MacOS is a perfect OS to emulate Windows and Linux: because Cmd+C is copy and Cmd+Tab is switch Windows, there is no danger in using Ctrl+C and Alt-Tab inside the emulator. Conveniently, Cmd+Tab brings me out of the emulator.

Verdict: we need more META buttons on our keyboards.

I was trying to find a folder of files I needed to copy onto a USB drive for a friend. I thought I might have left it in my Downloads folder, so I checked:

I've recently downloaded:
* Visual Studio Code
* Ghidra
* Sublime Text
* Open Watcom IDE
* Arduino IDE

and didn't spot my friend's folder for a moment, because her name is /Eclipse/.

HAAAhahaha

"2025 is the year of desktop Linux" no longer most ridiculous OS-related claim about upcoming year, thanks to Microsoft

We are not "late," we are simply building hype for our eventual arrival.

Fun fact a previous employer used a country's TLD as their internal domain (???) and that basically made me who I am today on the Windows networking stack

@SwiftOnSecurity I once had to deal with a customer that was running their internal network on a class A that wasn't being used. Somehow it worked for them until they tried to get some Windows machines in.
The Windows machines didn't communicate with anything on their network.
"So what unused Class A did you install your network on? 10.*?"
"No, 127.*."
...
"And that's been working for you?"
"Right up until we tried to use Windows. Windows is a piece of shit, can't do simple ordinary networking."
"No, Windows right here is obeying all the RFCs. Your Suns are sending out traffic they should be keeping internal. You need to renumber your entire network."

I hope this email finds you well and in good health and spirit.

@NanoRaptor Gander reveal parties. Why is that cake honking?

Adult gender reveals should be a thing and we pick our own colours and everything.

*purple floods everywhere while the THX deep note sounds, then blends into nyancat played by sirenhead. glitter stars swirl on a wind scented of vanilla panna cotta*

reading through code for one of my projects to fix a small bug and came across this and actually cackled:

LOL, FALSE ALARM!!!

Apparently when the wiki said "If you notice that some packages are not upgraded you should also try apt full-upgrade, but beware" what they really meant is "you dipshit, obviously run apt full-upgrade instead of upgrade or your install will just break completely". I now have a functioning Debian Stable
