Surely they do have the legal basis, that's how the fine got issued. What they're missing is any way to enforce it.

I guess watch out for different line endings in files "\r\n" in Windows, "\n" in Linux. The best thing to do there if possible is use tools in Windows that preserve Linux line endings so you never see "\r\n" in Linux at runtime.

If you're using classes under the System.Drawing namespace then a lot of functionality is missing in Linux, but I don't know much about that. The 3rd party ImageSharp library fills some of the gap and is just generally awesome.

Other than that, I'm sure there's niche things but nothing is coming to mind!

To get runtime case-sensitivity problems with filenames I guess you must be doing something like having resource files as part of your project and then loading them from disk at runtime, but the code that loads them is being told the slightly wrong filename. Depending on why you need to load those files, there's not much you can do about that except stop coding the wrong filenames!

There are things that can help with filesystem differences though, if you're not using them already look under the System.IO namespace

Path.Combine will combine path segments using the native directory separator either `/` or `\`.

Path.GetTempFileName will create a temporary file on disk so you don't need to know if that's `/tmp` or `C:\whereverwindowsputsit\`

Mostly everything just works when coding on Windows and deploying to Linux, I think it is only the filesystem differences that ever cause problems and even then it's down to coding mistakes.

protip: You can make synctrain sync with an iOS shortcut, with the shortcut being triggered when Obsidian is opened or closed. This means you're always in sync, even if iOS hasn't allowed synctrain to run in the background.

I like the idea of using the new app, but in the browser I can use ublock to remove the weird "Inbox Zero!" celebration. Is there any plan to allow that kind of empty inbox configuration in the app?

If revenue doesn't catch up with the cost of developing and running these huge LLMs then the only way to avoid an AI winter is to find a way to make them way cheaper to develop.

But if Meta believe it's a bubble then why not let the competition continue to waste their money pumping it up? How does popping it early benefit Meta?

I'm not a Financial Advisor so I'm not qualified to make suggestions. But a lot of people find this [0] flow chart useful. It's UK focussed and you can probably skip to Step 8 (so maybe not that helpful?) but what it says for most people is that they should look at making long term investments in low cost index funds in a tax efficient savings wrapper (e.g. an ISA account in the UK)

Buying individual properties as an investment can be a huge headache, even trying to sell the investment can take a long time. And as the other reply said, it is quite risky to have so much tied up in a single property where anything could happen to it.

You're trying to solve two problems:

- Want to invest in an asset to keep some wealth outside your bank account.

- Want to have a place you can escape to, but without too much maintenance.

I would think about solving two problems with two solutions.

- Invest some money in funds (e.g. property investment funds if you really want property).

- Use some of the interest to rent fun places to go on holiday to.
