haha lets name it brew, and we can have a whole little meme language of casks and mugs and use the beer emoji. nothin better than some cold suds after a long day of making pull requests. of course this is fine, alcoholics in recovery dont exist, they cant hurt you

My dad: Infranview, a thousand different pdf viewers, Firefox, and... Advanced System Care.

Seriously I've explained like ten times that he does not need it, that all it does is slow down the computer these days, and that it's probably running a bitcoin miner on his PC. But every time I uninstall it and explain this to him, he downloads it again some point in the future. :ughh:

I spotted two different firewalls running my my dad's old laptop and suddenly realized that's why updates weren't installing. they kept tripping on either one because they were both set to 'maximum' and he denied every alert out of caution

Is Ninite still ok to use for the purposes discussed ITT or are they bad now?

i still use it for easy updates. there's also patch my pc, which looks a million years old and has a dodgy name, that will do silent install updates on any out of date programs they track. they do a free personal use program, the paid is i think for business use
