“He’s going after that anti-marketing dollar, that’s a lucrative market.”

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 got all the Buffy animation I could find to make a season 8 intro and that shit was up for a decade before it got a claim

Actually that would be Darude’s law

Ironically it’s only used on phones now so it’s clearly not the chemical hardening alone that made them amazing.

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.

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

Mental and dental

I recently found out that if you’re in casual work that is enough to be excused in Australia. It’s not on the paperwork they send you so most people don’t know.

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

I’m sorry it has come to this but I’m revoking your millennial card

We mostly know classical

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?

fuck, how do I keep forgetting that one.

Have you tried making art? I hear mental disorders are a pre-requisite to being successful at that.

He’s not a real astronaut, this cowboy hat comes right off.

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