If you had a Sound Blaster 16, you had an extra IDE port on the board, which DOS couldn’t see and you had to load special drivers to use them. Usually it was used for the CD-ROM.

I wish.

You’re changing the environment to favour your fight. I agree with you, 90% of the times in servers space, Linux works better.

I don’t want to argue with you, because your thoughts are right and you raise valid good points when interacting on social media.

But just to add something, I didn’t say he’s a bad person, I have no clue about that, I did say he’s a bad IT person. In other words, not qualifies for the role, if I can have an opinion on that.

I support the right tool for the right task, I’m not a company cultist, I’m sure Apple is as fucked up as Microsoft, I believe you. But I don’t care.

I have 20 years of experience in Linux. I’m not the average “I’m using Arch btw” Linux user. I managed several services at work with Linux and have a homelab at home.

If I wasn’t a PC gamer, Windows was gone from my house. That’s how I prefer Linux.

Having said that, your statement is objectively wrong.

No offence but you’re a bad it person if you really think like that.

I love to suggest Apple products to my relatives, because they’re too dumb and I don’t have to give technical support, lol.

I get the joke, but lots of people, me included, start to understand why people pay so much for a Mac. It’s not the hardware, it’s not having to deal with Windows.

Time 2 years top, there will be an AI that converts perfectly COBOL into JavaScript.

Damn, should I load the mouse driver or the CD-ROM driver? If I load both, I can’t run strike commander!

With dos 5.x I started creating some fancy auroexec menu at boot that switches between several configurations depending if I wanted to run windows, need a lot of xms or a big chunk of Ems (640k was NOT enough for everything).

It was somehow fun.

But at least, if something is not working, it was entirely your fault. Now? It’s probably windows update who fucked up something you desperately need right now.

Georgia has Paris, Athen and Rome.

That’s fair, but then stop using the “federation is like email” propaganda.

Brilliant, all the propaganda about “join us, the fediverse is like email” gone to shit. More like “it’s like email, but if you email ends with @hotmail.com we will block your messages”.

I agree with the sentiment, not with these actions, instead of giving meta users a way to break free, we built a wall between us and them, who have way more content, because we’re afraid of Zuck stealing our data, which is public and he already done.

That’s absolutely in your right to do so.

Would you mind if I ask you what did I say that’s considered an asshole move?

Is there a way to technically deliver an unbroken user experience to a thread user without privacy issues?

A failed messaging system that nobody in the world uses except for the Americans?

How sweet.

I do!

The rest of us saw the commercial blind, naturally interpreted the relationship as romantic

But… the first single word the actress said was “SISTER!” while pointing at herself…

I watched the ad, never seen before… Am I blind for not seeing the mentioned sexual tension here?

Looks like a common american style ad to me.
