you know that most computer printers print whatever paper you use with a ,invisible to the naked eye, code that lets agencies or whoever has access to a tool able to reveal the code have knowledge on where the paper was printed from and what type of printer was used?
even paper is compromized
Only color printers. Black n White is safe.
And who needs color anyway. Monochrome masterrace.
What stops proprietary software from being stolen? Denuvo worked for awhile but not anymore, you can't stop piracy.
You're more shit FECK ARSE DRINK GIRLS
No I'm not.
The thing about Holla Forums is that everyone is a LARPing kid undergrad who has never written any code. Most companies use Windows to develop, and a lot of tools available from hardware vendors are written in .NET. Why, you may ask?
Because the quality is much better. I mean, on Linux, you write your programs with some kind of colorful notepad, at best in a subpar IDE like Code::Blocks or Eclipse, and as a result they end up being full of bugs, while also being a time consuming process. On Windows, you have Visual Studio, which has Intellisense and Team Services integrated right into it. It's an IDE by the real world, for the real world.
Same with the Windows API. Hacking together a simple app is very easy in Windows, even if you're foolish enough to do it in C++, but on Linux you never know where to begin. Is it an X window? Do we use GTK? Qt? What is the style going to be? And then the code ends up being a mess and a headache.
All in all, Windows in a superior OS for programming, and the opinion of Holla Forums is irrelevant.
A few Xerox printers actually did this back in 2006, they printed serial numbers and a timestamp in almost invisible yellow color on each paper.
I'm taking bait, here goes.
You cannot know that. Stop projecting.
Because Microsoft has a monopoly and vendor lock-in?
LOL
Why does it matter what kind of IDE/editor you use? A good programmer can code in whatever and still not have bugs, it depends on experience.
I find neovim to be easier to code in than most.

You must be shitposting. Win32 is the bane of existence of Windows programmers.
Exactly, hacking together, not making one properly.
The only part of this post that I agree.
You just look at your options and use it. You want to create a single small thing with not much GUI but more custom rendering, you go pure X11. You want to create a GUI but want to use C, you go GTK. You want to program complex GUIs effectively, you go Qt.
That's not related to programming but to design.
Same with Windows, code doesn't become spaghetti just because it's written in a Unix environment.
Only if you use Microsoft's products, goy.
Every opinion is just that, an opinion. There is no such thing as an objective opinion. There is, however, a consensus, and it may be irrelevant for you.
Please stay in #Holla Forums.
Not the user you responded.
It goes further than that.
Microsoft cloned the way that adobe made it's entry into the graphic world.
meaning that MS invested shit tons in schools to make people learn their shit language implementation and other product.
Thus reinforcing a lot the dependencies on proprietary tools/software.
