Blaukraut bleibt Blaukraut und Brautkleid bleibt Brautkleid.

You can make a game out of it. I once had a colleague who mastered it: didn't care too much about most sports but knew which colleague liked which sport and which team. So he checked scores and every time a colleague's favorite team lost he innocently asked at work how the game was. It's risky since people can get really emotional about it but it's usually lots of fun.

Good luck doing that remotely. Which is the sole problem with this most recent CrowdStrike bug.

Go away with your sensible explanations, we have conspiracy to uncover.

It works well - for a Windows subsystem. It is well-integrated but also separate which can be annoying sometimes.

For example, you might code in Python in VSC against a WSL folder but make a script to eventually run in Windows. You need to install and update Python twice then - a Linux and a Windows version (obvious, but can be annoying).

WSL is also really slow, especially for filesystem heavy stuff. You know how on Linux programs sometimes run faster via Wine/Proton than on Windows itself? Yeah, this is the other way around.

It was earlier, when they released Windows 7 and it was the first (and only) release, management gave development a largely free hand and they could bring down some technical debt.

But apparently that didn't work out for Microsoft and now we get one dystopian news after another.

American beer, we have some of the worlds best

Such as? I'm not at all a beer gourmet and don't particularly dislike American beer (not even the light variants) but I've been to multiple states and never got a beer I considered top notch.

For example I've been to Florida just recently and apparently IPA is the shit nowadays. Didn't like a single one of them, they all tasted artificial.

Edit: Also, I hope your bar for European beer isn't stuff like Heineken or Beck's. They are not bad but pretty basic stuff sold worldwide. Nobody in Europe considers those particularly great.

... are visual and therefore no proof.

Isn't the POSIX incompatibility a major roadblock when scripting?

Tomb Raider was released in 1996 and DK64 in 1999. Three years were kind of a big difference back then.

Linux via Proton is effectively an emulation or translation layer,

Akshually, wine is not an emulator!

I'll see myself out.

It'll drop the price, so there's that at least.

Nah, it has 100% - of the first season and until the shop refreshes.

And season passes. And a monthly subscription even for the base game.

It must be a really deeply integrated part of the Windows kernel because it has never been able to show progress properly.

Back in the days of floppy disks it always felt that actual copying started when the progress showed 100%.

There's a German saying about that: "Ich hab schon Pferde kotzen sehen" (I've seen horses vomit) implying you've seen everything, even the impossible.

Lemmy users are mostly Americans. You can't really walk anywhere in the US unless you're in a mall or a long distance runner. Everything is spread out.

Allegedly, the product was virtually indistinguishable from butter.

Well it says

Margarine made from them was found to be nutritious and of agreeable taste

Doesn't sound indistinguishable to me.
