Or you can use PowerShell - Available on MacOS, Windows, Linux instead of suffering through incoherent syntax of Bash.
TheLoafOfBread··on Silicon Valley's tech titans line up to donate to Donald Trump
That would be just repeat on Munich 1938. Putin won't stop, just consolidate and push further to the West. Moldova next. Then Baltic states. Then Poland. Does it sound insane? Well Ukraine-Russian war sound insane in the fall of 2021 when intelligence agencies were sending warnings what is about to happen.

Paradox of tolerance it seems.
TheLoafOfBread··on Solving the Worst Problem in Programming Education: Windows
I will find MacOS acceptable when Finder will start treating Enter as Enter and not as rename. And the worst thing is that you can't even change this behavior.

TheLoafOfBread··on Apple Vision Pro U.S. Sales Are All but Dead, Market Analysts Say
> ship a bug that allows OS jailbreak to run VMs

That's why I am always surprised when somebody calls it a devkit. It is just a coping mechanism for a failed product.

Furthermore if Apple wants to turn it into such devkits, why do such weird and unnecessary mating rituals? Just let anyone who has active developer license on Apple ID to modify Vision OS and see what they are going to come up with. Apple will then add it into Vision OS and ban people who come up with the solution at a first place. As it is done in AppStore today.

TheLoafOfBread··on The Linux desktop is self-destructive
90%+ people will fail to edit a config if they are forced to use nano or vi.
TheLoafOfBread··on The Linux desktop is self-destructive
No need, nor expectation to open a Terminal/Cmd/Powershell and start writing cryptic commands. Most are go here and set this slider on/off. More advanced are open regedit and write this variable on this path to 0 and restart. Or Open group policy editor and set this setting on this path to Disabled.

TheLoafOfBread··on What is the next step after spyware called Windows 11?
I wish Finder would have Enter working as Enter and not as Rename.
TheLoafOfBread··on What is the next step after spyware called Windows 11?
That normal user will not type anything into Terminal.
TheLoafOfBread··on What is the next step after spyware called Windows 11?
On one hand Windows 11 is bad spyware on the other hand, Linux is still useless. I am usually in awe when solving even basic issues like how much RAM and HDD is free starts with write this command into Terminal. 30 years of development ladies and gentlemen...
TheLoafOfBread··on Destroying Russian Tanks Is Just the Start for U.S. AI Drone Autopilot
Or we can have bomb loaded FPV coming out of nowhere and ramming into politician while being guided by face recognition software so all that EW stuff is useless.
TheLoafOfBread··on The great silence: Just 4 in 10k galaxies may host intelligent aliens
Try to demodulate QAM64 without knowing what it is. It will look just like little bit elevated noise. Now imagine that aliens will be using as effective as possible modulation. There is close to zero chance to figure out what is being transferred.

Furthermore it also makes no sense to just scream in all directions so you will use highly directed microwave beam or laser. If you are not in the path of such communication, you will hear silence.

TheLoafOfBread··on The great silence: Just 4 in 10k galaxies may host intelligent aliens
That means lot of space for Human race to expand in.
TheLoafOfBread··on Low salary likely to cause exodus of European tech talent

They don't until they compete with some big US company which has direct contacts into government. Then it suddenly matter.
TheLoafOfBread··on Rich People Are Freezing Themselves to Stay Wealthy Forever
Ah yes many such cases from history of human race, when monarch want to govern, but impatient son is willing to coup whole establishment, just to govern himself. In best case, parent will just get blinded Byzantian style.
TheLoafOfBread··on Europe's new heavy-lift rocket, Ariane 6, made its inaugural flight
It is completely irrelevant how much Falcon 9 cost if political leadership of USA is unreliable and unstable. Flacon 9 could be flying for free, but if you could lose access to it any time, it is like it does not exist.
TheLoafOfBread··on Europe's new heavy-lift rocket, Ariane 6, made its inaugural flight
> Would European companies use this European independent launch capability if it was costly and obsolete?

If USA will go hermit mode like at the end of 19th century, then they will have no other choice. And we certainly have signs of US wanting to go into isolation.

TheLoafOfBread··on Europe's new heavy-lift rocket, Ariane 6, made its inaugural flight
Arianne 6 is not about competition, but about strategic independence at the first place.

> And by then, SpaceX will be 10 years ahead of them with a next-gen platform.

Or going bust if Starship will turn out to be a flop.

TheLoafOfBread··on Europe's new heavy-lift rocket, Ariane 6, made its inaugural flight
Well question is why would EU want mass production of rockets and for what purpose?
TheLoafOfBread··on Europe's new heavy-lift rocket, Ariane 6, made its inaugural flight
So EU having Arianne 6 is actually a good thing.

TheLoafOfBread··on Dark mode is not as good for your eyes as you believe
Or you could just use a table lamp, or any other background lighting. Instead of that you will be complaining about pain in your eyes, band aiding it with dark mode and go blind before 40 years old.
TheLoafOfBread··on Dark mode is not as good for your eyes as you believe
