Samsung excavator = Volvo excavator. Samsung is just relabeling the Volvos.

You can't do this on Linux anymore either. Unless you are on a way out of date system, you need to add the --no-preserce-root flag as well. And I think it still prompts you to make sure it is really want you want to do.

I mean, there is nothing stopping you from installing whatever version of the library that is required in tandem with the latest version. You could even put it somewhere other then a standard library location and start executing your binary with

LD=/my/old/library ./myoodbinary

and have it dynamically loaded at runtime.

The only time this doesn't work is when it is something in the kernel that breaks the binary... But you can run an older kernel that has back ported fixed.

I get where you are coming from with proprietary binarys that the devs have abandon. But to me that makes all the more reason not to run that software in the first place.

Edit: also the kobo desktop Windows app runs under wine I think...

Define old binary. The a.out and elf format haven't changed in a very long time. If you mean something from an old system with unmet dependencies, it will run, but it will crash and warn you that some library isn't found. It will still run up until that point tho.

My mother introduced me to the chieftains. This is the song I always think of when I hear Sinéad O'Connor mentioned. Her voice is just so pure and cutting... What is there not to love?

Garuda is beautiful. It is arch based using the original arch repos. It uses btrfs with automated snapshots which is pretty handy. It runs awesome on my two laptops.

First log out of lemmy.world. it's called remove account....kind of scary but it won't hurt. Turn close liftoff and go to system settings -> apps. Find liftoff and select storage and cache. In that menu select clear cache. Close the settings menu and go back into liftoff. Choose to add your account again and everything should be fixed... Or at least that fixed it for me.

Hyprland is a tiling compositor for wayland, so you use hotkeys to manage windows. It is akin to i3wm (or bspwm or awesomewm, etc) but for Wayland instead of xwindows. https://hyprland.org/

The end of the world seems to be coming sooner and sooner ad that means I won't have to work for 30 more years when I retire.

It's very nice looking. You should look at Garuda tho, it's default kde theme is very similar imo

We had these old ass everex (I think that was the brand) 386's that had an one line 8 character display on the front that would display what drive was being accessed and what sector/track it was on. It was pretty useless, until we found the memory address that held the buffer (80h if I remember correctly. We were dumb so we wrote a TSR in turbo pascal that are random times would scroll something like "this computer is about to blow up in 5...4...3...2...1...BOOM!".

I don't think anyone really cared as it was the secondary computer lab used by the programming club mainly, but we thought we were really bad ass.
