Gotcha. We’re almost twice as many.

Not necessarily even that. Piracy can benefit the developer by increasing popularity. Piracy made Bill Gates a billionaire despite his fighting tooth and nails against it.

Millennials grew up alongside modern computing (meaning the two matured together). We dealt with everything from BASIC on a C64 to DOS and then through Windows 3 through current. We also grew up alongside Linux

Only the oldest millenials did. When the youngest were born, the internet and Windows 95 were readily available and they were in middle school when the iPhone came out.

It’s actually quite similar. Non-fungible since only OP has the private key but easy to steal by just downloading the image (and cropping the key if you want).

I’m still proper pissed about this.

The fact that someone already felt the need to downvote this after so few votes already confirms that problem. It’s politics in every damn community (fortunately mostly the comments, not the actual content).

But it can also be a matter of (inexperienced) devs just deciding, fuck it, I won’t try to merge it, I’ll just copy my changes elsewhere and throw away the repo.

Pretty sure that’s actually it. Git has a learning curve and, for example, some naive rebase not working out as intended can be scary if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Good luck doing that remotely. Which is the sole problem with this most recent CrowdStrike bug.

Go away with your sensible explanations, we have conspiracy to uncover.

It works well - for a Windows subsystem. It is well-integrated but also separate which can be annoying sometimes.

For example, you might code in Python in VSC against a WSL folder but make a script to eventually run in Windows. You need to install and update Python twice then - a Linux and a Windows version (obvious, but can be annoying).

WSL is also really slow, especially for filesystem heavy stuff. You know how on Linux programs sometimes run faster via Wine/Proton than on Windows itself? Yeah, this is the other way around.

It was earlier, when they released Windows 7 and it was the first (and only) release, management gave development a largely free hand and they could bring down some technical debt.

But apparently that didn’t work out for Microsoft and now we get one dystopian news after another.

Isn’t the POSIX incompatibility a major roadblock when scripting?

Linux via Proton is effectively an emulation or translation layer,

Akshually, wine is not an emulator!

I’ll see myself out.

It’ll drop the price, so there’s that at least.

Nah, it has 100% - of the first season and until the shop refreshes.

And season passes. And a monthly subscription even for the base game.

It must be a really deeply integrated part of the Windows kernel because it has never been able to show progress properly.

Back in the days of floppy disks it always felt that actual copying started when the progress showed 100%.
