Ah. You don't have editing privileges because it requires having at least 50 posts in this forum, or two suggested apps in the database.

In my experience, deleting huge directories is plenty fast on Windows even in the most obvious "delete in Explorer" method. Deletion of big files is far slower on Linux for whatever reason.

It's actually quite easy to do, just that a default of 10 (to me) makes the front page appear too overwhelming to a casual browser. Anyway, I will leave this here for another day to see if there are any objections. If not, I will make the switch to 10. No objections here. I too think 5 programs by ...

Safari , in particular, is wildly profitable. The New York Times reported in late 2020 that Google now pays Apple between $8-12 billion per year, up from $1 billion in 2014. Other estimates put the current payments in the $15 billion range. That's outright shocking. :shock: Apple is making billions...

Hmm, it uses native webviews on each platform. That allows it to be far more lightweight than Electron, while having a similar programming model.
