No, it was to run Teams as a PWA on Linux.

I develop software that runs on Windows, so I have to use it to some degree. I would pay so much money for an officially-supported version that lets me cut out all the shit I don’t need and not deal with stupid thirst tricks. For the longest, I just ran Windows Server in a VM.

I recently installed Edge for a technical reason and was instantly grossed out by all the stupid bling they’ve added to it.

I use FDE because my locks are easily pickable. I don’t trust the landlord’s son that lives in the unit above mine. Also the computer is near a big window. Property crime is a popular activity in the area, so the smash-and-grab is a plausible threat. Defence in depth, though, so I still lock the front and interior office doors.

Every time I hear this word firefish, I cannot help but be reminded of the phrase "turds of the firefish", which appears quite randomly in one of Orson Scott Card's novels.

If the Mac were half as repairable as a Framework and could run Windows VMs without crashing when they run my default tools, I might be interested in one again.

In my opinion, we either have free will, or we have something else that is effectively indistinguishable from free will. The whole debate is a waste of time, and a person should act as if they had free will regardless of the answer.

Do not challenge him to a limbo match.

Neither: I am not aware of it.

Notice how none of these replies are “AI assistant”?

Excellent. Just in time for some migration of my root filesystem I’ve been wanting to do.

Front. Butt.

Funny thing. The reputation of Vista is universal, so I don't doubt it at all. However, I ran Vista starting from beta and never had a problem with it. I must have had the magic hardware combination that worked. My least favourite Windows release was 8.

Thanks for this. I’ll check his books out.

Tell them if no VPN, they’re getting sued by a bunch of copyright holders.

We're talking cross-platform depravity these days.

I even explicitly called out my statement as tongue-in-cheek, so it’s not to be taken 100% seriously. And full disclosure: I myself am not a PHP developer, but much worse: a PowerShell developer, among other languages.

You might be interested to know that I'm writing this comment from the Tri-Cities Area.
