Pseudo-malware is pretty much the way to go as a developer in my experience.

I believe his suggestion of a javascript file that deletes itself works only works because javascript gets sandboxed and doesn't suffer from Windows "flaw" with file locks.

While Raymond does offer a solution he's also completely side stepping any responsibility on Microsoft's part in creating and perpetuating this problem without offering their own native solution.

The reason you expect this is because Windows has a file lock behaviour that won’t let you delete a file when it’s in use, in Linux this limitation doesn’t exist.

Raymond Chan, arguably one of the best software engineers in the world, and a Microsoft employee, has repeatedly lamented the near malware like work arounds developers have had to invent to overcome this limitation with uninstallers.

Think about uninstalling a game. You need to run “uninstall.exe” but you don’t want uninstall.exe to exist after you’ve run it… but you can’t delete a file that’s in use. Uninstall.exe will always be in use when you run it….so how do you make it remove itself?

Schedule a task? Side load a process? Inject a process? Many ways…. But most look like malware.

Linux has never suffered this flaw.

Historical genocide and racism that has lead to intense trauma, substance abuse and poverty? Absolutely.

Racism from the people issuing protection orders to try and keep children safe? Ehhh maybe a little but my gut says the majority of protection orders are issued with valid reason.

It does not help at all that Aboriginal Australian children have one of the highest rates of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder of any demographic in the world.

FASD makes kids near impossible to control, they’re often violent and this of course results in even more domestic violence…. Which leads to the next generation being abused… and the cycle repeats.

So what can we do to stop this cycle?

You can’t throw money at people deep into substance abuse. You can’t cure FASD. Telling an abuser that beating their wife and kids is bad… doesn’t really work. They know it’s bad and they don’t care, believe me I know from personal experience. You can’t magic genuine economic opportunities out of thin air and into remote communities.

If it were an easy problem to fix it probably would’ve been fixed by now.

Fun fact, the user agreement doesn’t mean anything in Australia. Australian’s can get a refund any time they want because legally we cannot sign away our rights.

I got a refund a while back after I discussed this point, and my grievances with their broken promises, delivery failures and increasingly hostile sales tactics with RSIs (at the time) Director of Player Retention, Will Leverett.

Streaming services seem to lower bitrate when I’m using Firefox vs Brave, so Brave is my go to for streaming.

I use Firefox for everything else.

Sure show the Japanese victims, but then you need to show why they were victims in the first place. So you need to show Japanese Imperialism that committed atrocities in Nanking and the attack on Pearl Harbour.

Maybe we could go further and show that Japanese Imperialism was driven by the existential threat of Western Imperialism, which does not in any way lessen the horrors committed by Imperial Japan.

Sometimes the whole story can’t be told in a single film. Not all of it is important to the message or topic the author, director and producers wish to send or examine.

This isn’t a new theory at all, this was first proposed not long after the BBT was.
