directly replacing /bin/init with /bin/bash is probably not a good idea unless /bin/bash is statically-linked. of course I don't expect something like bash4->bash5 to happen anytime soon, but it's something to keep in mind

(might be moot if what the system ends up using is the same bash, of course)

WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK

They don't have the resources.. to do .. File Manager

"we simply do not have the expertise or resources within the organization to continue to maintain this project."

so microsoft no longer has the expertise to develop the most basic windows program that is still useful

microsoft no longer has the expertise to actually write win32 apps

ACTUALLY this could spell out that win32 as we have known it is finally gonna be fundamentally busted and not even the most primitive functions will work properly anymore

people actually used that?!

color me shocked

it actually works better in some circumstances vs explorer

also, technically it's *checks license* FOSS, so I guess a zillion forks will keep it alive somehow

now MS please opensource Program Manager :P

> While you may continue to work on your own private fork, remember that use of archived repositories are more risky from a security standpoint and caution should be taken.

oh yeah, here comes the Sekuritah FUD™

tomman: i have the program manager source code somewhere.. someone needs to cleanroom it

fuckin gitlab is too MOOOODDDDEEERRRRNNN to import from a dumbhttp git directory

ugh

Git is no longer for dinosaurs, it seems

gitlab also is too MODERN to use ports

so i have to have my gogs repo be dumbhttp hosted.. imported to codeburg then maybe gitlab will import it

it's one of my old trees so too large to just.. push

cause if gogs is exposed to the web someone comes along and crashes it and for some reason this sophisticated system daemon can't figure out to restart it

and remember this is ALL BECAUSE SOMEONE didn't want me to start an x11 fork by recruiting anti-waylandists on some gist...

tomman:

i dunno if other people have these problems and shit.. but I do know most other people have normal life to deal with as well.. whatever that means in today's world..

at least it's not a $60K problem: dnalounge.com/backstage/log/2025/04/15.html

guys, if you ever consider quitting web browser dev, NEVER go and open a place to sell booze

i am starting to think our imperious leader cares more about his freakie liberal nightclub than those whom his software shaped and the world at large..

at least he has his stainless steel toilets working again

I think it's time to occupy dnalounge and get JWZ to lead us to victory

if he wants to use the dnalounge as a war room all the better

think he will go for it?

lol

Windows PCs are not welcome at the DNA, so...

i use linux

... mostly

I want to ask him why the bouncing cows are lit with flesh colored light..

first and foremost then on to the world collapse and such

priorities.. shitters, cows, the world.

Or you can get a Mastodon account and ask him :)

seems netscape to me

if he is not pissed off as usual, he may even reply

just NEVER try to help him when a "Dear Lazyweb" toot comes up

> One of the brand new toilets in Men's was already horribly clogged because some asshole tried to flush a phone-sized vape.

Jesus...

and this is why I'll stick to software, thanks :/

Hi the not away frg

what's new?

nsITobin this and that. Doing mostly l10n cleanups today. Wanted to do 2.53.21 but tomorrow is another day.

He just needs this one for the toilet: ibb.co/YS61zJs

nah, his place is MICROS~1-free~

now, a "war on drugs" urinal cake would be more down his alley

(he actually wrote about that one about 30 years ago, if I recall well)

agh MercadoLibre, not only your Chromeisms crater my seller experience, your site design is also a dump for my buyer experience!

to the idiot at Argentina that decided to get rid of subcategories at places like "hard disk drives" or "old magazines", there is a special place in hell reserved for you

hint: it's not cozy

got a broken Lenovo laptop a while ago (a Ideapad junk), owner do not want to repair it, got told to part it out and sell it

which means dealing with 50 Shades of Breakage at ML's seller website

And a message to people still employed at IBM: ibb.co/zh0KqWrs

I've Been Moved™

tomman not worth to part them out. Sell as a whole.

Well, this one actually has a broken case, broken LCD panel, dead HDD, no RAM, dead battery...

and when I took apart the LCD panel asembly to temporarily remove the broken panel and swap in a testing unit, that case also broke apart

the hinges are basically floating in mid air since the screwposts got toaled

--totaled

it's a G480, with a CPU class I had never seen in the last 15 years: a Celeron

It is a piece of junk. psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/withdrawnbook/3wbook.pdf

butbutubt it's a Ivy Bridge, and turns out Ivy Bridge is my second favorite bridge after Sandy Bridge :D

but yeah, the case is basically made out of best wishes and crushed hopes

weirdly enough this one was made in Argentina

didn't even knew Lenovo assembled laptops there

oh fun, the specific config I got here is not even listed there (Celeron 1000M), I guess it was some Latam-exclusive model then

Come over and grab a T430s or T530 then. Seems the cellery cpu is hd graphics so the more or less good HD4000 drivers won't work I assume.

But it is a pga socket so in theory it can taken an i5.

munch time so away on the olterh laptop only :)

oh wow MercadoLibre

"Optane Capacity" is a mandatory parameter to list laptops, even broken ones

WTF

but RAM... isn't

they ask 20000 irrelevant questions

also the TEXT-ONLY (because ML killed HTML descriptions) editor has EXTREME lag and high CPU usage - deleting stuff takes SECONDS, and the whole product editor sometimes goes "oops, something happened™"

nsITobin, tomman: IMHO the Explorer, at least starting with NT 6.1, might become harder to use. Haven't been able to nail it down other than noticing the UI being so... unorganized also does not help

0419|18:24:09 <+tomman> guys, if you ever consider quitting web browser dev, NEVER go and open a place to sell booze <-- [ok, some fiction:] jwz would be like "oh I know, I'll sell pizza too" and now he has two problems.

also I demand a war room which is not inside the USA. Preferrably with no pies :-P

... ok, maybe that movie is not something I want to have near my thoughts right now given certain world events.
