[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp

rms is a sort of a creep, no doubting it - he's not an epstein defender at all though, that's 100% wrong and it's a hatchet job

what he said was that marvin minsky (a prof at MIT who hooked up with a couple of epstein's girls) probably didn't know they were coerced into being there

very different statement than defending epstein

windows 10 is ok because they finally added virtual desktops and linux compatibility. I wish I could uninstall the loving xbox app without powers hell hacks tho, at least candy crush was deletable

I spent forever trying to get a sound input in the computer to come directly out of the speakers

I had to google some poo poo and paste a long command into the run on the start bar to bring up the legacy audio input screen

they hosed up the control panel etc becasue they didn't replace it, only some of it, but made the parts they didnt replace very very difficult to find

if this was linux you’d be compiling sound daemons and trying to get them to talk to each other in a laggy and unreliable audio routing network

*alsamixer shows 256 volume sliders, the right combination of which must be set to various levels so that the master volume control works in human-scale increments*

rms has some weird and bad opinions, also he's maybe a creep and probably not a good spokesperson for free software

but he also wrote the GPL and he wrote the original gcc, gdb, gnu make, gnu emacs, some of binutils, and some of coreutils. Linux (as we know it) wouldn't exist without him.

so you're saying is that once we figure out time travel we can correct this horrible mistake

i sometimes throw cables away

i mean straight into the bin without spending 10+ years in the box of might-come-in-handy-someday first

im a fucking monster

free software existed before the GPL, and there was a thriving shareware/public domain scene that grew up completely independently in the pre-internet days. the GPL is just RMS trying to take credit for something that already existed, and make everyone do things his way because he's an idiot zealot

nice, did you make this decision while wearing the black tee that says no i won't fix your computer or the one that says stand back.... it's time to try science

mostly because i fully intend the giftee in this case to install win10 but if i provide something that just works for games maybe they won't have to go to the trouble

i'm trying to be helpful here okay

to anyone else who was confused he is talking about the static "get the outlook app for your phone" button. which is pretty dumb. especially since they don't check if you already have it.
