Popsicle = should take a seat over there
One-eyed monster = a fan of Austin Powers

That is incredibly ironic.

It relies on the .NET runtime already existing on the system, so it can’t even be excused as a false positive mistaking an embedded language runtime as malware.

Either way, somebody pays Apple $10} a year. After paying them the equivalent of a kidney for the hardware. No thanks.

It’s not. They both expose a POSIX API and userspace, but the underlying architecture is very different. macOS is in part based on the Mach microkernel, and creating a process has a bunch of work related to that.

Even ignoring that difference, macOS has built-in signature checking that suspends a newly-started process the first time its executable is seen.

What language was it written in? I read that Microsoft Defender likes to flag the baked-in runtime of some languages as malware because they commonly shows up in actual nalware.

Whataboutism

Good luck convincing tankies with that definition. They will just claim the definition doesn’t count because “the UN is a Western imperialist facade pushing US propaganda.” The same goes for any source that doesn’t agree with their ideals, for that matter.

Anyone following the thread can see that the “accusation” being referred to is China being imperialist.

Thanks for the correction!

Those aren’t even real keys. Pressing it sends a hardcoded hotkey combination of some modifier keys and F12 and then immediately releases them. Not only is the key worthless, you can’t even revert it back to being usable as right control.

Hey now, someone doesn’t need to be an abusive piece of shit to get a gummy. They could just really be into grandma.

I have tried it multiple times over the years and I did not have great luck with things “just working” as everyone claims.

This is why I don’t like recommending LTS distros for anything other than servers. The Linux kernel and desktop software moves fast these days, and running 2 year old kernel and DE means missing out on the fixes and improvements that the “it just works” people are talking about.

Oh god, no. Are you trying to drive people away from using Linux?

Most people with that little money aren’t going to go out of their way and assume the risk of investing in new ventures. They’re going to put it in some managed or unmanaged fund recommended by someone else, and that money is going to be invested in something safe and presumably profitable on an infinite time scale, like a megacorp (or 500).

It would amazing if the everyday worker’s savings went towards aiding the local community in starting new businesses, but I wouldn’t count on that being the default.

Which is uncannily large for the wrist it’s attached to.

They put out an engine that offers unoptimized shortcuts for traditional development techniques, replacing LODs with Nanite and introducing Lumen as a low-effort way to produce “realistic” lighting.

Both of those fall short of acceptable performance and visual stability quality during real-time rendering, but who cares about that when they make development faster and do a good enough job for prerendered trailers? /s

Filled by morons and Russian bots?

“Conservatism has exactly one proposition, to wit: there is an in-group group in which the law protects but does not bind, and there is an out-group in which the law binds but does not protect.”

I’m sure I didn’t quote that properly, but you get the point.

When viewing reality through the lens of life being zero-sum, if one is not policing others, they are being policed. Add xenophobia and fear of others who are noncomforming and you end up with someone who feels the need to judge everyone around them.

With a bootloader signed using Microsoft keys, or a bootloader that needs a MOK to be set up to install third-party keys in the Secure Boot database?

I did the latter and it was a pretty annoying process that would scare away beginners—hence me saying a “workaround” was possible. I’m not using a common distro like Fedora or Ubuntu, though. Is setting it up less painful on those?
