Me too, on Linux, but this was about Windows.

Or just use Hyper-V since it’s natively available and one should refrain from touching Oracle with a ten-foot pole. I know it’s just a means to an end but better to avoid bad vendors if at all possible.

Sounds like a comment on one of those tell me where you’re from without mentioning the country type of threads.

Not a native English speaker, but I automatically read it is hot Reagan. You could’ve told them you just had the hotties for ol’ Ronnie.

What a twat.

And hence the term read-only Friday.

Many parts of FW work a bit like an abstract painting where each viewer finds their own interpretation, each of those equally valid and independent of what the author possibly intended. An AI dumbed down version would just show one path through the work, the one it thinks is the main road. But yes, at best, such version could sparkle an interest and function as a gateway to the work. Or extinguish all interest for good.

Interesting. I’d definitely skim through such a version, albeit it totally abolishes the intricacies of FW.

That’s actually not that bad. Of course missing all the smells and taste of the text, allusions and double meanings, but as a very coarse synopsis it’ll do.

It’s Finnegans Wake, without the apostrophe. Obviously a book full of puns and riddles must have them in its title as well.

Pretty much, yes. In fact this bit is on the clearer side compared to most of the text. It’s very challenging and one should probably not dive into it unprepared (there are a lot of side literature and guides to accompany it). However it’s well worth the effort once you learn how to read it (e.g. the words draw their meanings via how they’re sounding in addition to how they’re written).

Tbf, there would be no point in dumbing down (or simplifying) something like Ulysses which is a prime example of a literary work where the form and content are inseparable.

Now do Finnegans Wake.

Any experience on OneDrive Client for Linux by any chance?

I’m sure you’re not a piece of shit, but by still having a Twitter account equals to supporting the platform and its owner (a proven piece of shit). Even if you’re not giving it any traffic by being logged in or following users (which you’re doing), you’d be giving it your support.

By unfollowing your sports people and quitting the shithole altogether you’re sending a clear message that the platform is dying (it’s already dead for many) and it’s high time for people to find alternatives.

Also the “we’re setting things up for you” or whatever user-dumb-hide-details crap the Teams PWA throws on your screen while launching is just… As if there was a live team of engineers carefully configuring your current Teams instance so that it starts up right. (A bit off-topic, but current trend of software “speaking to users in patronising manner” is annoying af. Unless it’s up to or exceeding HAL-3000 level, it should be abolished.)

Thank you for finding the source. Well, at least he backed down on the pedophilia thing.

As always a source of some kind is appreciated.

Dave is a businessman first and foremost. I wonder how Pat is dealing with this sort of shit.
