This is weird. "Windows-native" as a selling point -- does this support Linux/BSD? Why is it marketing for Windows when I'm viewing the page on Mac?

- rezaprima 3mo agoI believe they mean "the windows version does not need WSL layer", as stated right after that
- LoganDark 3mo agoI mean sure? But WSL isn't a problem for me on Mac, so its presence makes me feel like the product is Windows-specific.
- anon7000 3mo agoWell yeah, AI loves to focus on things that sound important but aren’t actually that important. Like “unapologetically native.” Um, no one is shaming native apps. There’s no actual drama here. But of course the AI doesn’t actually think, it’s just adding text that looks shiny and important and catchy
- UqWBcuFx6NV4r 3mo agoThe bar for “weird” is so low these days. “It’s so weird that they haven’t put the effort into agent-sniffing to tailor their marketing content!!”.
- vitally3643 3mo agoIt's weird to see anything advertised as "Windows native" because for the last three decades it was the expected norm for any new software to be Windows-first if not Windows-only. It's like saying your program is PC compatible. What else would it be?
- jorisw 3mo agoHence the "even on Windows". Christ, you people sure know how to make a problem where there isn't one
- LoganDark 3mo agoI mean it's weird that Windows-native is practically in their headline with no mention of other operating systems except in barely-readable tiny transparent text? Like, it took me a while to figure out whether they supported other platforms at all.
- explodes 3mo agoFor macos, the mention of a brew installation is pretty a dead giveaway. Right under the headline.
- jorisw 3mo agoNative "even on" Windows, it says. There are people using Windows at work
