Humongous strawman. As if electon apps are the only ones that can be statically linked?!? For shame!

I have zero problem with static linking. I've said this multiple times in this thread. Strawman right back at you.

Yeah, sorry, I saw that later. (May have seen it earlier too, but not connected it to your name as I was replying.)

But that still doesn't make my comment a strawman (because I was talking about this one specific comment), or AFAICS yours less of one: Why would you jump to "bloated Electron apps"? Sure, they may suck, but the comment you replied to was about statically linked apps; no mention of Electron at all. Unless you're saying there was, originally, and had been edited out before I saw it? If not, your reply was... OK, more charitably, at least a non sequitur.

If not, please explain how, and I'll apologise.
