  • You’re looking at the full mc package rather than just mcedit. Even then, Midnight Commander is absolutely worth that whopping 7.9MB of space it takes for all the functionality it provides.

    Openwrt is not an example to use to compate against a package size, as it’s target built to fit into small firmware storage spaces on all sorts of random hardware. That’s comparing existential philosophy with oranges.

    Would you download a car?











  • Well, now they just make you throw out the old Mac hardware and buy new for $1299 (8gb RAM lol) because it’s now out of support for the latest MacOS and the newest versions of Adobe Suite/MS Office/insert productivity work related proprietary software suite here is on board with Apple’s bullshit and won’t run on older MacOS versions.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same.



  • Yeah, totally.

    Just imagine trying to do this with Windows Powershell, without a package manager like chocolatey to make it simple like linux…

    $workdir = "c:\installer\"
    
    If (Test-Path -Path $workdir -PathType Container)
    
    { Write-Host "$workdir already exists" -ForegroundColor Red}
    
    ELSE
    
    { New-Item -Path $workdir  -ItemType directory }
    
    $source = "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=win64&lang=en-US"
    
    $destination = "$workdir\firefox.exe"
    
    if (Get-Command 'Invoke-Webrequest')
    
    {
    
         Invoke-WebRequest $source -OutFile $destination
    
    }
    
    else
    
    {
    
        $WebClient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
    
        $webclient.DownloadFile($source, $destination)
    
    }
    
    Start-Process -FilePath "$workdir\firefox.exe" -ArgumentList "/S"
    
    Start-Sleep -s 35
    
    rm -Force $workdir/firefox*
