Windows was never the safe option, it was the anticompetative option that took away the safe options!! Windows has always been quite genuinely the least secure, least stable, least maintainable option.

That’s dumb.

This is probably a problem with how the question is being asked, but…

A .py file is not an application. It might be a component of an application but there is no general way to “install” a .py file. If you are coming from microsoft, you can think of a .py file as similar to a .bat file, but it might also be more like a .dll file.

If the .py file contains a script meant to be run like a .bat file, you can to run it from wherever you saved it using the Python interpreter. That is what is occurring in this example from your page:

python3 rectarg.py R230122W.cht R230122W.txt output.tif --target_dpi 300 --background GS10 --label_axis_visible X=B

The user is using the python3 command to run the rectarg.py script from the current directory, and passing it arguments with the rest of the commandline. This doesn’t require installing rectarg.py, just knowing the path (or in this case, being in that path).

There’s no way this is a real English idiom. I think the headline was supposed to be “beating the world” but it’s not OP’s mistake, the original headline is “biting”!

I only just now found out the olympics were in Italy

Apologies to Watterson? That’s a funny way to say, “fuck you, I’ll do whatever I want with your shit and not feel bad about it!”

If it happens to be exactly what you want, then you’re golden. If not, you have a fight on your hands.

I got to take this baby from 999 to 1K

nice

explicitly passing the self variable doesn’t make it not OOP.

now show the pointer hell that would be polymorphism in C. my brain segfaulted just thinking about it.

high cpu usage isn’t going to make your system unusable. it’s probably consuming all your wired ram and thrashing your swap.

okay but it’s also a normal thing for the CPC to monitor and influence online spaces and it’s certainly not restricted to lemmy

just stop it it’s not cool its not funny its not impressing everyone and you’re just going to feel badly about it later so stop it now before it gets worse just fucking stop it

A mere three months ago, you could still post this comment and not be laughed at. Like boots and hearts, when things start to fall apart, they really fall apart.

it was proposed less as a hypothesis about reality than as virtue signalling (in the original sense)

Oh geeze, it’s that rubber band refrigerator that (I think) Tech Connections demoed?

The lines you draw are so arbitrary but at least you’re prepared to die on those hills.

Prey tell, what is this OS of yours that is not coercive and doesn’t contain bloat, yet has a full GUI as part of the operating system?

because any methods that are harder and which DON’T have a superior result would not become culturally known
