yeah seriously gently caress that poo poo. the installer always prompts you too and is annoying as poo poo. it pretty much has gotten ask.com installed on every pc for people over the age of 40. i know ninite exists for new installs and that poo poo owns, but is there something that does that for updates?

what the gently caress is java even good for

It's mechanical. Seems to come at regular intervals.
run java control panel go to security and disable java in your browser

hardly any sites use it anyway these days

then you never really need to update it again, just don't run random jars on your computer

no, you don't. just re-run the same ninite installer, it updates anything that's already installed with the latest packages

same Bob but also the new adobe poo poo requires bleeding edge java updates to even open Photoshop files so I should basically kill myself and take shantanu narayen with me

Only when you go to download it from the site it offers a checkbox, it doesn't do any installs on updates.
