@SnoopJ @cthos @glyph There's some compatibility advantages over just pure Windows, even. It's pretty easy to just create a whole new Wine prefix, tell programs running in that prefix that it's a different version of Windows, then run them that way. Basically, side-by-side installing multiple copies of Windows.
That's a bit extreme, but it's nice to have that option.

@glyph This is a big challenge for The Onion. They had a thing months ago about ICE releasing a decapitation video of Gavin Newsom. To beat the horrifying absurdity of real life, you may have to dive beneath it & you may sort of lose something, some shred of humanity, in the process.

@glyph I want to sit every nerd down and explain to them that if you expect your users to know what's inside their computer you are excluding 95% of your potential audience
@jalefkowit You realise that for nerds, excluding 95% of their audience is a feature, right? That’s why they have a word for them: “normies.”

@glyph if you ignore all the shit that happened for money and then failed, we are only growing stronger.

@glyph I feel it is always worth remembering that these things are contingent and genealogical rather than teleological and unified.
The revolution existed at the same time as the rest and the pieces are all there, and capital is doing its best to capture the value after the disruption

@glyph I have been trying to say exactly this for quite a while now and never made it concise enough. Thank you

it's truly amazing what LLMs can achieve. we now know it's possible to produce an html5 parsing library with nothing but the full source code of an existing html5 parsing library, all the source code of all other open source libraries ever, a meticulously maintained and extremely comprehensive test suite written by somebody else, 5 different models, a megawatt-hour of energy, a swimming pool full of water, and a month of spare time of an extremely senior engineer

@glyph yes'nt (because it will force me to finally purchase and play this game)

@glyph I did not really pick up on that as a primary theme, and so would be an interested reader!

@glyph Sorry, I was distracted by a fascist conspiracy that infected the brains of the populace, turning them into unrecognizable monsters.
But also yes, I’d enjoy your thoughts on BG3 whatever angle you take.

@mpirnat there's also a bit of that. "fascism is a death cult" is a reading so surface that it's practically levitating

@aldeka thanks for the encouragement, I guess I will be entering my Aesthetic Philosophy Arc in 2026
