In PowerShell most common cmdlets for basic operations have aliases by default. And funnily enough you can use both Windows (cmd.exe) and Unix shell names for these. (copy vs cp, del vs rm, etc.)

AFAIK The cmdlets that you use only by Verb-Noun convention are mostly used in scripts, or in some administration tasks.

I also think that some poeple miss the point of PowerShell, as it’s not supposed to be worked with like with Unix shells, since it’s more object-oriented than string-oriented.

TIL.

If you’re on Debian Stable you might have a version of Thunderbird that doesn’t have this feature, since software there is a bit “outdated”. Next stable (trixie) releases in few months though.

They better don’t attack too much, because all of the internet is built on FOSS infrastructure, and they might stop working, lol.

It’s like they are not even trying. I have a laptop with 7th gen CPU that works perfectly fine. I don’t have any choice than install Linux, lol.

MAME (Arcade and various consoles/computers emulator) is at version 0.275 and it’s been developed since 1996. 😀

I sometimes write something that might be controversial, so unless I have a lot of free time I don’t open Lemmy at all, lol.

Same. People look at me all the time for some reason, although who the fuck knows why.

I don’t see the point of watching upscaled version of an old TV show. It ruins the atmosphere. It’s like playing the NES version of Tetris on an emulator and using HD textures for some reason.

Also if you’d want to upscale it anyway, why not provide source material and allow customers to use any upscaler they want?

macOS is a certified UNIX, sure, but according to some 2002 specification, and if you modify your system in such matter that it will be in nearly broken state.

Windows 8.1 was amazingly good, simple and fast, if you ignored whole Metro thing. You could also install 3rd party start menu alternative, if you needed it.

As for later Windows versions 7 and 8.1 were pretty stable and lightweight. It was only in the later versions of Windows 10 when it became filled with ads and some stupid bloatware.

Earlier Windows 2000 and XP were of course also amazingly well made and even lighter, but weren’t exactly as stable.

Unless computer companies include Linux with their PC’s, it will never get general adoption.

No average user will follow instructions on how to boot Linux distro installer, especially when there are multiple steps needed to do so, such as on UEFI systems.

I was that guy, but I gave up and just call it Linux, since there’s really no other name you can call it at that point. GNU/Linux is as correct as Systemd/Linux or Electron/Linux (for these quite a few VScode/Spotify/Discord/Other Electron app enjoyers).

Isn’t using a rolling distro, without updating it at least every couple of days (or even every single day) a big security risk?

I find them pretty good for English spoken by native speakers. For anything else it’s horrible.

Lunduke is great to listen as long as his videos are not about “wokeness”, and lately all of them are, so I ended up unsubscribing him.

1. Learn FreeBSD.

2. Learn Linux.

I know that this will anger some people, but I just use the defaults and I don’t get why there are so many fonts, since they don’t seem that much different to me.

Can you elaborate more on that? I’ve thought Proton is well respected company, given their promise of respecting privacy of their users.
