@riking dear god, I wasn't aware of that D:

@bram the thing you need to realize is that these policies are all fine.... as long as Chrome is the only program using them.

@riking yeah, they took the "chrome os" joke a bit too far x(

@bram chrome os is the natural conclusion of all this.

Also it's the pioneer of a widely deployed, well tested, solid A/B update system.
I'm willing to bet $20 or more that ChromeOS influenced the Nintendo Switch updater, and that's why we have three second updates.

@bram
Anyways in conclusion that is why Electron is bad - it takes those "I'm responsible for everything" policies and puts them in multiple apps

@riking haven't took the time to dig into chrome update system, do you have any links?

@bram this page contains most of the principles: https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/filesystem-autoupdate
(I.. don't see any dates on this? that's pretty sucky)
