The state of package management and versioning is an absolute debacle.
It's really shining a light on our collective complacency and the false dream of relying on the crowd. People do the fun stuff. And then they move on.
I still think this sums it up best

Meh. At least nuget doesn't inject a few minutes of build latency into an otherwise fast starting .net project to redownload all the .js I already have. you very much NPM. 🤮

I feel the pain. I used a NPM package that produces stars to rate a product and the guy gave up on trying to keep it updated as Angular blasted past V5. And thats just one example in my collection.
They do the same thing with cars, where a 3rd party will produce aftermarket parts such as a super charger. You buy it and put it on your car, and 3 years later when you need a replacement part for it, none are available because they moved on to the next popular car. Or like Ford where the CEO decided to only support the car for 10 years and that's it, no more parts for it, buy a new car.
If it ain't broke don't fix it

Heh, glad I was an embedded developer. I never had to put up with any of this type of stuff during my career (now retired).

Hi,
There was something about Paint not being on Win7 to Win10, I discovered Paint.NET and not really used it for very much. It is included on Win7 up isn't it? I read something about it not being on Win10 had a look and it's still there. All the version of Windows 10 I have used appear to have it (as well as Paint3D), could it be missing on some variation of builds?..

To the best of my knowledge, Paint is still installed with all versions of Win 10, but it's not necessarily added to the start menu.
To run it, try a search for "paint" and the app will appear.

Will dis-app-here ever be that popular?

Paint is available on Windows 10, but the functionality has changed slightly.

Paint.NET is a third party product, you need to install it yourself from the download.

I know but Shareware, makes it awkward when you don't have Admin rights...

Paint.NET is not included as far as I know, it's what I have been using to do simple image editing for the past 10+ years.

Paint is found under Windows Accessories in Windows 10 and yes, it is not an "App".
Also of note, typing "mspaint" into the Run command window will get you thing you've been getting since Windows '95.

The EXE has always been "mspaint" and that still works.
Cheers,

I've always had Paint and I think I've had all versions of Windows as well.
Paint, to me, is like the Excel of graphics.
I keep coming back to it, even though I shouldn't, and some very important business images were edited or cropped using Paint

Is gin infused with marijuana popular with gin joint owners?

Marijuana infused with gin would be very popular... once.

Hopefully you don't get caught in a stampede.

Gin is a known toxic substance that must be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner (feeding to UK'ians is one option), so doobie more careful! A chance to test this (as a fine broth) will soon be available in NY - hooka'da known?
