you wouldn’t download contact lenses… /jk

i guess that’s a non-issue with linux, especially seeing stuff like bc250 lately…

hopefully we get some cheap gpus later that can be used with workarounds like outputting to other gpu!

many of them lack a display output port sadly…

WACUP is an updated version of WinAMP 5.666 or smth, for m$win ofc. Alternatively and systems other than m$win there’s audacious which is a fork of XMMS/BMP and can be built with either GTK+2 or Qt5.

WinAMP 2.95 was the best version but it doesn’t support FLAC…

these days i mostly run freebsd and linux instead of windows, so xnview mp is the only one that works. i still have xnview classic on my windows machine, iirc it was kinda faster or smth…

jasc paintshop pro 7.0

xnview

vim

fvwm

seamonkey

midnight commander

ahh seems like it’s proprietary sadly… dropping a link for anyone curious https://timetreeapp.com/intl/en

they also host apk on their forum, it had some less restriction than the gplay version iirc but not sure what it was about exactly…

i’m seriously amazed by many people’s ability to ignore and withstand those annoying ads lmao. even a tiny banner one some website is enough to trigger me to create a new ublock filter…

wtf

unfortunately firefox upstream is moving towards this, the reverts are only temporary measure…

First they came https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_They_Came

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

honestly i’m not sure lol

you’re right but that’s mostly in the context of students referring to their teachers, i had the impression it’s quite different from the way it gets used as a second person pronoun or as a way of showing respect to someone.

Also, and genuinely curious here, what is used for “teacher” in a school setting? But if a teenager said their teacher sucks what word would they use?

선생님 is the primary way of refering to teachers, but if one’s being rude they might as well say “선생” (without the “님”) or their name, nickname, etc…

english isn’t my primary language so i’m not sure if my comment makes sense lol

the word you mean (선생님) is quite different from ‘teacher’ tho, can’t think of an english equivalent of that word…

more money than brains

i’m definitely stealing this phrase, thanks

i think samsung doesn’t manufacturer printers anymore since a very long time ago. iirc it’s a rebranded hp printer (at least in samsung’s homeland korea) and quite notorious for breaking often

there are stuff like miranda-ng but i don’t think there’s one for the platforms you need sadly… fuck proprietary protocols and networks

installing apps for everything

bruh that’s such a huge red flag, honestly i’m confused if this post is genuine or bait…

ofc there could be a zero day, but highly unlikely if there’s too little attack surface. honestly i consider my win7 setup with firewall much more secure than some random person’s win11 box.

a targeted attack just for me surely could work, but that’s VERY unlikely to ever happen. there are much easier targets if some gov agent wants my personal info lol. and this sort of attack would be possible on any systems even if i keep it updated.

i use the machine for two proprietary softwares. one is a loffice writer/m$word equivalent called Hangul, the other is a whatsapp equivalent called KakaoTalk. you need these for basic stuff in this country because everyone else uses it unfortunately.

for hangul there’s a native linux build (proprietary ofc) that’s of alpha quality, barely usable for reading. WINE kinda works except it sometimes crashes on some specific features, and I don’t want it crashing while writing documents.

for kakaotalk there’s no linux build, only mac/win/android/ios. WINE works but very poorly so I need windows, and win7 works better than win10 for me since they dropped support for win7 then introduced antifeatures (mostly ads) but still keep the last win7 version functional. i RDP into the win7 machine to chat. (win7 is also much better than later versions especially when RDPing, since they support the proper classic theme unlike later versions that needs the shitty aero theme and dwm at all times. looks better, and also much faster over slow network)
