@jasmine
I agree but [insert disagreement] no, really! I would love an ideal solution yet the ecosystem is fragmented. Only covers-all solution I think of is npm but no one trusts it. However: when big corp or entities with money does this> zero excuses to publish actual debs,rpm,etc really@luc_coder @jasmine I agree that ecosystem fragmentation is a bitch, but I think there are better ways around it.
Flatpak, Appimage, Homebrew... -
or gopher
ftp anything but this crap
ok i solved it
i'll live-patch the update script to output the url instead of curling it, and then i'll do the download on a remote box via ssh and bring in the file with scp, easy
maybe i'll make a shell script that does this for other installers using the same pattern too. i could call it bum, bro upgrade manager
bum updateor maybe i'll just call it
using an emoji as the binary name, how's that for a pattern? such innovation

@jasmine Because the pitch-deck calls for growning a trained userbase for when they're out of runway and the VCs make them pivot to selling you for pennies.

linux needs to add this to systemd
systemctl bro-install whatever
and then it auto-resolves that to https://whatever/install.sh
it's the perfect solution, the init package manager
hey isn't that nix
