they probably just threw in a custom script action in the install package to wipe the entire folder and its contents at the end of its uninstall routine because a couple orphaned files were keeping the folder from getting deleted

they look to have created their own installer, which—having bloodied myself on NSIS in the past—I can understand wanting to do. NSIS is great, but a very general tool, and tricky to integrate well with a delta-patching system (or was when I last looked at it), so it’s tempting to do something “simpler” for your own specific use case. I think the generated installer usually gets a list of directories and not just files, such that it can clean up temp files and caches and so forth when uninstalling, so you could probably code this (security?) fuckup into your config if you worked at it I don’t know if this part of the NSIS feature-brag page is ironic or not: quote:A lovely coding experience with elements of PHP and assembly (includes user variables, a stack, real flow control, etc.) software installation and uninstallation should be an operating system task with enforced boundaries; don’t rpm -Uvh me e: ah, Bangers is a vet I see

official response: quote:I've been reading online that this bug was causing entire disks to be wiped out, which was not necessarily the case. literally the person who filed this bug: quote:I had the Minecraft Dungeons launcher installed on my SSD with all my games, it wouldn't let me install the game in the same place so I uninstalled the launcher so I could install it on my C drive but it wiped out my entire games SSD!

it's 2020 and windows still struggles with tracking and backing out registry changes, but on the plus side I see the nullsoft installer all the time, it also whips the llamas rear end

Last Chance posted:lmfao it’s a loving nightmare. iOS/Android can only cross-play with the Store (“Bedrock”) version, and there are different account spaces between the Xbox/Bedrock server world and the Java one. it took me like 3 hours to get a server and all the account permissions and settings correct so that my kid and her friend could play together, and that included breaking down and just renting a “Realm” server from Microsoft because the Bedrock one on my provider didn’t work for some reason. in more secfucky news, the child account management for the Xbox stuff is impressively Byzantine and plagued with out of date caches and needing to restart things, and all the advice on the web for it boils down to “just open up everything and wait 12 hours”.

Tbh, considering the secfuck that pile of poo poo is it seems very reasonable you'd have to jump through hoops to host a server. Like how else are they supposed to make sure you're not one of those pedophiles who doesn't have a credit card.

it is quite amazing that everything that microsoft touches/buys crumbles into loving dust within a few years. GitHub probably has a year or two left in it before microsoft completely destroy s it i'm guessing

oh yeah, the best-selling game in history, by a vast margin, is actually objectively really bad and microsoft made it bad. loving bunglers. presumably what you mean when you say that github will be dust in a few years is actually that every developer uses it, it raking in cash, but forums poster last chance will dislike it and shake their head in disapproval.

Microsoft’s primary contribution to Minecraft is making it unmoddable so that nobody else can fix it. Their second contribution is microtransactions.

microsoft changed it from a messy seat-of-the-pants open-to-everyone indie free-for-all run by a nazi to a closed commercialized exploited product not run by a nazi. so it was probably an upgrade overall

I have a buddy who is into all the Bedrock stuff and he says that if you rent a server on Switch the transaction will go through but literally do nothing and then both Nintendo and MS support will ignore you about it. I guess I'll have to force my children to play the Java version.
