The number shown is how many posts or comments your instance is aware of. If your number is smaller than the real one, it means that there's content that doesn't exist on your instance.

The missing content is either:

• Old: The account is like 3 or 4 years older tham your instance. Old content doesn't get federated unless someone deliberately asks for it.
• Posted in communities that no one at your instance has subscribed to them yet. This stuff also doesn't get auto-federated.

I'm sure counter strike would be a decent option

I was vaguely aware that some ancient architectures had weird byte widths, but I did not know about this. Pretty interesting.

This paper cannot succeed without mentioning the PDP-10 (though noting that PDP-11 has 8-bit bytes), and the fact that some DSPs have 24-bit or 32-bit words treated as "bytes." These architectures made sense in their era, where word sizes varied and the notion of a byte wasn’t standardized. Today, nearly every general-purpose and embedded system adheres to the 8-bit byte model. The question isn’t whether there are still architectures where bytes aren’t 8-bits (there are!) but whether these care about modern C++... and whether modern C++ cares about them.

The file is named Cargo.toml. Whatever dependencies you add to there are automatically downloaded by Cargo. You can manage them with cargo add and cargo remove.

cargo install is not the same thing. That installs binaries. I last installed cargo-release to automate the annoying part of managing git tags and crate version number.

I censored the url.

Yeah, I saw that one. Actually kind of a smart idea as many people will surely blindly press the keys as instructed.

It's a fake website

Figured as much. So it's ad spamming that they're going for.

Hey that looks nice at a glance. Will check it out!

Initially installing them wasn't a problem anyway, but rather the driver breaking. It feels good to trust the laptop a again.

It would help if you got the model right, and an exact one at that. As the others said, "iMac" isn't a mac laptop, but an AIO desktop.

From the thread I gather you have some model of MacBook Air, that looks like this:

I run linux on one of these. Everything worked out of the box, except for wireless. See my 2-part adventure for how I solved it.

Mac "bios" isn't exactly how you'd expect from PCs. Hold down alt key during startup to enter boot menu, and you're good to go.

If your family member was a mac user before, they might be most comfortable on Gnome, as it has aped many ui features from mac os. It has a similar dock, fluid trackpad-friendly navigation that works the same way, and more.

I'm fine with python, because it's consistent. In C I get nervous every time I see it.

Hi, I'd just like to join the club.
