  • Then why should it allow me to save different expressions of the same meaning ever? If it's going to let me search for it case-insensitive, just head the matter off at the pass and save it that way. Either that, or automatically create link files for every case permutation to the same folder as soon as the file exists.

  • I did, because they're different ways of expressing the same meaning. They all mean (apologies for borrowing mathematical notation for linguistic applications) |file|. I don't care what the expression of a thing is, I care about meaning. And as a result, when I save a file and then search to recall it, it should not matter what case it's in - only for the meaning to match. The state of my shift or capslock should be totally immaterial.

  • Good for him. I hate case-sensitivity, and it's what keeps me going back to DOS & Windows. FILE, File, file, and FilE should all be the same thing at all times.

  • At some point, it's just time to put in an embargo.

  • God's final temple on Earth,

  • Honestly, I think the biggest question with FreeDOS nowadays is whether you want to use FreeDOS or DOSBox-X. That's been my situation for a while now, and I go back and forth.

  • Oh geez, I never realized how deep into the rabbit hole I go. But for me FreeDOS & ReactOS are just because... I was there when they were first relevant. I started with FreeDOS because of the DR-DOS scandal. I've never really gotten I2P to work. TempleOS is still ambitious. And I actually jumped on here because I got annoyed that I can't use Lynx, only Links (I'm on Linux Mint).

    I only touched Plan 9 From Bell Labs when I was in or around Lucent.

    Tails USB should be in my go bag with a machine that has no HDD, XMPP/Jabber - don't use it anymore because everybody left it for other things.

    And yeah... from there up, I have pieces too.

  • Absolutely not. If we're going to be on the aggressive path, we need to stay the course. There are demands in place. Either they're met, or it keeps going - up to and including a complete embargo on Chinese goods, while we continue to discuss the situations with HK and Taiwan ROC separately.

  • No, but have you ever had a typo?

  • And this is why you take aggregate data and specify outliers. Whenever you work with living beings, you have to account for personality. It's not a mutation, it's not a factor you can control. I know some individual plants that have had traits that could be related to human personality; I'd bet that it's even the case with jellyfish. There's always going to be one being who goes against the norm. And frankly we want that, because without that factor, no one would advance or grow.

  • It'd look a lot better than NJTransit.

  • Of all the moves he could make now, this would be the worst. If you want to apply brutish tactics and force, you must be prepared to maintain that force until either you accomplish the stated goals or you've been so completely drained that you have to fold.

    The USA is in neither position. This isn't a gesture of magnanimity. This is just proof that he's already made money off it somehow.

    ETA: Typo.

  • The two issues are out of scale.

    Causing intentional harm to innocents is psychotic and a fairly clear indicator that there is something deeply wrong with the person doing the harm. Having a consensual sexual encounter with a fellow adult is not (intended to be) harmful. If anything, we should be making it clear to both young men and young women that it is absolutely fine to fool around, if both parties are adults, give consent, and use protections appropriate to their shared goal (kids/no kids, LTR/one-night-stand, etc.). Yes, it's something that should take a little forethought, but it shouldn't be inherently taboo or shameful.

  • Does that1 security no-no matter on a single-user system which (almost) never leaves the sight of said user? Or is that just a matter of 'don't do this on a server'?

  • Why? Simple. Young men now have to compete for the attention of women in a way that they never did. In times past, if there was competition for a woman's attention or time, it was with another man - someone they saw as an equal, a better, or someone to be defeated. Now the competition is with the woman herself. It's not just a matter of putting on the act of shaving, buying a suit, going to church, spending time with her instead of sporting events, and so forth - for the purpose of courtship only. Most of that could be shut off immediately after the marriage license was signed and the rest after the birth of the first child.

    Generally speaking, society is applauding women for competing with men like that, and telling men that they have to 'be better' - while not giving clear objectives on what "better" is. Add to that ongoing social friction (especially now after the lockdowns), and the situation for many young men is looking rather bleak.

    Along comes Andrew Tate (and a slew of other MR activists), who tell these disappointed, depressed guys that what they're experiencing is not their fault (which is what they already believe, but are afraid to say). They provide clear, simple answers - do this, achieve that. And it works, especially the basic things. Why wouldn't they listen to people who tell them that they're not the problem? Or who tells them what they can do to solve the problem? Of course young men listen to it and heed it. But because they're so caught up in a cult of personality, they don't know how to speak a new, less toxic voice into existence.
