I'll say it once, I'll say it forever: Windows has better backward compatibility, period. Even compared to linux. Rebuilding an old open source linux app to work on a modern distro can be done, but it's a process that could take hours or days. And if you don't have the source code you're shit out of luck. Have fun getting that binary built against a 1 year old version of glibc to work. This, incidentally is what things like flatpak, docker and ubuntu's nonsense competitor to both (of which our hatred is entirely rational no really stop laughing) are trying to solve.

Meanwhile microsoft office still handles leap years wrong because it might break backwards compatibility with old documents. Binaries built for windows xp will usually just work on windows 11. Packages built for ubuntu 22.0 often won't run on ubuntu 23.0. You never notice this because linux are a culture of recompilers. Rebuilding every last package once a month is just how some distros roll. But that's not backwards compatibility, that's ongoing maintenance.

I hope they win. I want that president on the books.

You can actually be both. The internet is maintained mainly by catgirls afterall

Glad to see it's popularity is waning. Snap is the inferior universal package by many metrics and the steam snap in particular is very not ready for prime time.

Together, we CAN traumatize innocent sexists who did nothing to deserve it. WHO'S WITH ME?

well at least they aren't trying to make me install snaps, and patching apt so if I sudo apt install firefox it installs the snap version.

libaom is a fucking joke. SVT might be a memory hog, but as the proud owner of a system with enough memory to run it, I can proudly say my 1 minute video rendered in less than ten minutes and somehow had worse compression than x264

Wait, whot?

I'm pretty sure the mermaid just wants her in the water so she can eat her

Even if you're using debian 12 bookworm and are fully up to date, you're still running [5.4.1].

The only debian version actually shipping the vulnerable version of the package was sid, and being a canary for this kind of thing is what sid is for, which it's users know perfectly well.

Glad ubuntu defaults to nano. One of the few decent choices that distro ever made

You run a pedophile ring sir. Get your priorities in order.

Sunglasses both protect you from the light (natural and otherwise) and hide the fact you're not making eye contact (to an extent)
