You can never trust Big Number.

They keep trying to make laws without going through Congress or the Senate.

I’m gonna be a bit rude here because you’re not reading what I wrote.

I did not say that such apps cannot be updated, I said that they’re not updated through a central update manager. So I don’t give a flying fuck if you implemented your own custom app updater in your app because that’s clearly and explicitly not what I’m talking about.

I also don’t give a fuck about throwing config files all over the place, since a) the uninstall script takes care of that and b) this doesn’t have to be specific to windows. Having an installer doesn’t mean that configs must be thrown everywhere. Afaict apt-get isn’t throwing files everywhere.

Again I don’t really give a fuck about windows, but saying it hat it’s not possible because people don’t use the tool that makes it possible is fucking inane bullshit. Idk why you think the windows store “sucks” and I don’t really give a fuck, it works fine as a user, even if I don’t personally use it.

Cool, that doesn’t help because I don’t actually want blender.

I’m commenting on how much I hate when software is provided as just a portable executable.

I know that a lot of the time they’re also provided as flatpaks or debs or in snap or windows app store, or Apple app store, etc.
But I’m talking about doing the thing that is being described in the image: unpacking a portable executable.

Not really moot, no.

A portable executable can have neither of those things. It also won’t show up in the start menu app list.

With an installer, it’ll at least show up in the uninstaller, with an install size that I can see when I’m looking to uninstall things, and it’ll at least show up in the app list.

But they could also package it through the app store where you get all that plus centralized update management.
But I’d be happy with just having it show up in the app list and uninstaller.

I know I don’t NEED an uninstaller. I want to use the uninstaller I already have for all my other apps.

Let me have a consistent user experience.
Automatically figure out the right spot for the app resources and set the appropriate file permissions.
Show up in the list of installed applications, so I can sort them by size, if I’m running out of space.
Don’t make me jump through hoops or know the magical directory I need to put it in, in order to have it show up in the start menu or app drawer.

Hot take: I hate when software just extracts an executable.
Fucking install it so that it’s registered with the software updater and uninstaller. Don’t make me remember that I have to go hunting in the folder to delete this one app.

The alkali metals get more strongly reactive the higher their atomic number.

Lithium will react pretty violently with the water in your saliva, but cesium will blow up your head. If you get enough of it wet to cover your tongue

If cesium is only a red, I’m scared to know what the purple ones would do 😱

So… The thing I just said?

I’m not gonna disagree that Americans have unhealthy eating habits. But the bread itself isn’t the issue, imo.

Only in the sense that people eat it more than you’d typically eat cake - id agree with that.

But I don’t really see why it’s bad inherently

I didn’t realize Europe had ethical issues with boring cake. If I could roll my eyes any harder at your disingenuousness, they’d pop out of my head.

No, go back to your foie gras, the absolute paragons of virtue that you are. We will just have to satisfy ourselves with bread that is occasionally shelf stabilized, like the absolute monsters that makes us.

Right. Literally like I said earlier - it’s just a boring cake.

I didn’t realize that Europe considered cake to be such a terrible thing

Like what?

I’ll grant you they’re not artisanal breads with handpicked ingredients - but not all brands load up on nasty preservatives, and people make white bread themselves, too.

And all those regional European delicacies are a disgrace to cooking. I love food, but those pickled-shrew-taint type things are disgusting.

I was commenting on the hypocrisy of you calling what is just a plain soft sweet bread disgusting, while all these European countries get a pass on their regional abominations of food culture.

I know that plain white bread is not great, but it’s basically just a really boring cake. The ire is unreasonable.

Y’all are like

Yum! This fermented sheep asshole and rotten cabbage is true food culture!

But you react to soft sweet bread like a vampire in a 60s horror flick reacts to holy water

Also: proto-croutons

That graph is getting dangerously close to becoming a political meme, given current events

They remind them of the only part of math they liked

That’s a lot of words to write for either not reading what I wrote, or not even attempting to understand it.

It’s wild that I very explicitly said they’re both bad and then you go on to imply that I, or people like me, think that one of these is “ok”.

And that you chose to use those straw men instead of engaging with the concept of relativity of wrongness, tells me that you probably don’t even really believe in that novella you wrote.

Or a boxing gym in general tbh.
