@sally Seems that Microsoft ensures that whatever open source (exfat was open sourced) component that Windows can nominally use, has broken support.
Exfat this, its internal zip archiving subroutine produces broken archives that have to be restored with the restore filetree argument, odf support is absymal
I sense a pattern here -

@phnt @fixatedpersonsunit @SuperDicq @hj That would be you using GNU Icecat ('Nother Firefox fork), which, given how much the modern web relies on JavaScript, would be usable up to about 2007 (But no YouTube and multimedia even then) -

@djsumdog @CapitalB @ThatCrazyDude @freegnu @cjd Nope, data in copper traces does not move at the speed of light, since it's a flow of electrons, and those, having mass, cannot achieve speed of light, although it's pretty fast anyway
The point is that there's no real advantage to developing a theoretical optical IC assembly compared to current CMOS assemblies which are pretty good already, since developing performance-comparable optical ICs would take monumental efforts into research and development first, and possibly decades into establishing solid enough manufacturing at a scale to be competitive with regular CMOS ICs, although current CMOS will still have to eventually change to some degree given that it's hitting physical limits.
Those changes will likely come in the form of various nanotechnological components, on top of the various nano-precise lithography, ion bombing, laser etching, that already count as nanotechnology
Not much reason to jump ship into the unknown when there's tried and true solutions around. Besides, we already use optical data transmission into optical fiber transmission, and we used to and still have plenty of optical data supports (Hello, CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays)
It's kinda like gasoline vs diesel. Sure, diesel is on paper better, but the amount of effort it would require switching the entire infrastructure, and then all potential use cases, towards diesel would make it an effort that might be close to a century long -

@phnt @SuperDicq A decade plus, I would say, more like 15 years (systemd project vore apocalypse + GTK3 + polkit shenanigans + GNOME as a whole + RedHat really did a number), but Windooze too has not been getting better either since 7.
And even 7 was full of weird bugs, and just a stop-gap solution as Vista had crashed and burned itself, and nobody cared about wall gardening 8, except for Valve that took its app store very seriously and started creating its own ecosystem to eventually jump ship
Funny how things work. We're in a 15 years long wall gardening attempt that probably should have lasted 3 years max when they were compiling PowerPoints and conceiving it -

@Hyperhidrosis If you wanna do trades, remember to take the high salary figures with a grain of salt: those that make that much are either self-employed, or work into leftover union-protected jobs (The latter were way more common until they started shipping factories overseas)
You can start with those, but do keep in mind you'll have to grind for 2-3 years at least to become skilled enough (Basically, if you started right out of high school, that grind would be your sort of college). After getting out of that entry level pit (Which will probably be little above minimum wage), things can improve, but not by much. You then have to get into a union ASAP (But unions will usually ask for references. You really would need someone to guarantee for your, better if it's a family member). Otherwise, it's self-employment camp
Do be sure they're actually teaching you things, if they treat you like an amazon worker, then they're scamming you. They need to put tools in your hand and slowly teach you what and how to do. And careful with gas exhales and the like. Study a bit recommendations to avoid health risks -

@phnt @kaia I think those Samsung EeePCs were the last classic small format no bullshit windows XP notebook affordable
They were not that underpowered for their time, and even came with early SSDs -

@lanodan I can usually trigger a similar page on google by doing some 4-5 researches in a row and typing very fast (Less than 2 seconds overall). This has been happening since about 2019 (Pretty much when I had to mostly drop google, it was already severely enshittified)
Apparently typing too fast makes you a not nowadays, or having a PC, I guess -

@teto @Morghur @DC5FAN @Jonny @Will2Power @verita84 The deal with the Scots is that they're some of the poorest people in Britain (I'd argue Northumbrians are worse off, though), but their women would probably never date a real Brit because history and such, but things in Scotland are still pretty bad.
So, it was kinda like someone from the mainland landed and you know, that doesn't happen often, but may indeed be better off than your average Scottish male. That was your case. That, and probably you stand out among all those gingers
You may want to retry it. Scottish women are presumed to be fiery, but not in the modern sense. It would probably solve your cardboard personality problem, and looks from your pov would not be a concern since they're very northern looking. It could become your very own personal Thailand if you connect that much -

@matrix As Microsoft makes use of AI tools internally mandatory, be prepared to have something like this snagged into updates -

@poastoak @7666 @RedTechEngineer @Suiseiseki Problem is, margarine was better, same thing as tallow vs vegetable frying oils.
They swapped animal fats with vegetable oils because the latter were cheaper -

@Gran3Walder @Hoss There goes his "Deep Web Browsing" series, in which half the websites he visits are in the clearnet, or were made by his own community to troll him...and nothing of value was probably lost :airismile: -

@hfaust The problem is the guy running duck station later withdrew his statements on his discord, and said he just doesn't want people to package software in ways he doesn't like
I dunno how a guy like that managed to get a CS degree (According to his github) and still act like software isn't something that just gets copied and distributed at all times. Never mind the fact he doesn't do any of the Linux stuff because, as he admits it, he doesn't use Linux, so it's just other maintainers doing compatibility on their own time and dime.
Not to mention his whole change of license gimmick that got him angry because people were doing forks, acting like he's not on github. It's as if he doesn't really know how it works, despite having a CS degree.
It's a problem common to Windows-only developers (Or Mac-only, I guess), really. They fully absorb Microsoft's way of doing things even though they don't gain anything from it, and they just keep going. -

@menherahair @phnt Easy. He didn't realize Raid 0 has no redundancy, hence inadequate as a backup scheme.
If you're a first timer looking to set up a NAS server as a backup, you can easily think Raid 0 is the best option (I mean, it's still Raid, right?).
This probably wouldn't happen if it was called something like "Not-Raid" -

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating Send letters around web communities related to your job (Since you wrote your field has a very limited hiring pool), and explain how bad thing are, to try and ensure none apply to them anymore -

@djsumdog @kabo @MaleGoddess @sun It actually started in early 2007, but most users were still doing it for fun. It wasn't until the recession really kicked in that people started searching for monetization as an income source, especially seeing how randos like Pewdiepie, JonTron and AngryJoe were getting popular and absolutely destroying professional journalism websites in views.
Maybe without the recession things would have gone much slower? I dunno, but doubt it, there were million of early zoomed kids looking for idols already
