TikTok? A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

I have a triple boot setup. Every OS sucks so why not?

It doesn't hurt to have intact alternate OS's ready to go.

I might only use one Linux regularly but there's a devuan and a vanilla windows (+patches from ~1 year/6mo. ago) - it's really no big deal leaving them be. It's just disk space.

windows will probably get nuked soon cause it's on a gen4 NVME - not using that is a waste.

I did mean Wiz. I guess my brain just substituted that. I guess I'm at least familiar with the Wix name in that I saw ads all over the net ~a decade ago?

It is indeed. Thank you.

I very much doubt that. This as a phase doesn't even seem to exist online till today, even much less as an idiom, telling me the equivalent of "just google" for someone specific's thinking is entirely unhelpful.

I wasn't interested in what ChatGPT can hallucinate or even output. I was after Voloskaya's context, Voloskaya would be the one to provide this insight, which is who I chose to ask for that.

Not even knowing about Wix until today, I had no idea what to make of it, I wasn't trying to be snarky with that comment.

I was actually interested to know what they meant because it sounds like saying: "let's take a walk down to the top of the highest mountain".

Meteorites crash & burn, honestly, what is a "meteoritic rise"?

> Using proper quotation marks and apostrophes today is easier than you’d think.

Proceeds to demonstrate, no, it really isn't - it's exactly how we thought.

Reality is: it truly and utterly does not matter. It's significantly slower to type and so will naturally lose every time. We're talking milli or micro oseconds vs maybe a minute or more to dig out the codepages, copy, paste or get the glyph, check the utf code, insert it by key combination. For every word with a quote or punctuation.

Yeah. Right. I'm not doing that.

Get over it.

I use my Samsung SyncMaster 245B as my daily driver - it's almost old enough to drive!
