Re:Discord is ditching Electron and its new app uses less RAM by HoldOnAMinute on Thursday November 05, 2026 @01:18PM (#50382417)
Your use of "lazy" here really comes off as "ableist".

"I can do it, and you didn't do it, therefore you must be lazy, because I certainly am not lazy"

What's lazy is not diving into the reasons that people may or may not do things.

So, you're saying that the person you're responding to is really saying, "Developers are too disabled to write native applications"? No, that's nonsense. "Laziness" is not the reason for Electron applications, but disability is an even worse diagnosis.

Incidentally, I think it's kind of ableist to throw around the concept of ableism in places it doesn't make sense. Disability is a set of concrete barriers corresponding to real solutions which do not get the funding and consideration they deserve. Disability is not "when some people do a thing and others don't."
