I've run into bizarre behavior with windows command lines plenty of times before, but I'd never put all the pieces together and realized that:

a) windows really does pass around unadorned monolithic strings containing the entire command line of an executed command, and

b) there's no parsing standard for command lines in windows

sigh, windows

I see we've hit the first E: Embrace. I'm betting it'll only be a few months until they're Extending the protocol. Any wagers on how long until we hit Extinguish? 3 years maybe?

Need someone who knows more about EU law to chime in here: does this mean valve et al will be forced to implement a way for users to resell/transfer games to other users?

At this point, me run out of alternatives worth trying. Just signed up for a lemmy instance today, and liking what I'm seeing so far (even if communities are quite a lot smaller than I'm used to at the moment), but there are other sites that might scratch the reddit itch that I'll try even if the fediverse stuff doesn't take off. Reddit has shown that that they're a) greedy, and b) incompetent at being greedy. And I'm not going to contribute to them again until I'm well and truly out of other options.
