I thought WSL2 had a few specific advantages over WSL1, something about disk writes and/or Docker? But yeah, WSL1 was such a cool concept. My understanding is they implemented all the syscalls and API in it so it's basically native.

I tried to use them, as I do most tools like that. On Windows I have always stuck with the MSYS environment that Git for Windows gives you. It's easy enough to work with and has most everything I care about. Plus it's easy to set up. With wsl it's more like a separate thing, it wasn't as easy to run in place. A lot of times I still used batch or powershell scripts so it wasn't totally bash. Like Docker is easier to use from not bash in Windows because the syntax is so wonky.

But now I don't use Windows at all.

Not to sound like a Steam simp, but they put a lot of faith in Steam Guard. Gabe Newell shared his password. This is old information and he may have changed it, also I don't know if there were problems. https://www.escapistmagazine.com/gabe-newell-gives-away-personal-steam-password/

It's not a good comparison, but it is funny to talk about. The founder of LifeLock trusted his product so much that he put his SSN on billboards and television ads. His identity was stolen 13 times. https://www.wired.com/2010/05/lifelock-identity-theft/

There was HBO Go and HBO Now before HBO Max. Also just HBO via television. Truly a hell scape.

Paid employees of Reddit (admins) almost certainly have better tools available than moderators.

For admins? Surely.

I nearly joined Beehaw when I first joined but I'm really glad I didn't in hindsight.

If instance A stops existing, instance B doesn't have any specific knowledge of that versus it no longer federating. Existing posts and comments will stay. My instance is no longer federated with some, but I still see the communities from them.

How do you not know? Do your due diligence lol.

I think I only call it Max instead of HBO or HBO Max less than 25% of the time. This rebrand was goofy. Still not as bad as Twitter's.

One of my biggest gripes about the fediverse (and honestly any online community) is people making increasingly niche places to discuss things before there is a need to split things due to size. I'd post that to something like a general hobbies group. I'd also say mods need to be less strict about what is and isn't on-topic while there isn't much traffic in their communities.

Geoguesser is way too proud of their product to be charging money for it.

Ah okay, thanks. I'm too scared to mess with most hardware so not always up to date on the terminology. My tinkering is exclusively desktop/laptop stuff.
