It used to not use Chromium at all.

I just use Boost for Lemmy. It doesn’t have that problem.

I have. I was making a reference, which is why I linked that video.

Huh. Never realized that. I’ve only ever heard Linux users call it CLI, so I just assumed it was what most Linux users called the Terminal. And I assumed Terminal was the generic name since Mac also has a Terminal app.

Also, side note: it’s called Terminal on Windows now, too. Windows unified their Powershell and Command Prompt programs into a single app (on the surface, at least). You can open either Powershell or Command Prompt using tabs in the app.

To be fair, Windows really hasn’t pushed Powershell all that much. They haven’t even fully ported over all of Command Prompt’s commands. You have to prefix those with .\ (I think; it’s been a while) in order to get them to run even though the error message that comes up if you don’t include that will tell you, “Hey, there’s a command named this. Prefix it with that to use it.”

Now, instead of simply porting everything over, they have one app (named Terminal) running both programs.

I think it’s the Linux equivalent of Windows Command Prompt.

Who’s Dewey?

I can’t remember the last time I got a DLL error on my Windows laptop, honestly. I don’t think that’s ever happened on my current computer.

So it’s Scoop, but for Linux? (That’s a compliment. I love Scoop.)

(I’m serious about this.)

You just have to use the side of your foot (like in soccer) instead of the front.

Any more details?

This sounds like the setup to a fun story.

If it was the second Tuesday of the month, probably updating.

I’d heard some hospitals were affected. They cancelled appointments and non-critical surgeries.

I’m guessing it was mostly their “behind the desk” computers that got affected, not the computers used to control the important stuff. The computers in patients’ rooms may have been affected as well, but (at least in the US) those are usually just used to record information about medicine given and other details about the patient, nothing critical that can’t be done manually.

But the computer is within leg’s reach.

Their computers may not be affected, but their everyday lives might be. Some of the affected services include 911, stoplights, banks, hospitals, and a whole other smorgasbord of stuff.

It wasn’t a virus definitions update. It was a driver update. The driver is used to identify and block threats incoming from wifi and wired internet.
