Just a nerd who migrated from kbin(dot)social.
Then why should it allow me to save different expressions of the same meaning ever? If it’s going to let me search for it case-insensitive, just head the matter off at the pass and save it that way. Either that, or automatically create link files for every case permutation to the same folder as soon as the file exists.
I did, because they’re different ways of expressing the same meaning. They all mean (apologies for borrowing mathematical notation for linguistic applications) |file|. I don’t care what the expression of a thing is, I care about meaning. And as a result, when I save a file and then search to recall it, it should not matter what case it’s in - only for the meaning to match. The state of my shift or capslock should be totally immaterial.
Ah, one more reason for me to despise NTFS.
Good for him. I hate case-sensitivity, and it’s what keeps me going back to DOS & Windows. FILE, File, file, and FilE should all be the same thing at all times.
God’s final temple on Earth,
Honestly, I think the biggest question with FreeDOS nowadays is whether you want to use FreeDOS or DOSBox-X. That’s been my situation for a while now, and I go back and forth.
Oh geez, I never realized how deep into the rabbit hole I go. But for me FreeDOS & ReactOS are just because… I was there when they were first relevant. I started with FreeDOS because of the DR-DOS scandal. I’ve never really gotten I2P to work. TempleOS is still ambitious. And I actually jumped on here because I got annoyed that I can’t use Lynx, only Links (I’m on Linux Mint).
I only touched Plan 9 From Bell Labs when I was in or around Lucent.
Tails USB should be in my go bag with a machine that has no HDD, XMPP/Jabber - don’t use it anymore because everybody left it for other things.
And yeah… from there up, I have pieces too.
No, but have you ever had a typo?
“The Male doesn’t care about mating, and will find an appropriate provider for the service at the appropriate time. The Male is currently focused on feeding - anything between him and the refrigerator will face his wrath.”
ETA: Typo.
Trust, not exactly. But I do want to see if they can come up with that much printed money, and if cash is delivered, it should be a matter of public record what serial numbers those bills have, and where their recorded uses have been.
Cash upfront. Delivery after full payment.
I like Mint. It looks like Windows, runs the software I want (including a lot of what I use on Windows). To me, the best thing an OS can ever do is stay out of my way. If it has any learning curve between me and doing the things I need and want to do, it’s a bad OS for my needs,
Yeah, that’s one of the things that I disagree about with the world’s most senior space cadet.
Every time I read your longform writing, I feel like your style is best described as Ulysses by way of Gibson. And I love it.
Phoenix BIOS FTW.
I need to go back to IKEA. But I need to make my own too.
That’s fair, yeah. Though I must admit that my expectations of buildings in the Bronx are pretty low, based on friends who’ve lived up there. Even in University Heights, it’s a different world - literally one stop into Manhattan is an improvement.
Then again, some of the nicest buildings in NYC have roach & rat problems. It’s an issue when you have that many people, that much water, that much food, and so many connections. You can’t even properly quarantine a building that’s roach-infested. The little bastards escape into the sewers, the phone lines, the power lines, even sometimes directly into the subway! But, it sounds to me like it’s basically an old building with a lot of bad pipework. I wish them luck finding the right plumbing company for the job. If it’s bad enough, they might find out that the reason for a lack of maintenance is the massive cost involved.
Oh, it’s going to be fun when they have to deal with the City. I can’t wait to see the chaos.
So we’re back to the 80s. Now, can the US market pick itself back up?
Now I want everything science related written in conspiracy voice. Then again, with the current US government, that’s how our leaders read them anyway.
