This is why we shouldn’t ban Critical Race Theory.

The people who invented C++ never went outside, otherwise they would have never invented C++.

Man, even when I try to be diplomatic I still get berated.

Should have just said fuck you and called it a day. (kidding)

By “zip file”, I meant a compressed archive. I’m not as nerdy as you guys are so I see now that there is a difference. I appreciate the correction.

That said, you have to admit that it’s still cool that these different file formats are nothing more than archives. Maybe not to you but it blew my mind when I first learned this.

Well fair enough. You clearly have more knowledge on the subject than I do.

FWIW, by “zip file”, I meant that the file is a compressed archive. Apologies for implying a specific file format. That wasn’t my intention.

You could always download a random exe even in Linux, you know. But I’ll handle it. Commuting home now.

Why don’t you just try it and see for yourself?

Remind me in about 5 hours and I’ll upload a screenshot as proof when I get home.

Speaking of which, it blew my mind when I discovered that .EXEs are just zip files compressed archives. Same goes for .DLLs, and a lot of other common Windows file extensions as well. (.DOC too, for example IIRC). They all open in your favorite archiver software (I like NanaZip; which is a fork of 7-Zip with a modern UI).

People still use dedicated email clients? Why?

I didn’t know they offer same day shipping on mail-order brides now.

Yep. Anyone who started buying within the past two years is laughing all the way to the bank now.

I have to disagree. Removing features for the sake of simplifying things for the idiot masses frustrates me like no other. To this day I’m still upset over the removal of the Menu button in Android.

Also, love to be that guy: it’s their. I’ll never understand why people mix up their, there, and they’re so easily. Same goes for you’re and your. I realize that I’m being a dick but this shit is basic elementary school English.
