$ sudo appt-get install app
chmod +x myApp.appImage
Yes but imo patch is now update
Patch is now Paid DLC
App is actually correct for all but the OS.
The word app has been around forever, first appearing in the 1970s (according to some dictionaries I just googled). Pendulum swung towards “programs” and we have since swung back to the correct term.
The script is compiled to a program which is then executed by the OS.
->
The app is appified to an app which is then apped by the app.
Damnit.
Why use many word?
Everything is a file
What about a folder?
If you can open it in Vim, it’s a file.
You can open me in Vim, Greg. Am I a file?
Pregonte file
Is that how babby formed
how to mkdir
What about a process? File gone wild?
I’d call that a file loaded to memory
Most files are loaded to memory in order to make any kind of use out of them. I.e. read/write operations.
That’s true! I supposed it would be more precise to say that all processes are files loaded to memory, but not all files loaded to memory are processes. Sort of like the whole arachnids / spiders situation.
Why not? Represented in /proc? exec() and fam? Read and write to it?
I mean, with virtualization that’s pretty much true
I call everything a script. Makes the Java devs real mad. Makes the PM’s super confused.
A million-line project spread over a hundred files
It’s a script!
GNU Autotools: yes.
They hate to hear it.
sqlite is technically just one C source file, so that’s definitely a script.
The compiled binary being another script.
Just in a different language.Being one source file is the definition of a script?
The definition of a script is something the computer executes (if it’s a computer script, of course). Everything else people shove into it is extraneous.
Wait, so the
bashscript that I broke down into multiple files because I was unable to create and use functions properly, could not be considered a script?It’s now just a bash
Guess, I’ll be
bashing my way to completion.
In a sense it is, before it gets compiled. And yes I’m using the term loosely, please don’t @ me people
Then: Books, Movies, Videos, Blogs, Articles Now: C O N T E N T
Then: Fire, Rocks
Man, I hate the word content.
Me too. Ever since I read Richard Stallman’s words to avoid article. I kinda wish I hadn’t read it now lmao.
I’ll definitely read it start to end when I have the time later, for now this is my favourite part of the article (Of the parts I skimmed through):
“Bullshit generators” is a suitable term for large language models (“LLMs”) such as ChatGPT, that generate smooth-sounding verbiage that appears to assert things about the world, without understanding that verbiage semantically.
Man, what a nice read
Yeah, me too. What the fuck is content? Content means contained in something. Contained in what?
Also, “content creator” = OnlyFans
Contained in the app you use, video you watch, article you read, page of a book, sentence in a paragraph, etc.
I’m content with it
Product is a word I hate.
I have a warehouse full of product.
I mean unless you’re a drug smuggler… Then that’s fine. But using it for random lawn mower parts is dumb I think.
Haha thank you for that.
It’s not the word, it’s the reductionism.
We used to call all those media except people naturally didn’t want to lump them all together.

In my workplace they use robot for everything
Make it stop!
This is nonsense.
The other day I realized they did that because its APPle. I have no evidence but I’m sticking with it
I think I heard “applet” being mentioned for embedded java or something in the early 2000s. I don’t know if that’s connected.
I thought applet came first. Then “web apps” - but i think that’s a windows perspective.
This claims they came from NEXT which apple bought in the 90s. https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/when-did-programs-become-apps.136416/
The thread also refers to bitmap image files as bumps which I’d still do if I ever saw a bump again. So the thread is legitimate.
I’ve been coding since the '80s. I’ve never once heard anyone refer to a bitmap as a “bump”.
Apple didn’t invent the word “app,” but I do think they pushed it because it was adjacent to the company’s name.
The name of the company is all you need as evidence.
They trying the Algorithm to AI nowdays.
I very much hate the word app. That’s probably my biggest boomer trait.
For me, it’s cloud.
You should check the Cloud to Butt extension. It is immature, but it can make you laugh
haha I think I remember this!
