minus-squarelemming741@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up195·25 天前 Microsoft intentionally made programs install to C:\Program Files on Windows 95+ to force programmers to deal with spaces in filenames. Someone make one of those “statements made by the utterly deranged” memes about it, please and thank you.
