Test it under Wine. If it’s working, you’re good to go. Wine can’t make software misbehave in subtle ways. It works or it doesn’t.

111·1 month agoI wonder if the software you need for cars would run under Wine.
For years I kept one Windows laptop running only so I could use one proprietary app that I used occasionally when teaching. It was not ideal, but whatever. Then Windows started showing ads. on the desktop. that I was showing to my students! That I will not tolerate. So I poked around with Wine and found out I could run that app on my Mint laptop!
Goodbye forever TinyFlaccid. Go fuck yourself.

61·1 month agoI’ve struggled to find an epithet for MS that would really sum up my anger in a single epic childish insult. Problem is, they already surpassed anything I could come up with.
They are tiny and flaccid, and no one should pay them any mind.

43·2 months agoWhen a post is a link to an article, I would prefer that the post title match the article. Many news communities actually require that.
More importantly, the evil people running the petroleum industry are in fact old, but that is not why they are evil.
Evil people in positions of power tend to be old because a) it takes time to accumulate power, and b) folks with power tend to keep it till they’re dead. It’s just statistics - it doesn’t mean oldness causes evil.
Downvoted for ageism.
