It would definitely make more sense if people just gave you a .zip file with all the necessary resources for the program rather than some garbage "installer" that they can hide pounds of adware in.

My CPU had to be brought in a few times because of a failed hard drive before...lost all my stuff about 3/4 times.

Downloaders. I used to fall for those on my old computer. Blue screen of death was the effect, but it was slow anyway. My current computer is WAY faster than my old one, but there are times when it's slow.

*deletes system3..

goddammit, I'm using an Ubuntu.

This is to download FileZilla.

FileZilla links to its SourceForge download on its website, but you have to go to some different page that has a greyed out link to just directly get FileZilla. Hey installer, I don't want your super cool free toolbars or whatever disease is in that glowing box.

Well all the installers aren't equally terrible. There are the actually clean ones that just do what you want, there are those that bother you to install toolbars and junk (and try to trick you by enabling it by default) but let you disable it, there are those that let you disable it but install it anyway, and there are those that install shit behind your back.

The last type should totally be considered malware, even if the intents aren't purely malicious.

I'm surprised nobody noticed my gender change (until I mentioned it in this post)

Yes, I did notice, Miss NWPlayer123.

Anyway, when I first downloaded FileZilla months ago, it made Safari's homepage some shitty Chrome or Yahoo thing until I removed the Chrome/Yahoo adware or whatever shit. And yeah, the ones that install stuff behind your back are pretty horrible.

Even the Skype installer tries to give you a toolbar and a different default search engine. Like, the official Skype installer for Windows, straight from the website.

Doesn't Java also have a silly toolbar with it?

I don't think it does. If anything it's an Ask toolbar.

Wondering why you're using Internet Explorer.

Why not? It has actually become somewhat decent.


Now it only needs to be updated more than once every two years so it can keep up with the evolution of the web standards. But atleast Microsoft stopped thinking they could overrule the standards or something.

Oh and that's something that doesn't use Webkit, too.

Have you guys heard of the new browser Microsoft has been working on, Spartan? It's supposed to be in Windows 10 alongside Internet Explorer, but after a while it will probably replace it.

Why start over, though? Is IE a total mindfuck internally or something?


It's kinda like IE for Mac. From what I read, that had a different rendering engine that was much more standards compliant than that of Windows IE. Why they kept it Mac specific is a mystery.

Maybe make a new browser since IE has a bad reputation?

So, Maryland just got thrown into a winter storm warning...again. This is dumb, we usually never get anything and all of a sudden mother nature decides to dump snow all over us.

Snow is an excuse to stay inside.
