting new projects in Qt?

Qt is not bad but it's also not as good as Electron. It doesn't look native (unless you're myopic), it's slower than native, it's quirky, it's buggy... it's cross-platform on paper because when you manage to build your app on another platform you'll see half of it doesn't work well... and on top of that, it costs money. A lot of money. No wonder it lost.

On one hand I understand it's good to have competition. On the other, I'm happy that bad solutions lose. That's the way of the market.

The EU doesn't have a tech sector and is therefore very happy to destroy the services from other countries with stupid regulations. This is pretty clear after the cookie banners.

No they don't. When my browser tells me it's finished loading the page I expect the page to be completely loaded.

Used to happen to me with some sites, what I did was 1) remove all the history of that domain so typing re<enter> would google "re" instead of autocompleting to reddit.com and 2) adding reddit.com to my ad blocker so I couldn't visit it at all.

Regarding apps, just delete them.

Right. I read "GIMP has been ported to GTK+3" and all I can think is "parts of it will look broken and using some dialogs will make it crash"

Exactly, but don't ask Manolo Escobar about it, since it's somewhat of a sensitive issue for him.

You use VPNs with more or less the same result.

Don't be mislead by that map, everybody in those regions that say "Basque" or "Catalan" know Spanish perfectly well.

Carro is not used in Spain at all.

You missed the word "like" in his comment.
