I had a typo. I meant "apart from the one with Git"

MSYS2 is odd, I could never figure out how to set it up a sort from the one with Git. When I was more of a power user I used Cygwin. Babun is cool but unmaintained last I remember, and is just Cygwin with some enhancements.
As much shit as MS gets (and rightfully so) around 2019 they began turning their reputation around for dev stuff. They've lost all that good will though.
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.
This was what I understood stamets to mean as well. I thought it was pretty obvious. I had the same thought opening it. Still cool though.
