      This ‘compress’ everything is such a waste of CPU and energy. Plus “oops, all your files are gone, tee hee”. GZ everywhere is fucking stupid. More complexity for zero benefit.

        To be fair: there are many things where compression is a waste of CPU time, like fonts and about 90% of non-text media as they’re already compressed

          What, you don’t love downloading a zip file that contains an msi (which is perfectly capable of internally compressing much of its internal data)?
