You’re right about Linux but you’re wrong about windows. It is sent to the event loop in windows https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winmsg/window-notifications. It’s been a long time since it was my job, but you actually had to pass a certification that your application exited gracefully in response to these messages as part of the partner program back in the day.

20·2 days agoThe problem with surveillance tech is that even if it was initially implemented with the best intentions by good people that aren’t seeking to abuse it, it can change hands.

That’s cute, but you’re complaining about people expressing their opinions on a platform where the entire point is to comment on posts…
People having seen the exact same joke that isn’t even good for a decade or more…

Technology@lemmy.world•Jensen Huang says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage"English
6·3 days agoThe end of the world narrative pushers are actually the “AI safety” people that work at the big AI companies, and people like Huang himself that like to boost completely made up narratives like “the AI threatened us when we said we’d turn it off!” (Invariably if that happened it’s because they… prompted it to…)
I’ve never liked this joke. I guess it’s supposed to be that the husband does the literal action as described, but instead it’s just that they interpreted ambiguity opposite than expected? It just really doesn’t work very well :/

1121·17 days agoSilly that it has to use hedge language like not ready “yet” and “premature”. These executives fucked up and deserve to be roasted. They didn’t make an innocent mistake. They were grossly incompetent and should be losing their jobs for not doing even the most basic due diligence before making decisions that were not only bad for the affected employees but for their customers and the company itself.
I’ve found that laughing in their faces and putting in 2 weeks is fairly effective at breaking that wall. Amazing what money they can find when faced with the alternative. Otherwise, the correct move is to actually leave. All of you cowards that submit to the machine make it worse for everyone.
You’re falling for the “we’ve constructed this machine to tell you no so you can’t argue with us” ploy

Long running headless processes on windows generally still have an event loop and a window handle via which they process those messages.
