Sorry, I don't get the joke. "Oh, wait a minute...." what?...

[Michael_S]

I see, thanks....

Go to Steam -> Settings, and then the Steam Play option at the bottom left, then check the box "Enable Steam Play for all titles" and then...

[Michael_S]

You can go into the Steam Play options and enable Proton for every Windows game. They just won't support it if it doesn't work. You probably knew that...

[Michael_S]

Thanks for explaining. I defer to your expertise. As I wrote before, I only wrote some trivial scripts in Guile....

[Michael_S]

Why does it trouble you? I've used Guile for some trivial scripts and it works fine. I understand some of the other Scheme implementations are faster,...

Xbps package manager for Void Linux has something like that. It's the fastest package manager I've used. Void is a cool distro, I should fire it up...

I've had plenty of headaches as a Linux desktop user. But I am far more sympathetic to a loosely connected global group of volunteers when they make a...

[Michael_S]

Oh, if anything we the free software community should be grateful that Microsoft's QA/QE processes are so awful. If Windows had been a more robust and...

[Michael_S]

When doesn't Microsoft do things quick and dirty?

(Edit: I know it's popular for free software enthusiasts to knock Microsoft. But for example...

[Michael_S]

Heh, didn't think of it. Thanks. Does anyone know off-hand if profiles for Thunderbird are cross-platform compatible? Can I copy one from Linux to...

[Michael_S]

The one advantage of a web application is easier sign on for multiple devices. Right now I have to set up Thunderbird, then my email on Thunderbird,...

[Michael_S]

Actually, I think that fits what he (or she, whatever) wrote. He said a lot of programmers aren't good about theory. He didn't say they make bad code,...
