You can always try 4chan’s /r/ board. It’s specifically for requesting shit, usually links to pirated content.

Haven’t teied using it in almost a decade though, so can’t vouch too well for it.

Whatever this is, it doesn’t work well without prior understanding of whatever this manga is and how that Sci-Fi gun works. Who’s firing at who? What in the fuck is even going on? If Windows is veering off target then why are we seeing people blown up like it was successful?

I’m guessing that your joke is that all the Linux variants are some overcharged killshot, but Windows can’t hit the target? But then some of the panels make no sense.

So is this is in essence “I drew myself as the chad and you as the sad soyjak, that means I win!”?

Where funny?

There’s even emails that are now public record due to a court case with the Department of Justice that confirm this!

Wonderful, but very long (and detailed) writeup here.

This has nothing to do with Linux and everything to do with using unfamiliar equipment and/or software. I’ve gotten those comments on seprarate occasions from having command prompt up and from having an IDE up in dark mode. Also from using an external HDD, external sd card reader/writer, wired mouse, and wired keyboard back when external hdds were relatively niche. Too many wires I guess.

Welcome to Linux Memes.

Why can a shape tool not be pixel based? There’s no intrinsic requirement for vectors.

Have you tried tossing the URLs into yt-dlp? That’s the go-to software for downloading video from streaming sites.

Wait, they’re adding vinyl cutting to the extruder? What in the mad science hell?

I can’t see a world where that works well unless the cutter is on a different part. I’d imagine that a vinyl cutting head has entirely different design considerations and constraints than a 3D filament extruder.

You’re making a huge assumption based only on the fact that Windows hides these logs from the end user.

I’ve had line of sight to those logs through a system that automatically highlights those errors and warnings for something like eight years now, for a fleet of over 1000 Windows machines at the start which is now roughly 5000 total.

In that time I’ve seen less than 200 graphics driver issues logged, and they all were on machines with failing hardware.

Yes, they are not anywhere as visible to the end user as they are on Linux, but they are also significantly less common (graphics issues in particular).

Also, if the warnings are meaningless, why display them to the end user? It’s just more noise that actual problems can sneak by in.

https://rentry.co/MR-EverythingWindowsExplained#installing-windows has further info, but tl;dr- install without a key, then use MASgrave after it’s installed.

I honestly don’t remember the specifics of how I’ve got my Pro install configured for updates. I think it doesn’t notify of available updates until they’ve been out a month (keeps me from pulling down a bleeding edge update that causes more problems than it fixes), downloads them so they’ll auto-install on shutdown/restart for a week, and if I don’t uodate that week then it flashes up the “your organization requires you to update by [next week]” message. I don’t think it actually forces when that week runs out, so you’re probably right, but it’s been a long time since I’ve went two whole weeks without shutting down or rebooting.

I do know that I’ve got “feature updates” (read OS changes) set to only be available if I manually install them. So the whole “Windows forces you to upgrade to 11” complaint is pure BS at least.

You can totally stop updates on Windows. Fully off. They don’t offer good options for updating on demand on your own schedule, but you can disable updates entirely and for pro and enterprise skus you can use GPO for additional delay options.

How exactly? You can’t just say “better because fedi”, that’s a non-answer.

You have got to be an absolute newfriend if you think that shit works at all even for 4chan itself.

4chan’s style as a concept doesn’t work too well with the concepts of the rest of the fediverse. There’s no benefit to federating anonymous image and text posts across multiple servers and merging those feeds together. Especially if the content is meant to be ephemeral, why are you wasting bandwidth replicating it? Hell, with the average lemmy server’s replication delay the original content would be gone before it could replicate anywhere.

There’d also be no reason for each “instance” to not be its own separate entity with no federation. It’s not like 4chan really does crossposting between boards, you just can link between them.

Also, having spent far more time on the chans than is in any way healthy, there still isn’t any real solution for good or consistent moderation. Federation doesn’t inherently make moderation better or easier, if anything it complicates things in that regard.

Edit, additional info: Certain threads on /vg/ have been dealing with their own thread specific trolls for literal years with no mod action. Some of the threads have figured out rough schedules of mods based off what type of shit gets removed and when.

Federation is not a magical pill for better quality. I direct you to explodingheads, or plenty of other examples of shit instances documented by fediseer.

For the record, Sea Of Thieves is also available as a standalone purchase through Steam, bypassing the Microsoft Store and their half abandoned UWP format entirely. Never had any issues with the Steam version on Windows.

Because despite the insistence for years, those are not the same thing. Full stop.

Hi, I’m Nicole wizardbeard! I’m a proud aromatic Polish Abyssal girl tube sock with googly eyes from Toronto the space between your walls (29 y/o 50 ft)

I’m currently taking the pre-health sciences program at George Brown College socks from your dryer hoping to get into the medical field find a broodmother for the spawn that will form the ranks of my holy army someday!

You can’t add me on Friendica. It’s far too late for that. Far far too late for anyone to do anything to stop this.

Your socks may be returned to you but they may never be the same.

Don’t feel dumb! This is just normal learning!

Symlinks are possible in Windows (at least in NTFS filesystems) but to my knowledge they aren’t used by anything official.

Windows’s weird “psuedo folders” thing it does with “Documents” etc is something else entirely.

To summarize my comment on your post of this article on lemmy.ml:

Literally who?

How in the absolute fuck does any group not involved in hosting the largest fediverse instances even begin to justify looking for $1.3 Million in funding?
