Takes me back to my first Arch install in like 2008.

I used Arch btw

640 exabytes should be enough for anyone!

What are you talking about? TempleOS isn’t a punishment, it’s a reward

We cannot, Python explicitly doesn’t do TCO.

RecursionError: Maximum recursion depth exceeded image manipulation toolkit

No way, at least Gentoo is up to date

If you wanted to truly punish them, install Debian Stable

Have they fixed that 100% disk usage bug in Windows yet? Seems to disproportionately affect laptops with magnetic disk’s and just chokes the whole system making it unusable

As someone who works, flatpak’s solve a bunch of problems, freeing me up to continue working.

Security issues are just a class of issue; no more or less important than other issues

He said Linux Subsystem for Windows, which I took to mean the opposite of Microsoft’s Windows Subsystem for Linux

(for reference, look at the difference between WSL1 and WSL2)

First version: attempt to reimplement the windows API on top of Linux

Second version: give up and embed Windows inside a VM

I’m pretty sure Tesla cars dont run on Windows…

Tux racer go b…r…r…r

I only had access to ex-corporate office hand-me-down motherboards as a kid. This was about 1 potato per 3 seconds of rendering performance (I’m 34)

Well, theres been a push to get more women into Tech so that works in your favour.

Your job is now to lure them away from the Microsoft bros

Yeah, but, like, I use Arch btw

I turn UAC off before it nags me for the 10th time.

The only nag I want to see is the one right before it gets turned off.

I hate things that just throw up nag screens that users get desensitized to and just click through anyway. It hasn’t increased security at all.

Looking at you “do you trust the authors of the code in this workspace folder” VSCode. Yes I effing do, that’s why I opened it to begin with!

Well, as far as I’m concerned Skype for Business set the benchmark for terrible. Teams isn’t even close to being that level of bad

Teams is relative.

At a previous job (Microsoft shop but in the public sector so 10 years behind), the standard messenger when I started was Skype for Business.

In case you’ve never used Skype for Business, it’s “Skype” in branding only and actually has nothing to do with the Skype software that Microsoft purchased and is more like MSN Messenger.

Compared to that, Teams is a huge step up.

Also, at a Microsoft shop, you have to use what Microsoft provides even though it’s usually balls.

It’s 90% of the reason I now refuse to work anywhere that’s bought into the Microsoft ecosystem. It’s just so… mediocre

Is it system32 or SySWow64 these days?

Is it r-unit, or run-it?

I’ve read it as r-unit for so long and now I’ve only just realised that run-it makes far more sense
