I’ll make it spin my desktop cube, force every window to move slightly so they wobble and play Louis Theroux’s lyric Jiggle Jiggle.
Why? Just because Windows uses can’t.
Not going to lie, I think I lost interest after the 3rd reference to “Nix” and there being no guide as to whether it means Unix-like, Nix (the plan9 fork), NixOS (Linux distro), Nix (the package manager) or something referred to as “The Nix Language”
Wait, there’s a GNU Epoch as well?
Which version of stat do you have? I get the same blank result locally on ext4 and btrfs filesystems (not over nfs) using stat 8.30 on an rpi4 (raspbian, 5.10.103-v8+).
Seems to work fine with stat 8.32 on xfs on a spot instance I have, running Rocky 9 (5.14.0-362.13.1.el9_3.x86_64).
I thought there might be more info in the changelog: info coreutils aqstat invocationaq
but I’m not seeing it.
They’re advertising alt-cigarette products, right? Probably from their parent companies alt subsidiary.
I vaguely remember in the '90s they used to have slips like that in the UK. Can’t remember if it was advertising or things like “Collect 100 of these tokens, get a 20 pack for free!”
creating an app that essentially copped their proprietary OS
The OS hasn’t been ‘copped’. They emulated the protocol, and your lack of understanding and confusing the two has led us to having this conversation.
Because you’re confusing the difference between an OS, an application and a protocol.
That’s surprising, as I think the first Windows TCP/IP stack was ported over from BSD by Spider Systems (pretty sure that’s why it still has things like “/etc/hosts” - albeit under System32). Wonder if the bug was in BSD and never backported (cross ported?).
This is nothing to do with the OS.
He has a point though, you haven’t refuted that.
Why? As the article states this actually lessens security for everyone (including iPhone users).
There’s a bit of nuance here. Mad cow disease (BSE) was a big deal, yes, but vCJD (the human form) was not prevalent - as of a few years ago, I think there was less than 200 cases in the UK, and less than 250 cases worldwide - ever. As it can be dormant for decades they believe, it’s why the UK population and visitors at those times is not allowed. Keep in mind, in the UK we do still donate blood - we don’t have to import it from elsewhere. But as it’s such a horrific disease, it’s easier to just say “No one from the UK can donate blood.” it’s not like it would impact other countries blood supplies, and keeps them a bit safer.
I mean, I did quote the partial sentence from the link. You can look that up.
with focus shifted towards completing the port to GTK3
Is that a typo? I would have thought most software was shifting to GTK4 now?
This is kinda how I feel about Windows these days. It’s interface, directory structure, shudder the registry, user specific apps (from MS Store or Winget), buttons being inserted into the menu bars on some apps, but not others, button sizes being different sizes, some parts still using the Metro interface. The whole thing either needs a re-write, or should be dropped and something new to replace it. Don’t even get me started on things like the eventvwr hanging for 20 seconds after it opens, event tracer API, their in-house abandonment of powershell modules once powershell was open sourced, Windows containers being a disaster, etc.
raises pendantic finger Ah-hem, sorry, but KDE Plasma isn’t an OS. It’s a desktop environment. For an OS bundled/built-around Plasma then Kubuntu or KDE Neon are both Linux distributions that would better fit that description.
In the UK we tend not to tip if there’s a service charge.
Can you reformat that drive as exFAT? That should remove NTFS as being a reason to keep Windoze around (and even if you do need Windoze, it should be able to read that format fine as well).
Bard to the rescue (or it’s just flat out lying, it does that a lot to me, with confidence).
There’s Karma on Lemmy?
