psud,

I haven’t tried running anything new, but the stuff I have run in wine has worked easily, without any tweaking

psud,

You can’t say that without explaining the reference. How can they be one of the lucky 10 000 when they still don’t get it?

psud,

It depends on your industry. I’m in an agile development team, working in AWS in Java. I’m not a dev, so my work is in spreadsheets, word processor documents, web utilities like Azure Dev Ops

All that is platform independent, though we have to work on the organisation’s computers, so we work in the office on windows PCs or from home on whatever, remoted into a windows machine or VM

The devs work in VMs which are variously windows or GNU/Linux depending on what the person’s previous project was.

psud,

You can look up beer recipes and buy equipment and ingredients from it though. And use web based or spreadsheet calculators on it to do beer related calculations

That beer is also not free, but assuming you make beer for a long time the price per pint (half litre to split the difference between UK and US pints) tends toward about 20c (though highly hopped beers like hazy pale ale can get towards a dollar a pint) which is pretty cheap

psud,

GIMP will be great once it no longer needs to dodge patents

Audio players work great now MP3 is out of patent (before that MP3 was really only available if you were willing to ignore the patent)

psud,

There was a TCP/IP bug that shared it’s exploit on versions of windows from windows for workgroups 3.11 (which you ran from the DOS prompt by typing ‘win’) through to windows 7 (which was the new hotness at the time)

That’s a bug conserved from the very first Microsoft implementation of TCP/IP through to the state of the art at the time

People were surprised at the time that it wasn’t a windows NT bug

psud,

You could get Ubuntu in a free like America style

psud,

My city was designed to be driven to. It was built after cars were common

But it’s still quicker to get from suburbia to city by bike than bus, but car is quicker still

psud,

My bicycle commute is 22km each way, and after riding for a few weeks, I was up for riding that plus a loop around the local lake (with a friend), then back home all on a Saturday, after doing that commute every day of the week before

Now e-bikes exist that’s even achievable by quite unfit people
