The first desktop version, Mac OS X 10.0, was released on March 24, 2001. Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and all releases from OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion to macOS 14 Sonoma are UNIX 03 certified

I don’t like MacOS, but it’s actually able to be called UNIX.

What? You didn’t like “Boot Scootin’ Moogie”? /s

First time I checked back there since the schism, and yeah, you’re 100% right. lol

ptz, (edited ) to linuxmemes in Everyone loves snaps
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

Yeah, it does, but if you try to install packages from apt, it still uses some Ubuntu repos and will try to sneak snaps and snapd in on you.

All Canonical had to do was NOT push snaps through apt and I’d probably be fine with them.

ptz, to linux in change my mind: Ubuntu does the same thing as Android
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

I don’t like Google’s Android or Ubuntu. lol

But I do like Android (AOSP) and Debian a lot though.

ptz, to risa in Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

I really do wish reversing the polarity worked like that. lol

AC broken? No problemo! Just reverse the polarity on the oven.

ptz, to programmer_humor in I don't wanna show mine either
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

I’ll show you mine:

Spoiler[There’s nothing here].

ptz, to asklemmy in Where do you get affordable scented candles?
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

I get most of mine from the grocery store. When they’re on sale, they’re usually almost half off, so I buy several and stock up.

ptz, to asklemmy in Which books have the worst video adaptation?
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

Oh, I didn’t mean it was perfect, just acceptable. lol

I’m still holding out for a streaming mini-series that is a 1:1 adaptation of the book. I just can’t let that dream go.

I enjoyed Sphere…

The novel was great. The movie…eh, not so much (IMO, anyway). Not even the combined powers of Dustin Hoffman, Samuel L Jackson, and Queen Latifah could really make it work for me. There’s just too much subtlety in the book that didn’t make it to the screen.

@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

I’ve read it but never seen the movie. lol. Based on the other bad adaptations, I assumed it was one as well. Will check it out sometime!

@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

Pretty much every movie based on a Crichton novel except the first Jurassic Park and the original 1971 adaptation of The Andromeda Strain. Every other one has been awful (including The Lost World which is so far from the book it shouldn’t even get to be called “based on”).

Edit: After sleeping on it, I don’t know if the movie adaptations are objectively awful or if I was just unimpressed because I read the novel first for all of them.

@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

I mean, he does, but +1 for the reference.

ptz, (edited ) to risa in Star Trek pip guide
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

I’ve seen Voyager 3 times and never noticed they had alt pips. Wow. 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you’re looking to hire a private investigator, you should…call someone else. I’m not that observant apparently.

ptz, to asklemmy in why do & ampersands never display properly in titles?
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

The API sanitizes them, so they’re stored encoded (&) in the database.

Some frontends correct for this when posts are rendered, some don’t. Voyager and Tesseract, at least, seem to correct them. Not sure about others.

ptz, to asklemmy in What are some modern bullshit jobs?
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

GNOME Foundation names “professional shaman” as new executive director

That’s kind of a two-fer right there.
