Imagine if every time you resized a window on your PC, the window got killed and restarted, and you see why bugs like that arise.
It'd be one thing if it was when the app is backgrounded, but no, even if you have one app running on your entire device, the UI be torn down.
It's insanity that in 2022 a major operating system is still doing that, and yet here we are with no end in sight.
- smoldesu 4y agoThere's a lot of insane things about modern operating systems. For example, some OSes don't even let you buy software without first paying the hardware manufacturer. Crazy stuff, we should really encourage regulators to bring these companies to their knees.
- BoorishBears 4y agoIt's certainly crazy if you don't know better. The 48 billion in revenue the Play Store hit last year would tell you that regardless of security policy, people tend to use first party app stores on mobile. But you know what? Maybe instead we should discourage people from clumsily trying to push their pet agenda the moment their favorite sports team (erm excuse me, Operating System) is painted in a poor light. But we can't all get what we want can we?
