AFAIK if an app was installed by dragging it to Applications, there’s no way it could still run after you delete it. The actual executable is contained within the .app file.

It is true that uninstalled apps can leave files behind in other places though. Which is a problem on all platforms.

I dunno if app stores are gonna bring it back though.

The law stipulates like, ridiculously massive (seriously like $5k PER USER) fines for hosting it. I dunno if a legally-dubious pinky promise from Trump will be enough for them.

It’s already back up lmfao

You can drag it somewhere else or run it from the DMG? You can run apps outside that folder…

It’s not “dragging the .dmg into your Applications folder”, you mount the .DMG then drag the .app inside and move it where you like (a shortcut to your /Applications is provided)

The DMG also gives it compression. It’s not an “installer”, it’s more a form of zip file. Like a .zip it allows publishers to bundle guides, photos, etc.

Besides the “just drag” method is so much better than clicking through an installation wizard. But some apps use .PKG files which is an installer wizard.

There’s tons of legitimate arguments made against macOS but this seems like just unfamiliarity.

There’s tons of it, even in Chinese so I call bullshit

Well it’s a good thing they banned TikTok because it has “Closed, source, manipulative and harmful algorithms” and not for some other reason

GenZeDong? Sounds more like China. Not familiar with it.

As for the rest I haven’t seen that, no.

They may be more likely to side with any force opposing NATO/US/the west in international issues, however there’s no love for Putin or the post-USSR regime. Not supporting the USA on an international conflict is just, to them, the path to breaking western imperialism. That doesn’t mean they think Putin is a good dude, or that in any leftist country they envision Putin to be president.

Check out this thread, there really isn’t any Putin worship in these spaces.

Not recent enough?

2 months ago. Some of the top comments hoping Putin gets shot in the face. https://hexbear.net/post/3270551

I’m not expecting you to agree with their views I’m just tired of people being completely wrong about WHAT their views are.

I don’t think “Tankies” think that either? Or I don’t know who you mean. I don’t see anyone on .ml or lemmygrad or HexBear calling Russia left or saying Putin is a good leader that should be emulated.

Leftists don’t think Russia is left what the hell are you on about?

*blocks and excludes any leftist instance*

Hey where’d all the good memes go?
