Unix needed only \n because it had complex drivers that could replace \n with whatever sequence of special characters the printer needed. Also, while carriage return is useful, they saw little use for line feed

On dos (which was intended for less powerful hardware than unix) you had to actually use the correct sequence which often but not always was \r\n (because teleprinters used that and because it’s the “most correct” one).

Now that teleprinters don’t exist, and complex drivers are not an issue for windows, and everyone prefers to have a single \n, windows still uses \r\n, for backward compatibility.

Is this supposed to replace bluez?

Try to draw a full semicircle and extend the 7 units long red line, you will notice it falls on the other corner of the semicircle. In fact, every way of drawing two segments from a semicircle corner to the same point if the circumference forms a right triangle.

Now, on the original figure, draw the hypotenuse of the red triangle, you will notice the hypotenuse is as long as the extension you draw earlier, because both start from the same height and fall on a corner of the same semicircle. That means that you can find the extension by calculating the hypotenuse.

Now, you can calculate 7+extension to get the cathetes of the extended triangle, and it’s hypotenuse is the diameter of the semicircle. You can divide the diameter by two to get the radius.

Now, you notice that: X, the radius, and the red hypotenuse form a right triangle, and you know the length of the red hypotenuse and of the radius, so you can find X.

You are missing the point. They care when money is involved, and yet they failed to maintain a browser engine, which would have (for the better or for the worse) a central part of most people’s computing.

And yet, despite the browser being so important… They gave up and handed the cake to Google.

LMAO

Microsoft pays for a lot of opensource development, you may not like it but you still need its work, including Lennart Pottering’s salary (and don’t even start with “systemd bad”).

“Hyperv is the worst”… Shut up and come back when your hypervisor has proper GPU paravirtualization on all vendors.

Bad argument, Microsoft is among the three most valuable companies in the world, when something is important to them they get it done properly (e.g. hyperv is the best made part of windows, because they need it for azure). The settings page doesn’t get them money, only nerds care if it’s bad, a browser does.

Maybe if all the forks merge into a single project, and if that project becomes part of some foundation like the Linux foundation or most likely freedesktop, and if some folks from big tech companies get paid to work on it full time (probably google would, for obvious reasons, but it wouldn’t be enough), and if distros start shipping that in place of firefox, and if for some reason the less tech savvy get to know about this project…

…Then if all of that happens, forks might have a chance of still existing.

This is how most big open source projects (like Linux, gnome, mesa, etc) thrive. With the catch that while most tech companies have some stake in Linux and friends, no company other than google has any stake in Firefox existing.

They die. Full stop.

Not even Microsoft had the strength to maintain a browser engine, that’s why they moved Edge to Chromium, they gave up.

Ah, it wasn’t my comment, I don’t have opinions on that. I just wanted to bitch about the idea of opinions being inherently correct

in which universe 75+25=110

My bad, I meant the 75+35=100 thing, which is a common mistake people make when doing brain math. Just imagine I said 35 in the thread.

Back to the topic. “Who decides…” I clearly said some opinions are neither right nor wrong, if something is subjective, it by definition is neither right nor wrong. “No law to force/prohibit” I also specifically said you are entitled to have wrong opinions, so we can ignore the entire “forcing/prohibiting” conundrum.

Next paragraph. “… These are facts that can be true or wrong” exactly, and when I say “in my opinion <fact> is true” this is also a fact (a true one) in which I say “<fact> is true” is my opinion, but if “<fact>” is actually false, this is a wrong opinion that I shouldn’t have.

An opinion is a fact you believe is true. But some facts are false and it’s wrong to believe they are true. “Your opinion is wrong” does not mean that “it’s false that you have that opinion”. Not every opinion can be just wrong or right, as I said multiple times.

“I think we should …” is not an opinion, it is a factual statement about an opinion ("we should…) which you have, and thus it’s either true or false depending on whether you have that opinion (“it’s true that you think …”) or not (“it’s not true that you think”).

An opinion might be right or wrong if it’s an opinion you should or should not have, some of course are neither because not everything in life is just yes or no. Opinions about facts that are false or facts that are true are easily categorized as wrong and right opinions.

“75+25=110” is an example of a true statement and thus a right opinion to have. “We should change 75+25 to be 100” is a false statement and thus an opinion that you shouldn’t have. “Pirandello is better than D’Annunzio” is neither true nor false, but you can still think that and hold it as an opinion, like I do, “I think Pirandello …” is a true statement about my opinion.

In my opinion you are entitled to hold an opinion regardless whether it’s true or wrong or neither.

Abaci and mechanical differentiators did the job just fine for a couple centuries.

Well, opinions can be wrong. When someone says an opinion is wrong they don’t mean that it’s not true that you have that opinion, but rather that it’s an opinion you should not have.

And some opinions like any other ideas are just wrong. You are entitled to have them, just as much as you are entitled to be wrong, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s wrong.

For example “we should change math so that 25+75=100” is an example of a wrong opinion.

This meme is so old it uses jQuery

The Windows Key is saved in the bios and visible in config, though. You should be able to use it on a different computer or to sell it on some questionable markets. I don’t think it’s strictly legal to resell it, but c’mon… who has never bought a 10€ OEM windows key on ebay?

Does he control them? Or are they still bodyparts of their owners, just remote and attached to him?

Did we evolve to like butts because walking upright upright was advantageous? Or did we evolve to walk upright because we liked butts?

Tizio 😭

Celluloid does much less than vlc, why not just using mpv (which celluloid uses as backend) so you have a full player
