I’m using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.
It’s so funny to me that humans use numbers that are big to small, but some people are that dates should be small to big. Maybe other languages do it differently. But UK folks saying day month year is better while writing the individual number big to small is so wacky to me. Today is 2025-04-27. If they said it like “7 and 20, April, 5 and 20 two thousand” it might make more sense, but no, it’s “27 April 2025”.
Mac’s APFS is like this too, to an extent. I don’t know the details but it’s also in that gray area.
Don’t be upset it took people a long time to realize Visual Studio Code is fauxpen source, just be glad they’re finally realizing it. No need to be condescending and make people feel ashamed over it.
It’s crazy how much Canonical has trashed their reputation.
Ubuntu in 2009 or so. Booting school computers onto the live DVD felt like hacking. I think around 2016 I installed some spin of Ubuntu on my laptop and used it somewhat regularly. Prior to that it was just random times I felt like using the dual boot function. I mostly used Windows. It took until 2025 for me to switch my desktop to Cachy OS.
It’s so crazy to me that ads pay less and subscriptions cost more.
without controversy
Anno 1800 was an Epic exclusive (and Ubisoft’s Uplay) for a year on release. It was available for pre order on Steam. I believe people that bought it on Steam prior to the one year exclusivity deal still got it. It was a whole thing though. Definitely would call it a controversy.
(I am a different person, not arguing anything about this particular vulnerability or the government’s funding of Tor.)
I think you’re defining backdoor too literally. I get your point, but colloquially it just means to get something nefarious in. If someone is saying “the government has a backdoor in an encryption algorithm” it would mean they believe the government has a vulnerability in that allows them to easily break the encryption, not necessarily a separate “door” or something.
Puppy?
Yes, the “not supported” thing is just their terminology. They could decide to stop pushing them at any time. Though technically they could pull the plug on anything whenever, but they’re explicitly saying “we might stop supporting these unsupported Windows 11 installations at any time.”
They didn’t get rid of it, they’re allowing you to upgrade to 11 and calling it unsupported. Just like 10 is unsupported.
Trying to rename a file to use the correct capitalization in a git repository on my Windows laptop for work was tricky. Or maybe it was subversion. Actually I think it was subversion. Either way it was a weird little puzzle for the day.
