Yeah same, it's really weird. It's really annoying because I can only see images when at home as that's the only WiFi I'm consistently on

This is a random and off topic question but does catbox.moe block Verizon wireless IPs? I can never access pictures when not home.

My morbid curiosity would read this... probably

Is there anyway for a website to verify your age without being an invasion of privacy and basically asking you to dox yourself to them though?

This honestly makes some sense though. Legacy bios is virtually dead on all modern systems. CSM still exists on some stuff but it's fading out. The A20 gate no longer exists, the PC industry is moving on. DOS on real hardware at this point is just going to get progressively more and more rare as the hardware further diverges from the IBM PC heritage it's clung to. Real mode is the next thing on the chopping block and that will completely kill the legacy bios and DOS outside of VMs.

Hmmm, this is a really interesting article. I always make it a habit that every time I have multiple threads accessing a data structure I use the Collections.synchronized methods to create the structure so as to avoid race conditions. This just gives me another data point as to why that's a good idea.

Usually I do my best to blame the network with cause!

Apparently it only impacts officially compiled versions. Guess I'll just stay away from those? I run librewolf anyway and that aside I'm on Linux where officially compiled versions aren't even the norm. Chrome is definitely not my answer

The fact your gnome one has the kde icon in the top left threw me for a loop at first

I wonder how that works on multi-user systems. How do they structure that so that settings are per-user?

macOS applications are folders and that will never stop being weird to me. They basically use the same setup as windows but instead of making the application the executable in the folder they turn the whole folder into the executable

Lol, yeah but React isn't Linux based so doesn't quite end up so cursed. Last time I played with it it was still really squirrelly.

Because it's fun. As someone who is writing a hobbyist kernel(slowly) it isn't about making a functional OS, it's about learning how systems work and suffering while you do it =D.

I wouldn't classify React as a hobby project per-say. I suppose it is but I put hobby OSes in a category of not having a goal to ever be production ready for anyone outside the developers. Tbh react would have way better compat if they focused on win32 over Linux as opposed to developing NT from scratch but the project is also old enough(1998) to be from a time where Linux wasn't what it is today in terms of wide spread hardware support.
