it's crazy how every week every damned app needs to update

it's like just why

I'm sure your button 3 pixels to the left isn't that important

all these poor auto-updaters running all the time

imagine the carbon we're arbitrarily making like alchemists out of thin air! if only we used this great power to transmutate lead into gold

A fake bitcoin investor I met on facebook hacked my Binance wallet and took away my $563,200 worth of bitcoin. I almost killed myself until my elder sister in San Diego told me about Reclaim Wizard.🅳🅼(​🇷​​🇪​​🇨​​🇴​​🇻​​🇪​​🇷​​🇾​​🇦​​🇨​​🇨​​🇪​​🇸​​🇸​​🇨​​🇴​​🇩​​🇪​11 @ ​🇬​​🇲​​🇦​​🇮​​🇱 ​, ​🇨​​🇴​​🇲​ ) or ( reclaimwizardrecovery @ consultant . com) they saved my life and helped me recover back my hacked wallet and track down the scammer.

Usually, it's just the client facilitating for underlying system or API changes.

9/10 times security related.

1/10 times it's moving that button by 1 pixel.

@retoor Bank apps have it bad, though. The requirements put on those are insane, e.g. something as trivial as changing one letter in a linked PDF requires a whole new signed app release, because link targets have to be checksum controlled.

@jestdotty Oh, yeah. Discord totally updates just because it has the built-in store, and they need new functionalities for promotions and so on. So literally nothing to get excited about — “we need you to install this update, because we've added yet another feature that tries to sell you something”. Most users don't even know it has a store. I'm pretty sure it used to have a games library as well (because Epic), but I can't find it now.

Also, I'm one of those freaks using Vim, so no idea what you're talking about in regard to those other apps.

Lack of a GPU driver sounds like an issue, though.
