    Nah I can low effort OP with the best of them.

    Have been wondering why the debate about Jesus' divine/human nature keeps cropping up and why it was so bitterly fought.

    Well, I suppose they know a thing or two about streaming audio.

    Thought it was more about showing off all the study/prayer you do. Doing it in private is okay.

    Devoting your life to anything, even prayer, while failing to serve is a major nonstarter for Jesus

    Welp, my Kindle Paperwhite finally gave up the ghost. It was my late wife's, and she loved that thing. I continued to use it after she passed away, because it's simply a good e-reader and had the built-in 3G so I can download books anywhere. It's at least 6 years old (probably older). It makes me a little bit sad, because it's yet another piece of her that is now gone, although I'll probably keep the broken Kindle around for sentimental reasons. There's the big goodbye, but there's also a lot of little goodbyes that come after that, usually on anniversaries. I think this is one of them, as strange and silly as it may seem.

    Windows frogramming question for you.

    I have a shitty application I need to support that, at run-time, creates dlls with random names in the same folder that the exe is run from.

    End-user Bob launches diarrhea.exe from C:\Program Files\Diarrhea\. The exe, in Bob's security context, creates DLLs with names and paths like C:\Program Files\Diarrhea\liquidshit-temp-94bvs76bs76.dll. If Bob doesn't have write access to C:\Program Files\Diarrhea\, the .exe crashes ungracefully.

    Originally, this software was distributed as a zip file, that the user could download from the Internet, expand to their desktop, and run the exe from C:\Users\Bob\Desktop\Diarrhea\. We've taken some measures to restrict users running arbitrary exes from arbitrary locations and it's caused a multi-months-long back and forth with the Diarrhea vendor about it. (No, they don't give an MSI. Just a zip file that you can expand somewhere.)

    My question to you is: have you ever seen this sort of behavior before? A Windows .exe that needs to create DLLs at runtime to function (and in its own folder, no less)? Is there a good reason why an application might be built this way?

    gonna be honest i don't understand why anyone would join Clubhouse

    it's possible i have an incorrect idea about what it is but my understanding is basically a social network version of a Zoom call?

    Creating its own dlls probably means it's downloading them from somewhere? There are a bare handful of reasons to do something like this, most of which are kind of sketchy, and very few reasons to create it dynamically

    Right. If this were an archaic application from years long past, then I'd just chalk it up to being old. But it's not. It's actively being supported and developed with new versions released on a regular basis.

    Man, what is it with trying to set up accounts for Japanese games

    If I wanna go and play like WoW or SWTOR for a week I can just download it, set up an account, ez breezy, no big fuss

    FF14 meanwhile is like, oh you have to log into your account before we let you download the client, no you have the wrong password for your old account now you're timed out, ok we let you change the password, wait why are you trying to enter this new password into your account, go to time out jail again. Also no you can't just create a -new- account. And no you can't delete your old account and then use that email address ever again.

    Also it's sending me emails to my normal email address, but when I finally got into the mog station to view my account it has a different email address listed?

    It's just wtf all over and way more effort than I wanna spend in exchange for dipping my toe back into an MMO for 2 weeks

    It's quite possible that it was built on a legacy codebase and nobody cares enough to fix it up now - if you are running as admin then you have program files write permissions after all!
