You're absolutely right. We're still young, though, so yeah, don't completely discourage FOSS etc I have high hopes. And I would be glad for Mac's Apple's successes, I just am sure that FOSS etc will catch "up&

As far as I've picked up, yes, but, not that matters in the direct software industries. Tim's got tons of connections though so I doubt he will starve. Tom Waits while Tim Brays. Check out your email signature Tim Bray. Good luck

Words run short some times. I know the history though, didn't mean to pin it as a conspiracy, but in desparate times, which I do not keep track of, things can happen, since I follow histories. Don't take this as a rebuke, is that

I'm really sorry, dang, I didn't intend to do that/it. Good that you're noticing and monitoring, it was not my intents.

We are stepping on each others toes; the initial OP or Grand-poster or whatever was about installing Ubuntu on a Mac, and that was the context I was replying into. So whatever. The OSX thing is great, for whoever it fits to, it is surely be

It means 'run commands,' I googled it for you. Just google for "rc unix meaning", as I did. Have to acknowledge I didn't know it either. But now we all know. Good question. Edit: more info here, https://e

You'll get more "SCSI" when you buy macs, if you're a poser, at least, or a signaller, is probably more polite. 'You' is general of course, but, I think this is how it works. You'll be rolling in the SCSI

Totally agree, just have to report back that it's no huge'er job in terms of systems management. But am on your page. I guess it's relative, I was Ubuntu, too, because I liked the next-next-next ideology, but, when it comes t

PPA is hell. Arch is love and life.

Happy Arch and AUR user chiming in, a custody, or emigrant, from the F snap hell Ubuntu caused, and it's easy to verify and vet AUR content, if you care enough, the scripts are legible, readable, so it's just a matter of caring ab

Djeeah, guess we're fucking back-lashing, or backlash, as the title is and goes: enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOG1p2DbDCI thanks corncob most valued person enjoy

Backlash? Is that the title? Internal view, tons of cones, etc, pretty good gfx, fucking cannon shots out of your mouth/view. Backlash? The corncob person gave me memories. Loved backlash, it was fantastically graphic for its time.

by readwind 6y ago
Corncob was the shit. What was that other Amiga game? With the cones, and everything, it looked like corncob, but it was something else. I bet someone knows. Good times anyways.

It's most likely that I am totally wrong, they just told me it was some "Latvian" branch, Lituanian, so I don't know. I might be confused overall but it's good someone knows. Thank you.

Yeah I was just being an asshole. Didn't really mean to thrash on ISS or anything. Just being dumb.

Yeah I was probably just ignorant using dpkg, didn't know better. Thanks for the info.

I'll enlighten you. About twenty years ago people used IIS for web-servers, encumbered in costly licenses, for everything, and progress goes on. That's the point man. Time goes on, and things gets better. Hope you see now. That wa

And it will take care of all dependencies? What if the repo packages are version < 2.4 or something, I have ran into that a tons of times. Yeah rather the AUR than the ppas to be frankly these days. I love Ubuntu though, as a general ide

More people are getting the Limp Larynx feeling such as you do. I had the same thought, especially after snap, and all. So I agree.

Excel is a nice flight-simulator, it's just too bad it doesn't wear a miniskirt. Edit: here's the procedures to activate a flight sim in excel 97 as I understand https://kb.iu.edu/d/agqw You can fly arou

You always have the ppa's, one reason, except snap, itself, that I moved. Let's hope it picks up and improves. Right.

by readwind 6y ago
I agree with almost everything you say, and, yes, people used IIS, windows, as webservers, only not-long ago, so, let's hope for progress. Totally agreed.

huh how well does that work with individual downloaded *.deb packages? You're probably right, but, the included repos are usually full of outdated versions, if you get a too-new deb, from some experimental site, in terms of Ubuntu fres

That's f'd up. Some people say the default settings for sandboxing [in respects of basic snap defaults or setups] etc are basically disabled some places. Hope that works. Bet the skin looks great. Most snaps I used long ago looked

The problem is, from a user perspective, when simple things as the included calculator is a snap package. I am biased and it's been a long time since I used Ubuntu or snap, but, you shouldn't need to be a hostage to sloppy snap-ea

One can dpkg -i , but, how about dependencies? I always had a problem with that. Whenever the app-store didn't work, which usually pulled-in all deps, I just naively used dpkg -i pkg.deb, and chased all the deps manually, through googl

Yeah excel, outlook, etc, and their db-app, access, word, and photoshop, adobe, etc, will be tough beasts to either man handle or convince, I guess. Looking forward to handle being a terminal app to install all of those things. Throw us som
