Fonzie!

Millenials grew up using BASIC on Windows 3?!

Millenials were teenagers possibly learning coding starting from 1995, the world was using C++ on Windows 95 at best.

I think “they prefer” Arch because a lot of them just bought a Steam Deck and that comes with Arch and it just works.

Yeah that was me a bunch of years ago, thinking I’d cut the unnecessary dependencies from my system.
I learned they were not so unnecessary.

It’s an older Intel macbook, those are just like most Windows laptops.

If it was one of the newer macbook M’s, it would’ve been quite difficult at least.

And mostly, Windows/Linux will update for eternity; it’s up to you if it works and it most likely will despite the wide abd varied hardware support.

They really want us to use Linux, thanks Microsoft!

It’s far more dangerous to run it without a space between the - and rf

Ahaha. That hurts.

Pro-Tip: Even if you don’t program in Python, it might be necessary for several of your applications.

They have done 4 year windows before, and we still cannot know for sure how long for example the macbook m1 will be supported, still.

That said, 4-7 years for a laptop of that price seems short, I also don’t understand why they have to bring mobile OS support windows to laptops in the first place.

When it comes to update support, it seems odd to me to recommend Apple’s computers when they literally have a mobile OS’ support window to the OS.

Mario Kart online, with the proximity voice chat mod for trash talking with dopplereffect.

Have you not pushed it yet? I can’t see it anywhere.

Although, Apple also just decides to make updates unavailable for your device once it’s a few years old, so there’s that.

Windows on a Dell XPS laptop was a good experience, firmware (and Windows) updates always came instantly. With Linux I have to keep an eye out for BIOS updates from time to time but Dell does not shy away from releasing BIOS updates for an over 7 years old laptop. Probably because their newer laptops use the same BIOS, but still!

You’re not disproving their point, though.

If anything, if the opposition is like this, it makes them seem all the more credible…

Why are you using Vim for this? Vim actually allows you to change the cursor position and select text with the mouse if your terminal supports it.

Hm, actually now I do remember countryside Netherlands (achterhoek, to be more exact) has (had?) farmers selling their potatoes, strawberries or other produce just by putting them all on a big table next to a road, and putting a sign saying how much they cost with a little plastic container to put your cash in.
Also no human supervision, whatsoever.

Though I haven’t seen them as much anymore, and quite some seem to have been replaced by vending machines or disappeared completely…

PC, Switch, PS4; ok
Xbox, SNES, GBA; rare but welcome
Genesis, Saturn, Neo Geo; incredibly rare!

Some of these, such as the Saturn and GBA, are such wildly different platforms!
Porting this must have been no small feat, and I wonder if there are differences between some of the versions?

Alternative forms

Eerdappel […] (obsolete)

As Arnhemmer, I don’t completely agree.

Oh absolutely!
They just had no ananas exposure beyond that from the Americans.

as they couldn’t pronounce the Dutch word

I mean I can’t blame them, the language’s phonosyntactics are very different from French, it’s hard to pronounce in general and sounds awful to boot.

It’s a bit cherry picked, but only a bit, since there are a few languages that just copied the English word later on.
Japanese and Korean come to mind.
