I wouldn't be surprised if all shells have some form of that, but not enabled by default. I know Bash does, but I've never turned it on.

In situations like this, the answer isn't to argue over the interpretation of the words: it's to fix the words.

If the writers intended "no excessive capitalization or excessive grammatical errors", then it should be changed to that.

If the writers intended "no excessive capitalization and no grammatical errors", then it should be changed to that.

Both situations remove the ambiguity and prevent pedantic internet arguments about language interpretation.

If the adverts are completely optional, this is the best way to do it. "Here, if you watch this ad we'll give you free shit!" is way more likely to get me to watch whatever it is, but "You will watch this ad or you won't get to play anymore" is the fastest way to get me to uninstall.

Pfff, all these amateurs here using Vim. Y'all should use Emacs. You still have all of these problems, but you get to act all superior about it. /s (except for the superiority complex; that's real)

Weird, I found the Arch-based one once but now I can't find it. Everything keeps pointing me back to that page...

EDIT: All I can find now is HoloISO - which seems to be in a reasonable place, I guess.

I've been wondering for a little while now if WinApps will work for gaming. It uses a VM in the background but, supposedly, has a "native" experience. Thoughts?

~~You can also install SteamOS which is literally what the Steam Deck runs.~~

EDIT: Disregard, I can't read.

My understanding is that running most of BlueSky is possible on small to moderate hardware. However, running all of BlueSky requires basically cloning 100% of all the content on BlueSky (which, as of Nov 2024, was ~5 TB).

So, like, yes, one can run part of BlueSky or a clone of BlueSky which has none of the main instance's user's content without much trouble, but actually running an entire BlueSky stack is eventually going to become cost prohibitive.

I found this write-up to be enlightening on the subject.

Ah, yes, let's make the already illegal thing even more illegal. As if that ever stopped anyone...

We don't do that here

Unless you live in California, they kinda do.

I use uMatrix (uBlock's big brother), so sites that do this generally lose first-party JS privileges real fast.

NASA gives SpaceX fat government paychecks. He doesn't want anything to happen to them.
