  • Heh. Yes they’re similar, but on the technical side different in a very important way. It has to do with opening a file from inside another program. If you select a shortcut, the program with treat or as a separate file, so most of the time the action will fail. A link, though, you should end up with the program opening the target of the link. In other words, a shortcut is a file that points at a different file, where a symlink involves she filesystem trickery to accomplish almost the same thing.

    That’s a horrible, just terrible explanation, though - but I’m pretty sure this is the gist of it.



  • Whoah, no need to get defensive! That was just a guess based on my own observations, and I never said anything about whether they have the right to do whatever the hell they want with their own chips (which would be true regardless, I reckon).

    That said, given that their business model depends on their walled garden approach, I just find myself wondering if they might’ve seen the possibility of running any old ARM executable on their silicon as a potential threat to their business model? But there’s all sorts of factors in play, so maybe I’m wrong and that whole possibility is irrelevant.

    Do you happen to know if they strictly extended existing APIs?










  • It is very disturbing when a man is obsessed with shaping themselves to fit some gross vision of manliness rather than just finding their own way in life. Coming from a dude, btw.

    Like, what the fuck are you afraid of? Respecting other people? I mean, seriously, nothing projects weakness more than letting some vague social concept define you, rather than choosing that for yourself.

    Hell, trans women have FAR more strength than those assholes. Hell, anybody who openly identifies as LGBTQ+, really.

    And so many of them just need to get over the fact that they like to bottom. Cause what the fuck is wrong with that, anyway?? Such a disgusting and desperate need to define a woman as less than a man, I suppose.
