There's a configuration file you can edit to prevent that. The Flatpak configures this automatically for you.

You're confusing linux with nodejs.

downloadUpdate();
sleep(10000); // 10 seconds should be enough time for the buffer cache to finish writing to disk even on the slowest system.

There's even an Update (technical docs) portal so apps can configure themselves to appear to self-update, without actually having to implement self-updating.

I'll answer your question with a question. Why does YAML support sexagesimal? (that's base 60)

ports:

Becomes

{
  "ports": [1342]
}

God is a jealous bitch, don't be talking to other gods.

Then again, the first commandment

Watch them still have the Disney bundle.

I see it as them interacting directly with microphones, webcams, and other peripherals.

It's because they're using a chrome only API to interact with USB devices. This used to be a dedicated piece of software. I guess they don't even want to provide an electron app.

Unless of course you don't actually own your PC. That's what Microsoft wants. Soon, they might make it so you can't install other OSes.

What’s next? Hopefully, Microsoft won’t start injecting a poll at shutdown demanding to know why I’m turning my PC off for the day.

They already do this in Windows Server. Every unscheduled shutdown and restart requires a reason so it can be properly audited.
