I don’t understand how that hybrid is supposed to work. Monospace is a binary attribute; either all chars have the same width or not. So what is the font now?

Most people in my company use OSX, followed by a few dozen Linux users (various distros; whatever each one prefers), followed by a few Windows users (whyever they want that). So essentially: we can choose what we want to use.

They also fuck over their own OS. I don’t think they deliberately broke dual boot installs, they simply don’t put enough effort in QA. (See their recent problems with BitLocker after an update. Or that one update that fails because some internal partition is too small. And so on.)

Fli4l is still around?! Crazy. I used that back in 2002 or so to turn an old i386 with 3 ISA HP 100Mbit network cards into a router + fileserver combo. Good times.

glibc’s malloc increases the stacksize of threads depending on the number of cpu cores you have. The JVM might spawn a shitload of threads. That can increase the memory usage outside of the JVMs heap considerably. You could try to run the jvm with tcmalloc (which will replace malloc calls for the spawned process). Also different JVMs bundle different memory allocators. I think Zulu could also improve the situation out of the box. tcmalloc might still help additionally.

I ran Arch on a convertible laptop around 2006-2010. Most notes I did using OpenOffice Writer, with hotkeys to quickly add formulas. Drawings were done with the pen. Homework (where speed didn’t matter as much but where I wanted high quality) were done in ConTeXt.

Programming was done in FreePascal using Lazarus IDE or Java using Netbeans IDE, depending on the course and my personal preference.

I think I had no complaints from anyone. Quite the contrary, one professor even gifted me a book as a thanks for the high quality typesetting in my homeworks, since most students didn’t give a shit and had no fucking clue how to really use their beloved MS Word.

Yeah but why not both? Extra support shouldn’t hurt.

They already accept donations as a means of continuous support. So I guess this is now just another channel for people who prefer buying a license over using github donations.

Edit: oh I just realized they stopped donations with the restructuring. Ok, that’s weird then.

If you are so keen on correctness, please don’t say “LLMs are lying”. Lying is a conscious action of deceiving. LLMs are not capable of that. That’s exactly the problem: they don’t think, they just assemble with probability. If they could lie, they could also produce real answers.

Yup, I don’t understand it either. Many “how to fix …” articles involve quite a lot powershell magic. And I say “magic” because IMO they are often essentially API calls which I find far harder to grasp than config files that follow some logic and help me understand what is interacting how.

They said “in addition to registry editing”.

I said it’s possible, just much more effort than the current solution which only requires reading and and parsing the process name on startup.

They still need to know the key. If you publicly distribute your config, that’s a problem. But IMO one even the pro version couldn’t solve.

If it’s so easy to implement, go ahead and open a PR. The community will be thankful.

The apps are bundled completely differently on OSX and Linux. It’s technically not possible to do the same thing there. Also this is not a free/paid limitation at all.

They could maybe build a packaging tool that can customize the binaries (adding data to the PE executable in Windows and maybe a property file in OSX and Linux); but that’s quite some effort for not much gain.

They also document scripts to bootstrap clients on other OSses. And I don’t think you need Pro to build rustdesk yourself - they even document the process.

You joke, but I actually have a license key for WinRAR that I use with the native rar cli on my Linux machines.

Buy CrossOver for Linux. Positive side effect: you support Wine development.

… yet.

I don’t see where your problem comes from. It’s really simple: they wanted to target Mac, likely because that’s their preferred platform. So obviously they use the best fitting APIs for that purpose. Why would they develop a Linux or Windows application, if what they want is Mac? Nothing suspicious about that.
