Oh, I see.

I can cry foul towards Microsoft all day here, but not some faux charity which hosts fuck parties with underage and forced prostitutes.

Makes sense.

It's conceptually similar to wine, but rather a reimplementation of the reference Android, which is AOSP.

I tried to search hamburger code on the web. It gave me Roblox and a bunch of CSS hamburger menus.

Sorry to ask, but what are these hamburgers you speak of?

Really it's anyone using teams on older or cheaper hardware.

    > We work in a very large Javascript monorepo at Microsoft we colloquially call 1JS.

I used to call it office.com.. Teams is the worst offender there. Even a website with a cryptominer on it runs faster than that junk.

Honey, I shrunk the git!

Improving documentation is an often underrated contribution.

Have you read man pages by the same author as the program itself? When you can tell before looking up the name, there's a needed and worthy contribution waiting to happen.

It's not too late for that.

ITT: people who never installed an RDBMS that used a storage device instead of a filesystem, such as Db2.

Fine.

But they'll never fire their halloween execs.

Open source never had any of the ethics or philosophy that free software has.

Free software > open source.

I let the illiterates use it, but if they don't need root they don't get root. Debian stable with auto-unattend.

The root user can install rootkits as usual. Don't forget to brand it a cool name.... Oh wait:

There you go, here's your 0xF minutes of fame, well played.

bubblesnort — Sat, 26 Oct 2024 14:47:22 +0000

Interesting. I haven't ever seen a Linux fork change the actual name before. Doing so while maintaining BC is quite a challenge.

I'd imagine me on a computer in the future:

    $ uname -a

    Microborg MCS+ (Windows 18, like Linux) Azure 99.99.99

When PGP couldn't be exported and OpenBSD had to set up camp in Canada, the same people who are upset now were silent then. The resistance back then was both clever and peaceful.

I don't understand your logic. Zip and rm are different commands or functions.

However, I understand this could be an easy way of doing Qubes OS without Qubes OS.

The only place I see where wireguard can be set up is as a proxy for DNS. Perhaps that would still allow changing the default gateway?

That only uses wg for DNS queries. Everything else remains untunneled.

Thanks, looks cool. XFCE is an excellent choice. It's also my daily driver.

Could you shed light on ab actual use case for this? I think I'm not seeing the elephant in the room here. Personally, quick desktop VMs would be perfect for remote work, kiosks, gui integration tests, and various showcases.

What am I missing here?

They could close shop and start a really cool aviation museum. Plenty of relics to come by.
