Well, if the Injection isn’t the best option, you can always resort to patches.

what did I miss?

fucking rusties are at it again…

Ever administered an AD domain?

only as part of a curriculum and in an apprenticeship; so nothing serious.

Crazy what all you can manage. It’s not only a user auth tool, it’s so much more.

yeah sure you can manage the heck out of it. But what does one really need? Restricting/Enabling access to resources, and managing authentications right? And that’s feasible with Kerberos and OpenLDAP, no?

That’s what I took that to mean, too. And it’s sufficient. It allows the OS to provide a single point from which to uninstall all programs.

Well then, when that’s sufficient. Have you checked %AppData% (Local, Roaming, LocalLow) for any residue?

Maybe I’m a bit jaded as I remember the time where windows application didn’t even came with a basic uninstaller and didn’t relied on InstallShield instead used their own installer.

Also I don’t think that there is actually such log, and that “OS level application management” is just the good old “Programs and Features” dialog where it simply registers the path to the uninstaller.

On Linux on the other hand the applications place their stuff in well defined directories and the install script has to deliver the file manifest (and where to copy its content) otherwise the application or library would simply not work. Flatpak kinda does the same but uses a dedicated directory in the users home directory, Snaps uuhm I don’t touch canonical stuff with a ten foot pole, AppImage just delete the file and your are golden.

Right but in practice nobody really uses the Windows store, and winget, chocolatey etc. are only used by geeks.

ok.

Linux distros typically have 2-3 different ways to install applications and multiple mechanisms for updating/maintaining,

Windows ways to install applications:

• hunt down an installer either exe or msi file, or a zip which you unextract somewhere which doesn’t then create desktop icons and then scattered all aroundu
• Windows store, just like any other application store by MacOS or Linux only shit
• Winget, cli installer just like under Linux but actually decent
• chocolatey, aaaah just stop!

On windows, they have a registration scheme where installers log to a common OS level application management on what to run to uninstall.

Yup sounds absolute reasonable… Wtf?

Can you imagine any sort of Linux Active Directory?

What is openLDAP?

Pretty sure that CBM, especially the Commodore Pet, was the default in classrooms in the 80s not Apple.

utterly delusional.

Hey now… Mint ain’t so bad.

There is an EMacs command for that.

Do the other FSes even lift, bro?

So in essence the sleepy steal more or less from the woke?

Subscriptions aren’t donations. Donations also aren’t tiered or have fixed prices or are recurring.

Or would you say that your Netflix subscription is actually a donation you just get the nice bonus of being able to stream shows and movies?

Could have just made it donations, no extra perks or anything. Just supporting the development.

yes

that forced restart is probably going to be a huge win for our rolling release brothers and sisters.
