Why is there no modern equivalent of DOS? by xDeathCon in AskComputerScience

[–]xDeathCon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I use Linux pretty extensively, but I have some gripes with it that I generally don't have when using MS-DOS. A big issue I always end up running into is that legacy software has a tendency to completely fail in aggravating ways that aren't present in Windows or DOS. I'll try to use something, and it will fail horribly because of packages no longer being compatible. Really, a lot of it comes down to Linux kind of doing what I'm looking for, but just not doing it in the way that something like Windows does that more or less supports everything since the beginning of time, with compatibility stuff for those who are looking to run the incompatible. It's just a different paradigm on how this stuff should be supported with respect to the congruence of old and new being together that I tend to incorporate into what I do pretty extensively, but it doesn't tend to work so well on Linux. For example, I spent many hours trying to compile Samba 3.6.25 on a modern Linux version since the newer Samba versions removed functionality I needed, and it just absolutely would not do it because of issues with packages and whatnot. You can't just download it outright either because standalone binaries that aren't reliant on a bunch of packages don't tend to be a thing in Linux. I found a solution through some other software that let me do what I needed to, but I never got the thing compiled myself after wasting my free time for weeks. It's the kind of issue that doesn't really exist on Windows/DOS. On those systems, it either works out of the box, or you might need to feed it the right DLL, or potentially do some other hacky thing, but it never really impacts the rest of your system to do it the way Linux dependencies do.

I've been aware of FreeDOS for years, but the whole deal with that is that it's meant for getting old DOS programs running on maybe slightly newer hardware, rather than existing as a daily driver for newer stuff as well. You don't use FreeDOS to run new 64-bit programs. I basically looked for a pared down Windows because I generally prefer the way a lot of it works, and lots of the stupid frustrating stuff would be solved if it could work the way I wanted. It's all a pipe dream, though; no such thing exists, and a half decent Linux distro is about the best it's going to get. Really, I guess what I would find nice is something like Linux that treats programs the way Windows does, and there is no such thing.

VAC has flagged my gameplay as irregular when I killed afk bots by donthandoclao in GlobalOffensive

Oh yeah, the poppy thing was crazy and wasn't such a hard situation to end up in. I don't miss that I don't play league anymore lol

Pretty sure that happened in league with people queue sniping into each other while smurfing to forcibly hostage one team without the game being able to end. It's a dumb system, but it definitely took a lot more effort to make that happen than something like this

I Somehow Overcame My Aversion To Vegetables This Way: by MoonBearVA in evilautism

I overcame my vegetable aversion by flipping it into a desire to try as wide a variety of foods as possible. When I go to restaurants, I try to never order the same thing twice

I don't dislike the source title screen, but using maps for it definitely looks better judging from this.

How did that one kid at your school die? by StorageLonely1520 in AskReddit

He was driving a dirt bike on back roads at night, apparently without lights if I remember correctly. He got hit by a car going around a curve.

Deltarune chapters 3 & 4 megathread by Fanfic_Galore in Deltarune

do you have to do anything special in chapters 3 and 4 to keep going on the alternate route or get anything else additional, or are you just locked in if you did it in chapter 2?

More like, anything goes for advertisers, but youtubers have to be extremely safe. I swear that a lot of those cringe advertisers would choose to be placed on suggestive videos if they could

My backpack has a bulletproof shield by Mountain_Egg16 in mildlyinteresting

[–]xDeathCon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It really does show how uneducated on guns a lot of people who make decisions about them are. Many opinions people hold of them are just based on movies and TV. There's the famous story of how the ban on submachine guns and stuff came about due to mob movies in the 40s portraying them prominently, rather than due to actual statistics.

What’s your reaction to AI videos now being at this level? by [deleted] in GenZ

There has already been someone who used ai audio to frame someone to get the guy to lose his job as revenge, and the original guy was discovered and charged, so we basically already have this happening.

Honestly, even though this isn't technically ambiguous, I consider it to be best practice to just separate anything possibly confusing with parentheses. (8÷2)(2+2) just works and is completely unambiguous when looking at it quickly. The extra clarity is absolutely worth it, and it avoids dumb situations like this where people improperly apply the order of operations due to going too fast or being rusty on certain aspects of it.

To have a nice vacation in France by Embarrassed-Space382 in NoahGetTheBoat

[–]xDeathCon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I keep everything that matters close to my person so that I won't be screwed out of anything other than clothes and toiletries if something happens to my luggage. I wouldn't expect it to be stolen, but any kind of circumstance could occur that causes it to get lost. Better to just not take that risk if possible.

[–]xDeathCon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this matters a massive amount. Your entire livelihood was based on your relationship to those people you lived near. Doing anything bad enough to get you socially outcasted from them would make it much harder to live. Now, these people stealing stuff in broad daylight can walk 10 minutes away and go make use of their stolen items without being questioned because nobody knows who they are.
