MacOS: Am I a joke to you?

MacOS (X) used to be the absolute best operating system around but ever since Apple became a phone company and Macs are merely an afterthought, macOS is indeed mostly a joke, not because the technological foundation is bad (actually that is quite good) but because of Apple’s dumb commercial decisions: The absolutely dumbest thing is Metal (their non-standard take on DirectX), deprecating OpenGL, and not adopting Vulkan.

WSL is the best thing that’s ever happened to windows

WSL is great but the NT kernel was/is more important, then userspace GPU drivers (which Linux still lacks), then WSL.

People now in their 20s don’t realize how utterly bad Win9x and then the first consumer grade NT-based WinXP were (and those older may have forgotten). Win7, 10, and 11 are paradise by comparison. These days I can cope with Windows. I don’t love it but it’s not a daily cause of anger like the Windows dark ages. Heck, winget even makes software installation bearable.

Nothing screams “Workstation” louder than Reddit Mobile.

Check out that last link I posted there

I wasn’t disagreeing with you, I was making an (hopefully) entertaining comment.

But that stinks of communism, doesn’t it… 😄

Sprinkle a bit of communism on that capitalism.

The main failing here in the US though is that rail maintenance falls to rail companies that have little financial incentives to spend the money on safety. That may be changing, however if the federal government just hands over money with inadequate oversight it will just enrich the companies.

Sounds almost as if critical infrastructure should be owned by the public.

major Wayland compositors are still written in C

KWin is written in C++ but yes, it’s not a “safe” language.

something like this isn’t too unlikely to happen again.

With at least three mainstream implementations – KWin, Mutter, and wlroots – it’s highly unlikely that all would ever be equally affected by one bug.

They cannot veto it. The patents for x86-64 and SSE2 lapse next year. The only say they have is on extension newer than these two.

X64 doesn’t exist. Microsoft used the label for Windows for a while to distinguish from IA64 (Itanium) and 32bit x86 editions of Windows but these days Microsoft moved mostly away from those labels and only uses them when talking about ARM.

It could be a web app like Voyager but you really shouldn’t just enter your credential willy nilly all over the place.

Bluesky is the promise of Mastodon with none of the failsafes of Mastodon.

Its still totally open source

No, it’s not. Those restrictions are against the open source definition.

Edit: Lol, people with no clue donvoting what they don’t want to hear. The open source definition is a fixed set of clauses. Read up on it.

Have you tried GUI text editors? They’re like the CLI ones, just from this millennium. We’re no longer etching runes into rocks any more either.

Yeah, as if the authors had no idea what terms the license has…

What’s the twist? There must be some reason.

.NET runs natively on Linux since quite some time. Honestly, I don’t get what Mono is even good for these days. Maybe reverse engineering old .NET versions.

Good luck preparing for exams without a PC and also not touch a smartphone in a timespan of 10 months…
