MacOS: Am I a joke to you?

MacOS (X) used to be the absolute best operating system around but ever since Apple became a phone company and Macs are merely an afterthought, macOS is indeed mostly a joke, not because the technological foundation is bad (actually that is quite good) but because of Apple’s dumb commercial decisions: The absolutely dumbest thing is Metal (their non-standard take on DirectX), deprecating OpenGL, and not adopting Vulkan.

WSL is the best thing that’s ever happened to windows

WSL is great but the NT kernel was/is more important, then userspace GPU drivers (which Linux still lacks), then WSL.

People now in their 20s don’t realize how utterly bad Win9x and then the first consumer grade NT-based WinXP were (and those older may have forgotten). Win7, 10, and 11 are paradise by comparison. These days I can cope with Windows. I don’t love it but it’s not a daily cause of anger like the Windows dark ages. Heck, winget even makes software installation bearable.

Of course it does not make sense.

In pretty much every international sporting competition, the referees are from countries other than the competing teams/athletes. Football, boxing, you name it. It’s part of rules to maintain impartiality and fairness in the matches. Englishman Johnny Herbert being part of the stewarding team to judge over English teams and athletes would be a scandal in every other sport’s world championship. This weekend a German ADAC higher-up was also part of the stewarding team. I have no idea about his impartiality regarding Mercedes or Nico Hülkenberg and there shouldn’t be any questions regarding impartiality based on nationality. That’s precisely why others sports have such rules.

When a driver speeds in the pit lane during practice they only get a fin

Maybe bring up that example when Norris runs a red light in free practice, not during the race session.

Lmao you cannot be seriously defending AD2021 and pretending you aren’t enormously biased, Mr Dutch-Username

I’m not Dutch, nor do I have a Dutch user name. Can’t even get your xenophobia right. OTOH your affiliation:

Ah, I forgot that safety regs only apply to P1 and P2. Silly me. I must have missed that FIA regulation. Can you point it out to me so I can read up on it?

Yes, follow up Tweet quoting the stewards’ decision:

Maybe should have clicked on the linked source instead of making stuff up. The answer was right there a mere 40 minutes after the first Tweet.

Also several racing directives are secret under NDA. The FIA knows them, select individuals from the teams know them, journalists and therefore the public don’t know them. the-race.com could recently only quote a few sentences in a follow-up podcast to the recent discussions about overtaking rules because those were leaked to them.

Nothing screams “Workstation” louder than Reddit Mobile.

It is ridiculous that many companies are still providing security patches every 3 months for maximum 2-3 years.

The expected change is about how long the actual updating process takes, not for how long updates will be provided. The article is not that long. You could have read it.

They got good after Yuke’s was fired by 2K while AEW Fight Forever was still bad. Turned out, the problem was Yuke’s all along.

For decades scales worked just fine without any electricity. Maybe get one of those.

Stewarding has been awful this weekend.

Johnny Herbert was a steward again, so that was kind of expected.

Someone with that same passport got a championship taken from them by the race director

Do you mean the race when that English person could earlier cut a corner, overtake off the track, gain a massive advantage, and then later had to only lift off the throttle a bit which was then “the advantage was given back”?

Tsunoda and Lawson also aren’t British but did the exact same thing.

No, they didn’t because the weren’t in the front row.

Checo got a sporting advantage. Norris didnt

What about “judge the infraction, not the outcome” that gets repeatedly quoted when somebody was suffering a big crash but the guilty driver gets only 5 secs or so? Starting infraction is starting infraction.

Check out that last link I posted there

I wasn’t disagreeing with you, I was making an (hopefully) entertaining comment.

But that stinks of communism, doesn’t it… 😄

Sprinkle a bit of communism on that capitalism.

The main failing here in the US though is that rail maintenance falls to rail companies that have little financial incentives to spend the money on safety. That may be changing, however if the federal government just hands over money with inadequate oversight it will just enrich the companies.

Sounds almost as if critical infrastructure should be owned by the public.

Gog.com is always worth a look.

Gog is well indexed by Google. If it’s on Gog, a simple web search would have listed that result. “I barely managed to find it at all” means that it was more work than just googling it and clicking on the Gog result.

Unfortunately, our guidelines reserve two-letter TLDs for use by countries only.

Soon:

Fortunately, guidelines are not laws and we’ve got loads of money from Elon Musk who’ll now control that TLD.

Apple probably paid for it

since you think she should get nothing from both spotify and onlyfans

I don’t know where you got that “both” from.

Regular people don’t get royalties for their work either. Factory workers who assemble ovens don’t get a cut from each meal a restaurant cooks, for example. Those filthy rich musicians, Hollywood actors, etc. keep leaving out that they’ve already been paid millions for their work. They leave out that they sold the publishing rights to record companies. They act as if they earned less than you and me. They are doing absolutely fine. No need to fight for a right to better royalties or anything like that. If they need more money, they can just make new music.
