  • I'm pretty sure that if you use elevated privileges to run commands you don't understand, you can break Windows just as much as you can break Linux.

    I can confirm.

    Source: I learned most of what I know about computers (which is genuinely quite a lot), by doing dumbass stupid stuff I didn't understand yet.

  • Awesome. I look forward to it! Thanks.

  • Time will tell.

    Yeah. And with luck, it'll be only after lots more fires burn up these ugly cars that symbolize billionaires living without consequences.

    Really, we all win, on this one.

  • Same. It was a great day, and their alibi is rock solid.

  • And if anyone saw any evidence to the contrary... No we didn't.

  • Lemmy, what is your "I'm calling it now" prediction for the next 10 years?

  • Your answer is my favorite.

  • The big thing that changed side 2010 is that most distros are perfectly usable on most hardware.

    I keep tossing Linux onto random stupid hardware I have lying around, and lately it just goes spectacularly well.

    I should be ashamed of even asking if Linux will run on it, but Linux ends up running well on it.

    Around 2010, I used to tell people that if they did their research and used Mint, for simple web stuff, they're going to be fine.

    Lately I end up telling people "I don't know how to do that advanced thing you're debating which Windows product to pay for, because, of the last three random Linux distros I tried, all thee provided it for free and pre-configured with sensible defaults".

    I'm sure there's still plenty of interesting reasons to need a paid operating system. But for the simple practical stuff, I find Linux so much easier, even on my random poorly researched distros and hardware combinations.

    I might well have just had an incredibly lucky streak, of course.

  • Fuck. Pulling dissident voices off of college campuses is never something to celebrate.

  • Preferring that we enforce our laws regardless of which billionaire benefits is a vote for Trump? I didn't realize that. I've seen the light now. Thank you.

  • This is the single worst possible time to try and push this through.

    Which is why it's happening now, I agree.

    But we, the non-billionaires are still better off after any monopoly split. It's hard to express how incredibly bad powerful monopolies are. The fact that another billionaire will be the buyer sucks, but it's no reason to back away from forcing the legally required split.

  • We can't continue selectively enforcing our laws against monopolies. (This is just dark humor. Citizens United is for the express purpose of ensuring that any anti-monopoly law enforcement we get is selective and political, for the rest of however long the US has left.)

    No stupid questions removes post asking "why is authoritarianism bad?"

  • I've seen things on the Fediverse removed for trolling. I'm inclined to assume that's what happened here.

    Edit: Yep. Nothing to see here, folks. OPs post history has substantial rude interactions and bad faith arguing.

  • What are things that mildly annoy you in SciFi?

    Jump

  • Yeah. The Cardassian cases are the most headache-inducing. My mind-canon for those is just "Gul Dukat thought it would be funny."

    Edit: With an occasional splash of "Garak the Simple Tailor messed with the system and no one was willing to admit they didn't know how to fix it." Which doesn't hold up on DS9, where Odo would have, but works for various Cardassian locations.

  • "unexpected" and "over pay" in the same reporting sentence, lol.

    Who could have possibly guessed that paying a fair wage was necessary to keep business running reliably? (This is sarcasm.)

    Lol. It's only covered in just about every book one finds in the required reading to obtain a Masters In Business Administration degree.

    But I guess we're still going with "unexpected".
