[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @_jvn_e @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess @OBSProject why? it works

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @_jvn_e @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess @OBSProject youre right! download buttons already exist! like the perfectly good ones in the releases section!!

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @_jvn_e @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess @OBSProject but it doesnt always, and it also doesnt show whether you want portable or installed

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @_jvn_e @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess @OBSProject this is such a non-solution that it doesnt address the OBS example you provided, or the sherlock example that kicked this whole discourse off

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @_jvn_e @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess @OBSProject right but that only addresses the concern of getting the right OS. not the right ISA or release or packaging or myriad other things im forgetting

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@zoomerbread @failoppo @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess that's correct but it feels odd to be so vocal on this and not know that

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @_jvn_e @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess @OBSProject theyre not github's fault, correct, but for some reason you still want github to handle them

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess no i mean non-code backups

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess why should it need to be both? some people also erroneously use it for backups, so is that a service github needs to start offering?

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @_jvn_e @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess @OBSProject you also still only addressed a portion of the concerns lol

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @_jvn_e @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess @OBSProject usually it's bad ui and poor ux to have a button that lies to you about what it does

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess why would you ever admit that

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess windows is also officially paywalled

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @_jvn_e @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess @OBSProject what if the user agent is wrong? why are we assuming wine works flawlessly? why should wine be the default choice when there may very well be perfectly serviceable linux binaries?

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess you dont get to fully write off everybody else if windows has no nines in its market share lol

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @_jvn_e @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess @OBSProject what if theyre using windows on arm? what if theyre not using windows at all? how would this handle portable vs installed? what if the pipeline results in a binary that's named differently? what if there is no binary? what if the latest isnt a stable release?

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess went to look in my list of talks and this is probably not the best one (i dont remember which lol!) but

banaszek literally brings up a very basic version of this point in the first couple minutes of ux pitfalls. like the first question asked

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess excessive optimization for the design sensibilities of the tech-illiterate necessitates a less powerful final product. sacrificing usefulness for the intended demographic on the altar of universal effortless accessibility is silly

[lia 🔞 @girlinterlacing]

@failoppo @zoomerbread @_jvn_e @bnuuyhopping @inkblotPrincess @OBSProject what would that button do?
