That’s about as ‘judging a book by it’s cover’ as it gets.
Ultimately OP isn’t trying to sell it to you, they’re just saying that for them, they’ve been happy with it.
And hey, if you choose your distros based on their name, I’d like to see you sell that idea.
And what’s the insinuation here, given that being told the instance admin is a woman your response was “That explains a lot”
I got absolutely fooled by a tech YouTuber posting that Microsoft added OneDrive ads to the blue screen, so it felt good to get got for once.
However with real life news, I tend to agree with you. The distinction between satire and real life is getting ever more minuscule
This happens on the Google side of the fence as well - this article immediately came to mind.
I’m glad I started self hosting so I still have a “cloud” convenience while still owning all my data and being the sole person responsible for it.
I really want to see what the bullshit looks like - shame the article doesn’t actually show a sample, guess I’d have to make my browser look like an AI crawler
Kind of. They’re actually trying to avoid this according to the article:
“The company says the content served to bots is deliberately irrelevant to the website being crawled, but it is carefully sourced or generated using real scientific facts—such as neutral information about biology, physics, or mathematics—to avoid spreading misinformation (whether this approach effectively prevents misinformation, however, remains unproven).”
Oh, would’ve been so frustrating! I remember having a Pentium 4 laptop with an NVIDIA GPU and that thing unsurprisingly cooked itself, so I then tried 1NSANE (Codemasters’ soft body physics car game) on my crappy little netbook instead and it just couldn’t handle it.
It would be some time before I was gifted an Acer Aspire with dedicated graphics and a busted screen that I could play 1NSANE again
Colobot - don’t think it was “shareware” but it absolutely came as a demo on ceebot.com (still hosted there today I believe). Literally THE game that got me into computer programming and whatnot.
Otherwise for actual shareware, I loved Jazz Jackrabbit 2, Crazy Gravity and The Worm (found it!)
I really wanted to play a couple shareware games called Jetpack Joyride, and Hot Chix n Gear Stix as a kid, but neither of them would play on my Windows XP netbook as they had a hard check for if you were on either Windows 95 or 98, even with compatibility mode.
Been a moderate user of Excel but started a new budget in LibreOffice Calc recently and so far it seems 1:1, including using commands like VLOOKUP and SUMIF
There is still not a neat replacement for wmic in PowerShell. If I want to do the equivalent of wmic product where name="some shitware" call uninstall it looks like this:
$instance = Get-CimInstance win32_process -Filter "Name = 'powershell_ise.exe'" $instance | Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName 'Terminate'
Like how the hell is that easier to understand Microsoft? Everything else in PowerShell follows a general pattern of Upper Camelcase.
That’s just one instance of what I’ve found working with pwsh at work that leaves me thinking wtf
…security by obscurity? Guess when Linux finally explodes in popularity, you’ll see me over on FreeBSD instead
They did the exact opposite to this. If the person in the video tells you to subscribe, the subscribe button will play an animation to get your attention.
