I’d be surprised if it’s directly linked

C# is also here

I didn’t say it was good, but it is easy to use compared to a terminal. It won’t help you find your file, but it’s somewhat intuitive to a novice user - you click around and open folders until you find something that looks like what you’re after. It’s not efficient, it’s downright tedious, but it’s at least easy to do.

It’s all about the barrier to entry to novice users. Most users are novices, they’re the majority of the market so they’ll decide what the market leader is.

There’s weirdly a lot of fractures within the LGBTQ+ community, there’s a joke that the letters are “in order of preference” and quite a lot of the gay community doesn’t recognise trans people, or thinks Bi folks are just gay but won’t admit it and things like that.

An ex of mine was bi and I got exposed to a lot of this shit because of the amount of shit she got from some of her lesbian friends over dating a man. It really shocked me because it’s completely against your own interests to become the very thing that’s opressed you and your kin, yet here we are - gay republicans.

No, neither is easy to use. The second you have to use a terminal or command line you have completely lost the vast majority of people.

I don’t think any of the UX problems you’re describing have been solved on any platform. If anything Windows is one of the better examples here, because I’ll be fucked if I can ever find a file on Android and don’t get me started with Linux.

Prepare to get inundated with ads for anime girls and other weeb shit.

EDIT: To clarify, I mean “weeb” as a term of endearment rather than the pejorative.

Msn was the best, I’ll never forgive Microsoft for killing it in favour of Skype.

The problem that I see is that all of these alternatives still rely on YouTube at the end of the day.

And the cost of setting up a new video hosting site that’s free to consume content from is ridiculous.

There’s definitely still plenty of utility here. Most technical people agree that they’re generally just very good at googling things but what if you don’t know what to search for? An AI can take your poorly worded question, make some kind of sense of it and spit something out.

Whereas anyone who knows how and what to Google will probably find the right answer faster. So it at least levels the playing field a bit.

Maybe.

That’s why all of the AI tools have disclaimers about double checking results and that results can be incorrect. That’s the liability waiver.

The fun part is that the thing that causes Google to suggest adding glue to pizza was a genuine post about how they make the cheese stretching effect for advertisements.

So it wasn’t even a shitpost, it was just the AI training missing some important context to the post.

It’s entirely possible that 24,000 VM’s didn’t count as “large” by VMWare standards.

Statistically, the best properties to have are the ones just after jail. Everyone who passes go still has to pass them, while those who get sent to jail also have I pass them. The organge properties are the best, because the average dice roll is 7 and from jail that lands you right on them.

I’m old enough to remember the SVN days (he’ll, even the CVS and…dare I say it… source safe days).

Git is fantastic. It’s pretty universally uses because it’s the best dvcs out there and it’s free. It wipes the pants with the likes of mercurial.

In certain industries (such as gaming) there’s still a strong hold by perforce but we can ignore that as it’s proprietary and a bit specialised.

Anyway, as great as git is for making things easier and cleaner when dealing with distributed development, it by no means makes something impossible “possible” - it just makes it a hell of a lot easier.

The Linux kernel on the other hand enabled a lot of impossible things. Remember back in the day there wasn’t anything free and open source in the operating system world, it was all proprietary and licensed. If you wanted to create your own operating system, you basically had no option but to spend a fortune either writing your own kernel or licensing someone else’s (and the licensing part means you cannot distribute it for free).

The fact that the FSF has always wanted to write their own OS and never been able to achieve it without the Linux Kernel, in spite of them essentially writing “everything else” that makes up an operating system, shows just how nontrivial this is.

It didn’t require using arcane commands just to sign up and log in. I love IRC and will always remember it fondly, but it wasn’t easy for a novice to use and that’s why things like slack and discord took off.

Actually no, I think it’s a well enough known thing though. But for sure he was a right cunt.

And to top it all off, it didn’t help his body odour at all. He stank.

A former employer actually did send lawyers after me for a bad Glassdoor review. The dumb thing is that it wasn’t even my review.

This is beyond stupid.

I appreciate what this project is doing. I’ve already got my setup configured using the trash guides, with recyclarr pulling in the latest config data for it. Is there a benefit to switching to Dictionarry, anyone know?
