Flip it twice and it starts an automation!

Not even technically, actually. Wine and proton are translation layers that basically provide a dictionary of system calls so that Windows-specific ones can be translated to Linux calls instead

I almost instinctively downvoted you

Yeah, even with my relatively limited Esperanto familiarity (mi estas ankoraŭ komencanto, sed mi povas legi kaj skribi iomete), I was originally confused by it as well when I started using it a few months ago. Then when I saw the explanation on the faq, I just found myself wondering why the heck they used g instead of ĝ.

Truly in a clbottom of its own

Well that’s easy to remember!

TOML or bust

Could also have air bags for hauling

I’m not familiar with ports, does it provide an easy way to install packages of a particular version? Is it OpenBSD only, or just a system of installing things?

I’ve got no dog in the race as of yet, I’ve bounced off of nixos a few times because of the general lack of consistency from one package to the next in terms of configuration options made available in the Nix language.

Genuinely curious about how it compares. The nix package manager seems fairly promising, even on non-Nix systems, if I could ever convince myself I needed it

I can imagine that getting confused with Guix (pronounced geeks)

New installations of windows do not ask, and simply enable it

The main thing people are upset about isn’t that OneDrive exists or that Microsoft is pushing it. It’s that updates have made it so that OneDrive folder backup is automatically enabled without user permission. Backing up files to OneDrive without being asked to. That is a privacy nightmare.

I personally host my own copy of Nextcloud and use that for anything I need to sync or back up. I have a regular back up job that snapshots the Ceph cluster it uses for storage and copies it to my own NAS box here in the house, which is automatically replicated via a Nebula network (like TailScale or Zerotier but fully self-managed) to an identical NAS at my parents’ house across town.

Dyson Sphere Program is dangerously replayable to me. Hundreds and hundreds of hours sunk into it

I also recommend folks check out Dyson Sphere Program, I’ve sunk many hundreds of hours into it at this point

Somehow there’s never time to do it right, but there’s always time to do it again

I did not hit her! Oh hi, Mark, you piece of shit

My favorite variant: Your secret is safe with my indifference.

DSP recently got localized small distribution drones, you can convert any storage box into a tiny logistics station now. It’s pretty sweet, really reduces the spaghetti early on in recent playthroughs

I’m sorry, my goal wasn’t to be a bother. My initial comment was intended to be friendly and funny - I’m not trying to patronize or be antagonistic. I learned a couple of years ago that I have autism, so I should have learned my lesson by now and stopped trying to be funny; It never pans out the way I mean for it to.

Hope I wasn’t too much of a drag on your day, and I hope it gets better for you.

With that said, a genuine question with no jokes: Can you help me understand how 2016 counts as recent, given the context? It was almost a decade ago, and I’m having trouble comprehending how it counts at all as recent since in tech “recent” usually means “in the last 2-3 years” unless you’re comparing to something from a much longer time ago like the 90s.

It was a lighthearted jab at calling 8 years ago recent; Not a political statement about Apple or operating systems.

8 years is a ton of time in tech, CPUs from 2016 are ancient. Single-core CPU performance has doubled in Intel’s laptop chips since then, and modern laptop CPUs from Intel are often 12-core, versus the top end 2016 MacBook Pro having 4 cores.

Not trying to start any fights, was just poking fun at the choice to call 2016 recent
