ok, i'm pretty sure it doesn't count because technically you announced you lost the game just now.

i didn't even remember slashdot existed until just now, though, and i looked and it still uses the same goddamn stylesheet it's had since like 2002, lol.

i actually think windows 8 / 10 are the best looking desktop os, it's just that they suck to use.

but my ipad pro is the first OS that's genuinely pleasurable to use.

i have to use linux as my daily driver and at this point the constant weird driver issues are more annoying than the usability of the myriad DE's. i'm seriously considering giving the windows linux thing a try, maybe it would be better than linux / gnome ? i dont think a serious computer user has ever tried using windows as a serious development environment, so i dont think anyone really knows.

i hate my life and myself

we use windows as a serious dev environment, but we're an extreme outlier because even though the best versions of cache run on linux, the best dev tools for it are windows. the dev environment on linux is a barebones cli editor that only works with vt-400 keymapping.

I hear this a lot but what is actually wrong with it

its structure is just from a different era and nowadays it's very restrictive in what it offers and you're probably going to make more mistakes with it. vb.net is going to give you access to like 90% of what c# does since they share a runtime and have access to the same stdlib, but vb is just a bigger pain to write so why would you.

also i think like 95% of vb developers are like me and know it from maintaining 20 year old legacy horrorshow vb6 codebases and just want to escape the suffering.

they mean "virtualbox" not visual basic. it should be obvious to all who post here why vb the language is terrible.

in any case, i think it was suspicious dish who said something about virtualbox piping graphics over a virtualized serial i/o as opposed to using something sane like LLVM, so anything graphical ran like dogshit, on top of replacing libgl.c with a worse version. however, i think this has changed in recent times. it is usually suggested to those who don't want to deal with kvm/qmeu, or don't have the liscenes for vmware. if it works for you then cool, whatever

oh lol, i just keyed offa shaggar.

virutalbox is not that bad anymore, but one thing i did find is that it sucks really bad at keeping its virtual disk images compact compared to vmware.

I like the ones who install a gui, but refuse to plug in a mouse because they are "more efficient just using keyboard shortcuts"

One time doing a go live for epic I watched a um manager enter a referral about 10x faster than I'd ever managed using only the keyboard and it blew my mind. If the work flow is designed with it in mind a key board can definitely be more efficient, but programming ain't one of those work flows.

i don't think anyone should do everything by cli, but many (most?) computer toucher things are done about 3 billion times faster by cli, and cli commands are easily automated. there's an extremely good reason why powershell exists, and no matter how much i hate it because the commands are all too loving long and the auto-complete can be dumb as gently caress at times, it's still vastly better than "open contorl panel, click thing x43, press this, click ok x43"

i have a gui on my work laptop for a normal browsing experience and so i can have multiple terminal windows up at the same time effortlessly (screen/tmux can't compare to a decent window management and desktop environment like kde).

also, ansible is the better config mgmt system because redhat supplies a library of things like https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible which makes my job 99% easier since most community supplied config management poo poo is "task 0: disable selinux" so i'd have to do everything myself anyway.

also, i've written shell scripts longer than ~10 lines, but when it's just preparing a working environment or linking files and running commands linearly idc. if you have control flow in your shell script, you've done hosed up tho. incidentally, i have a legacy git server at work which is 100% loving shell scripts and breaks at the tiniest of breezes that i hope to replace by year's end.

I've never used screen to replace windowing, but I have used screen a bunch of times to house long running jobs on servers that have a habit of kicking my ssh session thus cutting me off from the stdout of the job.

probably people who were running aix for a reason in the past and are still enjoying the coasting with the very long term support contract they have. sure they would be at least as happy on rhel, but the main priority being keeping things running without effort invested means it makes no sense to invest effort to get onto another platform that offers the same

i really suspect that there is a lot of business opportunity even now in just offering incredibly long-term support contracts. just freeze a dist and a piece of hardware, promise to support both for 100 years, with the rather irrelevant caveat that you promise to if necessary build a vm to simulate the hardware (to at least an equivalent speed of the original) and just update the software to deal with security issues. sort of the mainframe model except realizing that the supposed technology advantages are largely nonsense, the guarantees are what you're selling

pram posted:

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

sony is conspicuously absent from the freebsd foundation funding list. a list that seems to shrink a bit every year. they have a few big donors, but you can count them on one hand.

if anything, pointing at the ps4 is an argument against using the bsd license for large software projects, because there is nothing stopping a multi-billion dollar company from going "yeah, thanks for doing 95% of the work for us for free so we can build a closed platform. maybe we'll throw some trivial patches back upstream if we have time, but don't expect much. so long suckers"

iirc, openbsd was so broke a few years ago they were begging for money just to keep the lights on.
