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

    Yes. Thats how they made everything seem magical to the end user.

    Two architectures, and two binaries in the single package.

    All those programs that only had binaries in the old architecture ran through the emulator Rosetta.

    Once the old architecture had been deprecated long enough, they dropped the PPC compilation in the binaries.

    There was the technique to regain disk space by deleting the unused architecture binaries from the bundles.
