Love to see upgrades with a negative net size lmao. Software should get more optimized with time, not more bloated. Oop, just got the gnome console popup notification saying that my install command finished running, sweet – it took as long as making this post

    I already responded to you in another comment, but:

    If I read this right, they didn’t push separate PowerPC and Intel architecture versions, you’d just get MacOS (or in those days, OSX) and it would ship with both binaries.

    No, it’s even crazier than that. You didn’t get separate PowerPC and Intel binaries either. You got fat binaries that had machine code for both architectures!

        I think this is available on Linux too if I remember correctly. You can compile a binary that contains multiple architectures. It’s been awhile but I think ELF binaries can do it.
