As for it feeling quicker due to it being a fresh install, don’t really expect it to slow down. Windows always slows down over time because its Registry is clogged, the code gets more bloated over time with updates, and the filesystem is kind of trash.

Linux generally stays quite nimble and quick in the long-term. It’s why you can take a decade old computer and still accomplish quite a bit on it with Linux.

This sounds like macOS (in a good way).

What does that mean?

Look I love GPL to death but I’m not going to pretend that every OS vendor on the planet needs to give away everything for free.

You can like two things at once, and in my case I love my walled garden, commercial OS for end-user stuff as well as Linux for networking gear and servers. I used desktop Linux for awhile but at the end of the day I like things like Airdrop, AirPlay and the seamlessness of it all.

Honestly, I like BSD operating systems more so than Linux ones despite the licensing arrangements. Linux is open as hell (obviously) but it’s super disorganized. I haven’t found a package manager I like as much as pkg (especially installing binary packages and compiled from source packages side by side with shared libraries).

Looking forward to being downvoted to hell for having a differing view of Linux than all the recent Windows converts.

I’m mostly used to it now. Though -r is supported in macOS’ rm command I still prefer -R and use it even on Linux where I believe -r is the preferred argument.

Actually that’s a good point that I’ve completely forgotten. Docker uses the modern macOS APIs for virtualization these days, and uses Rosetta2 for amd64 containers.

Edit: Damn you’ve got me excited about FreeBSD again. I’m a much bigger fan of FreeBSD on bare metal but do love Docker and related Linux goodness!

It is now, but it was bash before.

But in any case once you start doing anything remotely advanced you’ll find the individual command line utilities are wildly different between macOS and Linux. They seem (are?) much closer to FreeBSD than GNU utilities.

That’s interesting. I haven’t really used Windows since the XP days so I didn’t realize there was already some VM stuff going on to begin with.

I always wonder how Docker works on macOS with a more UNIX-style kernel than Linux when even FreeBSD gave up on the effort.

I understand macOS is way closer to Linux than Windows (despite its differences) but is it really that hard to do Docker/OCI out of Linux?

Why did they give up on the wine-like approach? That seems so much better than running an entire VM (not even a Microsoft person but still).

As a business it’s possible to use Amazon for fulfillment only so that you can sell anywhere and have it shipped by Amazon.

How do you complete the captcha? For me it just loops; it’s to the point where not having the original link to an article is actually more annoying.

I mean that’s fine, we’re all different. If your partner doesn’t mind doing the shopping that’s fine too.

The problem here is that people really find it “unmanly” to go to the grocery store.

A lot of these rules are stupid.

Recently there was a news article about a politician dissing Kamala Harris’ husband for grocery shopping with her. The fact that anyone would even stop to consider it not being “masculine” is corny as fuck.

I do this with my wife all the time—we both eat, and we have wildly different diets (I’m vegan)—why would I just pile all my shit on her plate and make it her responsibility? Because I might be seen as gay by someone in a MAGA hat?

Maybe I’ve been in the Apple garden too long but Passkeys make this easy enough for any idiot.

Now if websites would stop prompting for a password and just use passwordless authentication I’d be happy.

In fact I did this for my own business in one day using Authentik as SSO like three years ago. What’s the holdup?
