I gotta travel with my twin more often. I can 50-50 unlock his stuff. Let’s fuck this up.

That’s why I’d love to see more developers take another look at Linux. Such that they may develop better proficiency in the basic katas of the internet. Such that they aren’t scared to connect a computer to the internet without the cover of a cloud.

I worked at a company building Unix. Later, it built a few releases of a Linux distro too. The people there were proficient documenters and app dev; build, release and support (escalation) devs; and some kernel devs so blindingly smart it made us normies’ tired just trying to keep up mentally.

Everyone used windows.

“Whot?!?” Yes, windows. Building Unix - the Unix - and a Linux distro, these super-capable black belts of the OS (borrowing your term) should be in Korn all day long.

Windows. WinAMP. VanDyke. Mozilla.

These people have the skill for it, but their preference was for windows. Because it was bad, but consistently so and presented a unified force to cope around.

I’ve worked on Linux my entire career, having used Linux since 94. But aside from a short window in 96, I’ve also done it with windows.

Windows. Spotify. Putty. SeaMonkey.

I didn’t see where the article was about capitalism. Did you comment the right post? It seems off-topic.

I say still use fedora; just don’t pay for it! \s

Very few employees.

Fewer by the day.

Does it use Systemd? If so, then we need something else.

Derive something from PCLinuxOS please, but with actual anaconda kick-starts.

It’s comically ironic that the author of that note thought the whistle-blower should apologize to the dirtbag for saying something.

If you don’t want people to be upset about your supporting genocide, then please consider not supporting genocide

IN THEORY, my day job will work to prevent an external organization from seeing and saving the Privacy-Possum data on our screens and preserve the PII of people who trust us.

In reality they’ll keep justifying the continued abuse by Shitty OS Daddy.

Honest question: what do people actually use this for?

My wife is on a course to learn (just enough) excel fancy tricks to do her job better. We all hate it. There was a formula misbehaving, and I described the error to a ChatGPT window. The window returned some recommendations to look at, and one of them was correct.

I use it to write ansible for me, since I never want to get good at it and I never want to do it beyond paid work. I would take up a serious pot habit if I could be assured of destroying only the brain cells that record my memory of doing ansible. I write my config management with tools that are decades more advanced, and those I want to learn and retain.

There’s so much wrong with this question.

• things people ‘must’ have are usually worthless junk like ‘dark mode’.
• updates people want in mainstream can sometimes break compatibility with no “just make it work” switch to disable the breakage. When this isn’t a red flag, that makes me sad and worried for the idiot in front of me.
• and then I’m no longer tolerant of the indolent writing error in the sentence.

Really, it’s a combination of all three of those things, and more, that prevent the incrementing of the one number in the git project that would invoke the package run and drop a new package in about 2 minutes. It’s so hard.

Like Russia on Ukraine, they don’t want the people; just the land.

another Geneva convention

I’m told that Israel may have violated the normal Geneva convention once or twice already (or more). If you believe the ICJ, anyway.

What will another Geneva convention do if the first one carries no penalty for violation?

happy to jump on the bandwagon of America, they just want someone else to go first

Like an engine that runs on FOMO?

When my nephew was young, it was impossible for him to go to bed on time. Just impossible! He tried nothing and it didn’t help! Please tell me that’s not what’s happening to the GDPR.

Everyone else will be able to trade

🇨🇦 Phew!

Dude. Find a security guy who knows about validation and supply chain risks. Tell that person those two phrases. Learning should commence if they’re any good.

Wow.

They were thinking mgmtconfig.

To summarize, “I have a POV that almost no one else has. Why is everyone not naming things the way I see them.”

Yes, pinocchio, your company is a real tech company because they use tech tools.

(sorry, it’s just a tech leveraging company, the same way my bus driver leverages the bus but does not fix or build it. My bus driver is not a bus; just the driver)
