    Yeah, I’m totally seeing why using qqwing was easier, better and more robust.

    It’s the all-around-better way to do that and the developers of that thing probably already spend more time thinking about those problems than we’ll ever do.

    But… fun? :-D




  • nah

    that’s some age old struggle

    idk how people still justify that clusterfuck, but it’s that way since forever. I remember vividly how we were annoyed by such shit with some “cross platform” gui toolkits (or browsers) back when debian woody still was relevant.

    This won’t be solved in this decade. or the next.










  • depends on the app

    you have something to access some cloud-api-stuff? yeah, probably all calls fail

    some game that uses hardware-specific things? might break too

    your average clock app or document viewer? that got a decent chance it’ll still run.

    It’s a question of how fast your OS changes and how mature APIs have gotten. Android is a lot more stable now, than it was 12 years ago.

    And if you look at truly mature OSes, like Linux or Windows, you probably can still run most apps that are multiple decades old. (For Win that means pretty much anything that was written for Win32(s) and newer - so even stuff that was around on Win 3.11)
