No sweat, try mirroring a private tracker and you’ll very quickly run out lol. You need a couple of petabytes worth.

The real problem is the price of HDDs not going down due to lower production in light of SSDs.

I fully expect WD to drop this as some stupidly expensive SAS drives that almost no consumer will buy. They should at least apply the dual heads for speed tech so we get faster HDDs for the same price.

4 days?

Took me 4 seconds to realize I can actually use the super key and have my start menu pop up instantly and not watch it struggle to load 50 ads and tell me to download candy crush

tbf to this thread, wayland wasn’t really viable until 2023.

I made an existing comment on this that people didn’t like because I pointed out that most of Wayland’s “modern upgrades” like VRR, HDR, etc were unimplemented or unfinished for years. Even HDR is still “beta” on KDE iirc.

People also like to pretend the triple buffer wasn’t a can of worms for many users for a very long time (and still is on low power devices).

People talking about history without mentioning the laziest answer is to use an alias, which bash usually has ll = la -la or my personal preference is ll = ls -lAh (list + Everything except . and .. + human readable file size)

Okay fair but do you know anyone who actually used D-VHS lol.

VHS next to DVD on a CRT is why lol.

Good sound fidelity is easier to reach on a vinyl record than good video fidelity on magnetic tape. Hence why even old TV shows that were shot on film look great on modern TVs, but their tape counterparts look dated.

That all being said, VHS has inherently more sentimental value due to its widespread use for personal and home video. Anyone still using vinyl is either a hobbyist, collector, or moronic audiophile who can’t cope with stuff like opus or even flac/wav.

SEATO

If you want to ruin a concert’s day, change the thermostat a few clicks lol.

Funny thing is you can actually conduct pretty well with just your hand.

Also a good conductor is usually an astoundingly good player of multiple instruments themselves.

It’s kind of like how football (soccer) team managers are retired players that can still play better than the entire stadium wearing loafers and a suit.

Compiz and Wayfire:

Okay so funny story, I needed to spin up a non enterprise windows VM with defender disabled for testing and got to experience the horror of local group policy not actually applying the disable setting because Microsoft disabled the functionality without telling anyone.

And then I learned you can no longer disable defender on non domain joined systems without downloading a perma disable tool.

Otherwise group policy looks so cool until you run Bloodhound and realize you’ve created a security nuke lmao.

Thank God we have Linux

Is this sarcasm about git/svn or are you serious?

The window snapping introduced in vista/7 and the old start menu from vista/7.

Actually I might need to reduce that percentage lmao

Windows registry is an absolute horror show even without the GUI lmao.

At least on linux you will usually be greeted by a nice integrated GTK or Qt layout.

Windows is 40% archaic stuff from the 90s, 40% tirefire PWA/electron apps, and 20% of normal design that keeps them barely ahead of OSX.

Default zsh is just bash, you need to add all the fancy plugins to get it to do cool stuff

fish is for people who don’t want to spend the time setting it all up and to just get a shell that has most of the QoL fetaures builtin.

Kali, ParrotOS, and BlackArch are the B-52s flying overhead out of the frame

Surprisingly no, but I’m pretty sure he’s the reason lemmy.ml has a separate world news community lol.

For claiming GMOs are bred for glyphosate resistance, which is the real reason why USDA Organic products grew significantly in the market, not because consumers actually think Organic produce is “naturally” healthier.

But this was only enforced after I pissed off the mod in Political Memes and he went backwards through my comment history to find me in another community he mods to delete another comment lol.

Still a million times better than the reddit experience.
