This is so braindead. Whoever thought this out must be sick.
I wanted to install some software to control my cromecast.
First install: the nodejs in the repository is too old.
oh well, just upgrade my linux, it's kinda old...
Next install: the nodejs in the repository is too new!
WTF? And of course the "too new" message is displayed via 500 lines of error stack dump.
Well this is exactly how you get people to embrace and use nodejs, NOT!

I hated it on MSIE and I hate it everywhere where I encounter it.
Firefox is nice: typing something on a form and the backspace functionality is disabled.
Still I would like it to not even exist.

First Node.js-Powered Ransomware Discovered (softpedia.com) 69
An anonymous reader writes: A security researcher from Emsisoft has discovered a new ransomware family coded via NW.js (formerly Node-WebKit). Why is it unique? Because it is the first of its kind to use JavaScript for the ransomware's source code, it provides cross-OS support (we may see the first universal Windows-Linux-Mac ransomware in the future), and because the security researcher describes it as "successor of CryptoLocker" when it comes to encryption quality. The ransomware, Ransom32, is offered as a RaaS service on the Dark Web, only targets Windows machines in its first version, and is currently undecryptable.

Before last update it was freezing when changing WiFi settings. Now it freezes, about every 4th time, when I close the lid.
