Try Reigns, while it's not a super realistic simulator either and is also mostly focused on balancing a few stats, it does have more lore and decision results beyond that.
This link is for some shitty and obviously vibecoded website that stole an indie game from itch.io and monetized it through ads without giving any credit to the developer.
Drewdevault is a weird guy with enough of his own problems (one of which your link explains), but that doesn't make his judgement of DHH any more or less factual.
That's ok, I don't think anyone knows how to properly write Julia. After using it for a while and following the community (watching talks, checking the forum etc), I don't think it has a concept of code quality. You just throw random code at the wall until it starts working. Which makes sense, considering most of the users are scientists.
Low level hardware access for opening a file and a network port? Those are some of the first lessons in any programming tutorial. If they aren't available, what is the OS even doing?
Also, for all intents and purposes, GMS is part of the Android OS, but Google had to branch it off, to keep it closed source.
AirDrop doesn't open a network port, it creates a WiFi Aware advertisement and a WiFi Direct connection. However I thought this also should not need OS-level changes, just android.permission.NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES permission.
AirDrop is based on AWDL, which is a proprietary protocol that requires low-level access to the Wi-Fi radio to implement. Apple told the EU that they have long-term plans to migrate from AWDL to the standard Wi-Fi Aware, but have not yet done so (and the EU did not require them to, only that they bring their Wi-Fi Aware support for third-party apps to feature parity).
As someone with no experience with either of those two services, I read that description and had no idea what Workday does. So I thought, maybe their homepage will explain it better.
> Manage HR, finance, and all your AI agents. All in one place.
> Elevate the potential of your people and boost productivity across your organization with human-AI collaboration.
> Turn AI into ROI faster and deliver transformational outcomes driven by trust, agility, and data readiness you can rely on.
> 11,000+ organizations worldwide trust Workday.
Huh?
Sure, whatever, I'm not even surprised about them trying to cram AI buzzwords into every sentence, I'm used to that by now. But what's the deal with enterprise products having marketing which only makes sense to people who already use the product? Not a single sentence on their homepage explains what their product does.
Ok, let's assume I've heard about Workday and know it's a tool for HR. I want to evaluate it, so, naturally, I click the "HR solutions" link on their homepage, and get to yet another page full of buzzwords that does nothing to help me understand the service they offer.
There's some marketing advice that customers care about solving their problem and not how your solution works. I think this often gets misapplied to turn simple and comprehensible products into vague blobby messes. The customers don't care how your scooters work, but they know what scooters are. They don't know what "get your daily errands done hassle free" means.
Plus if you describe yourself in very high level terms, then your addressable market is bigger and you can get more money from investors.
While I agree a lot of open source messenger services have terrible UX, I don't think "the masses" care about it that much. What matters is what everyone else is using. People are using Snapchat or Instagram Messenger and I haven't seen a single person who likes the UX of those services - they just use it and put up with hatred for it because that's what all their friends use.
