But it’s genuinely what we were all doing not so long ago
Jokes on you, my first job was editing files directly in production. It was for a webapp written in Classic ASP. To add a new feature, you made a copy of the current version of the page (eg index2_new.asp became index2_new_v2.asp) and developed your feature there by hitting the live page with your web browser.
When you were ready to deploy, you modified all the other pages to link to your new page

Second version: give up and embed Windows inside a VM
I’m pretty sure Tesla cars dont run on Windows…
Is this a typo? I’m sure lemmy.nz has been around longer than yesterday
Thanks Dave, you’re doing an awesome job.
I feel like a traitor as a kiwi that joined lemmy.world instead of lemmy.nz (I was part of one of the early Reddit exodus’s and didn’t know any better) but thanks to federation I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything
Me too. 2000 seemed… Slow compared to XP on the same hardware, but to be fair the hardware I had was cobbled together from parts that my father’s employer was going to throw out
I was there, 3000 years ago…
Tux racer go b…r…r…r
I only had access to ex-corporate office hand-me-down motherboards as a kid. This was about 1 potato per 3 seconds of rendering performance (I’m 34)

Your job is now to lure them away from the Microsoft bros
Yeah, but, like, I use Arch btw
As someone who works, flatpak’s solve a bunch of problems, freeing me up to continue working.
Security issues are just a class of issue; no more or less important than other issues
