I mean Minecraft has always been multiplatform, so I don't know if that's a very good example.

microsoft released minecraft on vita after sony had abandoned the platform themselves

it's kinda hard to tell, there appears to be only that one photo of it, and a bunch of people claiming it's a shop, but no confirmation either way. the photo itself was posted on reddit originally by the looks of it

it is poop from a butt. it fucks up rendering forms so badly it's ridiculous. PDF has one loving job, and edge cannot accomplish it

this wouldn't matter, but windows likes to decide at random that what you actually want is your pdf defaults reset to edge. at which point people whose jobs involve working with PDFs from the bank or the government start getting cranky because their poo poo is all broken, for no loving reason.

the sooner microsoft nukes the last vestiges of edge and jams chromium in its place, the better.

at least then when their bullshit decides to reset app preferences there's a chance things will still work to some degree

oh cool august rollup did something to search that causes the cpu to be maxed out for the rare and totally unheard of fringe use case of not sending local searches to loving bing
if only there was some way of searching one's own computer without using the internet but alas, such technology is impossible.
