Serious Discussion BleachBit update and discussion

[ForgottenSeer 103564]

Because you said garbage removal in stead of garbage collection and again said garbage collections of SSD is superior to HDD.

HDD's don't have garbage collection, HDD's simply overwrite data. So yes SDD's garbage collection is far superior to HDD's as is the flying capacity of a pigeon far superior to that of an elephant.

Secure delete is the same as bleaching, so not recommended on a SDD

Oh my so good at word play are you. It means effective file moving and deleting on ssd is better than hhd, I did not say one had what the other did, are you done acting like a toddler yet, because frankly you regurgitating what you read others say and nit picking others post does not make you look intelligent, it makes you look like an arse trouble making troll.

I have seen you reddit a post repeatedly rewording things just to poke at others, it's not helpful and certainly reflects on you, I know others have seen it too.

Oct 7, 2024

We are pleased to announce the release of BleachBit 4.6.2, which includes more cleaning of Google Chrome and many fixes, including a missing DLL error on Windows.

• Fix detection of Wayland.
• Fix error SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence with Python 3.12.
• Fix missing developer name in metainfo.xml file.

Windows​

• There was a major update to the Winapp2.ini file on August 29, which includes many updates for various cleaners. When enabled in the preferences, it is available OTA also for older releases of BleachBit.
• Restore the missing DLL to fix the regression causing the error "Code execution cannot proceed because msvcr100.dll was not found" that affected many users.

• Hide a Linux-specific option in the preferences.

Developers​

• List of commits
