Yeah you try that. Your trial isn’t going to take 4 years.

Fun times on Lemmy today

if I know anything about advisory councils in tech it was pure optics and letting them all go will have absolutely zero impact on the normal flow of business beside the current bad press.

I would love to know if they ever affected company policy even slightly.

I have a few 2015 laptops, the last time the apple logo lights up like it damn well should, (and their operating systems are still getting updates almost a decade later) ipods and an iphone 6 I’ve fixed, apple TV because it was cheap enough. all told I’m in it for less than the cost of a new macbook and apple hasn’t got a cent yet. I have an imac from 2008 I found on the side of the road that actually needs linux but a computer of that vintage in 2008 would be a paperweight at best, the fact it’s still useful as a computer at all is astonishing to me.

I had a 7800 with custom bios and ram cart and would play a kaboom hack that started at max difficulty and ramped from there

a lot of early 2000s 2600 homebrews would probably make my list but Thrust+ is the GOAT

I recently got into the apple ecosystem and am loving it.

I know this is a linux community and apple is literally the devil but I haven’t had a bad experience with it yet.

Then why are there still coconuts? Check mate atheists

Doesn’t matter, if I’m 12 then it will always be the wrong thing.

…or as I’ve come to call it grep+linux

the best jokes have a kernel of truth.

The VM is optimised for the OS, the OS is usually a fresh install with just that 1 program you need to use instead of you’re entire life scattered across the desktop, it can be a snapshot of the system in an optimal state right after running an unfuck windows script that removes default system malware which doesn’t let it reinstall, it has less system resources to deal with for the simple fact it can’t use them all at the same time as the base OS.

it’s not a drop in replacement and anyone looking for one will be disappointed by literally anything available.

You’re learning an entirely new operating system, don’t think of it as an upgrade, this is a time sink. You’ll be under the hood more than on the road for the foreseeable future, but what’s the alternative?

Windows running on a VM under linux runs faster than windows on bare metal …

depends if you think anonymous interactions are as impactful as people you actually know.

oh god, is this actually worse?

“This thing that is terrible for everyone is also terrible for this specific subset of everyone …”

also rating social media apps is like rating your favourite STDs

“Biometric confirmation” is both

he was closing the <span>

I hung around art station for a bit but there is no replacement for what deviantart used to be and that’s a real shame.

Deviantart died a very very long time ago. the creature currently wearing it’s skin can fuck off and die for all I or any other actual artist cares.

yep they fuckin got us

but it’s not like our posts are safe here either. This is the world we live in now.
