Those homophones have reeked havoc for too long!

Dolphin does have dual pane and can do things like FTP but Krusader has much more keyboard control, more advanced filtering, can use root, is much better at comparing files, and other things I'm sure I'm forgetting.

I'm not familiar with Directory Opus but try Krusader (sort of a spiritual successor to Norton Commander)

I'm sure all those enterprise clients are positively champing at the bit to switch to Linux 🙄 Can I have a conversation about computers here without it being about Linux? And I say this as somebody who uses Linux full-time on all their computers.

includes a much broader library of softwate than Microsoft has ever maintained.

This is true, but isn't what I was referring to. The problem MS are facing is not what they themselves have built, but the huge number of apps that other businesses have built over the years which prevent MS from rewriting or deprecating many parts of the bloated zombie that is now Windows.

All software is either shit to begin with or becomes shit when it gets big enough. If a Linux distro were forced to maintain as much legacy cruft as Windows it would be shit too.

Nah, it'll be the usual crypto and supplement scams that already pollute Twitter, Truth Social, etc.

They do know how to monetize it. API access generated $1Billion in 2023.

And all that $1B revenue cost them was a $5B loss! https://www.wheresyoured.at/howmuchmoney/

Per the Reuters article they already have a test reactor but, like everybody else, haven't figured out how to produce more electricity than it consumes. I'm not sure why they're jumping ahead to building a new facility when they don't yet have a working product, but I hope it isn't just to collect subsidies.

I want to believe

Their website is offline (must be getting hammed by traffic) but here's a Reuters article: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/helion-energy-starts-construction-nuclear-fusion-plant-power-microsoft-data-2025-07-30/

Lemmy is more like Reddit than Substack. Ghost would be the Substack equivalent.

You'd think that of all people, white supremacists would applaud anything that prevents their skin from getting darker.
