Why were you trying to build it? You can find both ““stable”” and nightly releases on ReactOS website.
- Comment on The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source. 2 weeks ago:
Wait, Windows still has POSIX subsystem or is it only listed for documentation reasons (it was there at least in old NT days)?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
As for posting stuff on the internet, I don’t care anymore. I just try to not post stupid shit, and be decent to other people.
- Comment on Is there a community dedicated for serious discussion? 2 weeks ago:
Tildes. And maybe Hacker News.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 weeks ago:
Pokemon MMO’s are the entire different thing. I am not 100% sure how they developed them, but they seem to be just reimplementations of original game mechanics, but while reusing original assets.
And yet I don’t understand why you say they are not taken down by Nintendo. Couple of them were already closed down because of copyright infringement, and they make big news about that.
- Comment on There are people who are still using toilet paper purchased during the pandemic. 2 weeks ago:
That’s seems reasonable to me. It’s 6 per one person in 2 weeks. There are times where I think I’d use more, lol.
- Comment on Japan moves to ban Google, Apple from blocking app store competitors 2 weeks ago:
That’s hardly a bad thing unless you can’t use the most common way (e.g. paying by credit/debit card) in shops.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 weeks ago:
They will eventually be all taken down. That’s the point. They have no legal framework to exist, and Nintendo could strike any time they want, like Rockstar did with the re3 project.
They also have valid reasons to think that these projects are causing them to lose money, since they give alternative (and technically better) solutions to play their old games, without buying any Nintendo hardware or software (unless you dump your games, but let’s be honest. You don’t).
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 weeks ago:
Exactly. But somehow I got downvoted heavily for saying the obvious.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 weeks ago:
No one says that the actual source code (C or whatever) is “piped out”. The machine instructions (in form of a binary) you get is the code that is executed by the machine/emulator and it’s copyrighted like any other data on the disc/cartridge. You are not writing the game yourself if you are decompiling it. And it’s logically a derivative work.
I don’t understand what kind of mental gymnastics you need to do to think that you are doing something original here.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 weeks ago:
The code itself is also copyrighted. Decompiled code is a derivative work.
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 weeks ago:
I won’t say if that project is legal or not, but expect it (and many others) to be taken down by Nintendo soon. Make a local copy if you want to preserve it.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 2 weeks ago:
I see that Fedora uses Btrfs, so it should be able to take file system snapshots, which are sort of an alternative to the immutable thing, isn’t it?

- Comment on Search GTA 6 Requirements 3 weeks ago:
There’s a reason why modern browsers have multiple processes. Each tab and extension is sandboxed for stability and security reasons.
Also Firefox tends to use similar amount of RAM as Chrome, and it’s silly that it’s only Chrome is being making fun of.
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 3 weeks ago:
Huh, that’s a pretty good idea. I already have a Raspberry Pi setup at home, and it wouldn’t be hard to duplicate.
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t 🙃
- Comment on I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing 4 weeks ago:
I remember having 10 inch netbook. It was okay for a while, but I would never want to go back to 10 inch display on a laptop. It’s just horrible to use. 13 inches is ideal for me =)
- Comment on You could get anything you wanted and it was FREE 4 weeks ago:
I have never used Limewire, but if they had distributed binaries that you should pay for, it is a copyright infringement, even if you could technically compile it yourself. There are applications that do this and it’s compatible with GPL license.

I didn’t expect Windows to become THAT shit. Well it’s good for Linux I guess.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 release date now set for September 12, plus a new trailer and deep dive are out 4 weeks ago:
What do you mean? Borderlands 3 were amazing.

GBA SP here.

I don’t know what half of these means.
- Comment on YouTube says goodbye to decade-old video player UI, but users hate the new design 5 weeks ago:
At least it’s not covered by a dark shade now.
Why does that matter? It looked fine.

Looks like UI from like 2005 lol.

- Comment on Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it 5 weeks ago:
We live in weird age, where using Windows is becoming harder than Linux (even though it has its own issues).
- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 5 weeks ago:
Why not put it in VM?
The only thing I’d suggest if you do that is to have at least 32 GB of RAM, because I was in a situations where running few Electron apps, and Win11 VM caused RAM to fill up. But if you’re not running Electron apps you should be fine with 16 GB.
And if you’re planning to game, you could use GPU passthrough, but from what I’ve heard it’s a bit hard to set up.

You know what gives me stress? Websites that reinvent scrolling.
- Comment on There’s AI Inside Windows Paint and Notepad Now 1 month ago:
In my house 3 computers are already running Linux (Raspbian on Raspberry Pi, Debian testing on my PC and openSUSE on a family laptop), and I already talked with my dad to install Linux on his personal laptop as well, which is probably going to be Linux Mint (I am planning to replace openSUSE on other laptop with Linux Mint as well, because openSUSE sucks).
