If it was free, we probably wouldn’t have it because the system would have broken down with no money to fix it.

It used to not use Chromium at all.
Age of consent nationally was 13, but most prefectures had raised the age to at least 18 many, many years earlier. Specifically, most of the local prefecture laws outlawed sexual acts that were judged to be indecent between adolescents (those under 18) and adults. 46 of the 47 prefectures had adopted local laws to outlaw this behavior by the end of the 1980s. The last one (Nagano Prefecture) adopted laws to outlaw this behavior in 2016.
For reference, this array of local laws is referred to as Seishōnen Hogo Ikusei Jōrei, which can be translated to “Bylaws for Protecting and Nurturing Adolescents”.
I knew it wasn’t on the plate anymore.
I just didn’t know it was GNAWING THE KID’S ARM OFF.
My lack of knowledge about whatever an emacs plugin is proves #4 wrong.

Apparently, the trophy actually comes in two parts. It’s supposed to come apart. Vance didn’t know that, picked it up the wrong way, and it came apart and (when it hit the ground) broke.

I just use Boost for Lemmy. It doesn’t have that problem.

I have. I was making a reference, which is why I linked that video.

Huh. Never realized that. I’ve only ever heard Linux users call it CLI, so I just assumed it was what most Linux users called the Terminal. And I assumed Terminal was the generic name since Mac also has a Terminal app.
Also, side note: it’s called Terminal on Windows now, too. Windows unified their Powershell and Command Prompt programs into a single app (on the surface, at least). You can open either Powershell or Command Prompt using tabs in the app.

To be fair, Windows really hasn’t pushed Powershell all that much. They haven’t even fully ported over all of Command Prompt’s commands. You have to prefix those with
.\
(I think; it’s been a while) in order to get them to run even though the error message that comes up if you don’t include that will tell you, “Hey, there’s a command named this. Prefix it with that to use it.”Now, instead of simply porting everything over, they have one app (named Terminal) running both programs.

I think it’s the Linux equivalent of Windows Command Prompt.

There any custom versions you can point me to? I’ve been looking for a custom Android OS to install on my Insignia Fire TV.
Or anywhere poor or remotely interesting.
My antivirus is extra paranoid: it scans new files as soon as they’re unzipped or as soon as I try to run them for the first time.

I turned off that AI stuff as soon as I saw it. Click the gear icon in Notepad in the upper right to open settings and turn it off.
- Gestrid@lemmy.catoPC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Amazon thought it could compete with Steam because it was so much larger than Valve, but Prime Gaming's former VP admits that 'gamers already had the solution to their problems'English3·4 months ago
GOG Galaxy has the ability to download offline installers. They’re listed under Extras on the game’s page. It’s arguably even better there than on the website because you can download those .bin files all in a single click.

Prime Gaming gives away free games every week or so. It’s one of the perks available to those subscribed to Amazon Prime.
Those games can be on EGS, Amazon’s own launcher (that nobody uses), GOG, or Legacy Games Launcher.
Actually, from what I can tell in my brief 15-minute internet search, every version of Windows since NT has accepted both because DOS 2.0 supported both. The exception to this was Command Prompt. But, these days, it supports both. Not sure when they made that change in Command Prompt, but I think it’s been that way since at least Windows 7.
Exactly what I was thinking of when I made that comment. Highway maintenance is paid for, at least in part, through tolls.
