megacorp-scale software projects are so unsustainable. if your project's source code is larger than a gigabyte or takes more than a few minutes to compile… god, i'd rather sacrifice a months of my time writing a smaller alternative than have to suffer through building it

@hikari I refuse to believe that anyone, anywhere has ever actually compiled chrome. the binaries are some sort of divine artifact

@0xabad1dea @hikari https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef-project#build

@saagar @hikari why... is the first word I see "spotify"

@0xabad1dea @hikari So the thing with CEF is that it takes forever to build so basically the official way to use it is you download Spotify’s precompiled binaries and ship those

@hikari @saagar @0xabad1dea yep. I have a GitHub Action compile the library for all the platforms I need and then upload them as binary blobs to the repo afterwards. compiling them all independently would be a full-time job 🥲
