>tfw you pretty much have to develop proucts as an web app

why does it feel like the current arc in technology is to try and get people to run ever more software without having to install it or think about anything ever

how does this even work from a security standpoint, it seems like we're going backwards

IT disabling local install privileges because they just had it up to here retards installing spywares and come crying to IT to get it fixed.

Because of this, if someone want to run something on his work computer, and it's available in local install form only, he will likely give up rather than go through the ordeal of convincing the IT he really needs it and it doesn't contain malware or other security/management risks.

if you can't install it, it's not important and your users don't need it anyway

Discord is a great example of this. Tons of people I support run discord on their computers via the web app. I am sure management doesn't like it but they never told me or my boss to do something about it.

It cuts both ways too because service now is a webapp.

i don't understand why you would install a gamer chat client in an office setting

why not use IRC or a local intranet wiki?

Because all my friends use it XD

That is literally always their fucking response when I ask them.

I use both personally and most of my normie friends use discord and IRC though.

That's actually not a bad arguement. It does mean that the training time will be lower.
