@mjg59 nobody hates vendor specific drivers more than Microsoft!

@b0rk all terminals do click & drag to select text but my favorite feature is right click while dragging to toggle between line & block selection.

@siracusa @b0rk The gitlens extension for vscode has the "File History View" which kinda gives you this. https://help.gitkraken.com/gitlens/side-bar/#file-history-view

@mjg59 There is another alternative where Linux supports a driver ABI that is stable between kernel releases. Like Windows does. This has a set of different problems, but it is an alternative. You could say ACPI is that ABI.

@dosnostalgic You would have loved the old Windows NT bootloader which let you boot multiple different versions of the OS out of different subdirectories. (e.g. C:\NT3.1, C:\NT35, C:\NTbeta, etc)

@danluu I had a CS professor at Virginia Tech who trolled me just because he was annoyed that I had a 105% average in his Operating Systems class (despite rarely attending) and singlehandedly cost VT every dime I might have contributed. Petty beef is real.

@Pwnallthethings Sounds like they could really use the help of a superintelligent AI to oversee all the different government organizations.

@danluu Testing is only one side of the problem - if they're not willing to do the bare minimum to test, they're certainly not going to invest engineering to FIX anything. And if you're not going to FIX it, why bother testing it?
