Gun! Unix? Not!
Are the version numbers going to be mm or caliber?

GNU isn’t punchy though; as soon as any punchy word get’s associated with them, people will use that word instead, and we’ll just get GNU/Thermite or GNU/Abson or something.
Wait until you need nested commas, those lists won’t delineate themselves!
Now I want to see a flip phablet with a footlong screen.
To be fair here, appdata is technically a hidden folder and there are lots of reasons an app would want it’s data accessable by the user.
Pulseaudio can remap channels directly, so you can take a 7.1 input and output two entire stereo outputs to a 7.1 speaker system, which would solve my issue and then some. Making a custom profile is a tad more involved than clicking buttons, but CLI isn’t needed at all.
I found a solution in under a minute that should work on most modern Linux DEs. I suppose it’s not by an official Linux support channel, but AskUbuntu was literally the first search result.
Ah, support as in “this program is supported”. I can definitely agree with that
better than any other platform out there when it comes to support
Lol, as a user Windows support is garbage. Every step is “restart, reinstall drivers, scannow”.
None of those things are going to make windows pass all LR audio to the FLR channels of a 5.1 system, yet I know it’s possible. It can happen if enough settings are fiddled with, but I don’t know which ones, and it gets reset every reboot.
None of those things are going to stop some system utility maxing out disk writing and freezing the system for 10 minutes every boot.
None of those things will stop hardware acceleration from crashing my browser.
- Lack of middle click paste.
- Lack of the ability to drag windows using “alt”.
- I can’t change the volume by using the scroll wheel.
These feel like DE specific complaints rather than Windows complaints. I wish I could use windowkey to switch applications for example.
Changing sliders with mouse wheel does sound cool, I want that.
Your last memory of Windows is 7? Lucky.
8 was Vista but with mobile UI.
10 eventually fixed 80% of 8’s problems, and added some gaming performance. Also, ads for featured windows store games. It’ll even preinstall them for you!
11 is just 10 but with most of the sensible parts removed. Also, you need DRM in your CPU to use it. UX? What’s that?
Sigh I miss 7…
It’s more appealing than the Did Not Finish command. That’s to thematically close to flaming crashes for my liking.
I thought so too for a while. Apparently there’s a bit of setup you need to do for it to work. Just browse the site setting a bit and choose a server.
Word of mouth has always been far more powerful, and especially now in the internet age.
I’m not opposed to allowing ads, but until there are enforceable limits it’s too risky. If a service that serves a malware ad or a scam ad risks its entire system being blocked across all sites, then maybe we could get somewhere.
We’d need something like ad server whitelists and fast-acting disqualifications. No ad server anonymity or rapid name changes, no adding backdoors for your friends. If your break the guidelines, you loose the ability to do business anywhere for at least a day.
The [youtube(.)com] link is the actual website that you watch the video on which can have a crap load of extra stuff like playlist info, highlighted comment info, where you came from, and probably more. The links can get really long, like 100+ characters.
The [youtu(.)be] link is a redirect website who’s only purpose is to reduce the size of the link to just the watch ID and timestamp. It dumps even the query language to keep the links under 30 characters or so.
Such link shorteners (such as bit(.)ly or tinyurl) were popular when Twitter was getting big and the character limit was an SMS message length; 140 characters. youtu(.)be in particular helped avoid bait and switch scams (as you can tell it’s definitely a video instead of going in blind) and it has the watch ID so titles, thumbnails, and embeds still work.
I’ve only had two mentionable issues with Linux so far: A GPU bug that causes a few games to reliably hang my GPU (which may have been fixed recently with newer mesa drivers; I haven’t checked), and Helvum not recognizing anything (which was probably me installing it wrong or something).
Windows however… Changing system settings with no warning, forgetting network configuration out of the blue, GPU crashes that hard rebooted windows, and driver updates that prevent booting at all. Some software gets installed without notice, others get removed without notice. The forced update debacle has lost me more than one open document. I’ve had critical audio issues on every machine I’ve used, including individual school machines that should be identical. Several of my remaining windows machines have issues with various system programs maxing out the disk write speed and locking up everything for dozens of minutes at a time.
And then more recently there’s the security violations, always online behavior, enshitification, and removal of user choice.
This may be a tad biased as I’ve used windows for a few decades and Linux for just over a year, but going back is always a chore…
Man, a monospace fixed size array would be really nice for ASCII art eh? Kinda like a text image. I suppose you could take a screenshot, but then there’s image hosting issues in the future.
Sorry, random idea.
Urge? Kinda dark and villainous feeling.
Upgrade! “The Rust Upgrade Strike Team! Upgrade Today!” Sounds very propagandistic, almost doublespeak.
Ultimatum? Mildly threatening.
Utopia? It has the self righteous feel.
Uhvangelism, hurhur.
Universalism?
And then compacted them!
Prism runs better than the official launcher on both windows and linux, I don’t what the issue is. Java maybe?
If you want to edit macros in Excel, you’ll see a Vista window. Vista! In 2024!
