“Free”, but with a paywall back door .
Kein Problem. Ich wollte eh nie wieder was essen.
Tadel wurde folgerichtig gelöscht.
Das Schlimme ist die Plazenta. Sag ich auch immer.


Have we ever?


Enthaltung ist halt erst mal Ablehnung.


Und auch die Grünen haben der Preiserhöhung zugestimmt.
Picking on MySQL is like pushing someone in a wheelchair, honestly.
Meanwhile, we PostgreSQL folks…


Wine is not an emulator.
I know that Wine zealots use that as a meme, but please note that I haven’t said it was. (Not that it mattered for the users anyway.)
In the next few years we’ll reach the point where Linux can play more games than Windows can
Citation needed.


I’m sure there are Windows distributions which have some DOS emulator preinstalled. ;-)


Right, but you realise that’s a reverse engineered version of the game?
The source article we’re commenting on here largely argues that Linux is only halfway decent for gaming because of Wine, a reverse-engineered version of the Windows ABI/API. Are reverse-engineered versions a valid point or not?


Which is a good thing in my opinion. Constructive debates work better without wordless reactions.


Just play it anywhere.


Why would privacy-conscious folks run a system that’s largely being developed by Microsoft, Red Hat and the NSA instead of a BSD?


Linux users hate reality, so they downvote comments. Made my day.


IBM killed OS/2, because they hate end users. IBM has a long history of making great end user products (awesome keyboards, great laptops, still good software) only to sell them to the highest bidder. All IBM execs can see are penguins with suitcases full of dollar bills. OS/2? End users loved it, but it didn’t run on mainframes. Killed. The Model M keyboard? End users loved it, but it was too durable, so it did not guarantee many sold units (because why would anyone buy a new Model M while the old one is still good?) -> rebranded as Unicomp and left to rot. (Typing this on a Unicomp PC122, but that’s a different story.) Thinkpads? Ah well, those are expensive. And they aren’t mainframes. Sold to the Chinese because ugh! End users! Lotus (SmartSuite, Notes)? Nice to have, but nope, too many end users. Ugh! End users!
Just one more reason to self-host DNS, I guess.
