You’re an idiot, go back to macOS you fucking normie

(/s, I’m also waiting for TPM encryption + user home encryption)

BO DU BU DUP DUP!

-gasm!

jk I don’t have any better ideas

Lmao good retort

Don’t be a gatekeeper, open computing is for everyone.

Especially in a terminal, it absolutely sounds like it to them.

A lot of users associate the terminal with “hacking” due to movies.

You haven’t worked directly with users in an IT setting and it shows. You greatly overestimate the average user’s technical abilities and ability to care.

I walked in on a user holding a power bar in one hand and the USB end of a mouse in the other while responding to a “mouse not working” ticket.

I’ve witnessed a user waving a wired desk phone around in the air to get better signal because they were complaining of poor call quality.

I visited a user who was panicking that their outlook messages were all getting deleted before their own eyes, not noticing that their monitor mounted on arms had fallen on their laptop’s delete key, holding it down.

I’ve seen how deep the rabbit hole of user inability goes. It’s not pretty.

Also don’t forget that most terminals paste on Ctrl + Shift + V by default, which is an extra hurdle they have to get over if they’re used to the standard paste shortcut. They won’t think to right-click to paste, and they’ll get frustrated and think the terminal is broken.

Removing an appendix is just a couple incisions and suturing.

This is what you and I sound like to the average computer user. Most kids don’t know what a file is.

And then eventually we’ll stop fixing it for that amount of money, pocket the difference and go “tough, pay more” if you want it fixed again.

Finally, I was wondering what was up with the lackluster secureboot support.

What they don’t understand is their own machine can get compromised, and in turn compromise their accesses and other infrastructure in a pivot attack.

Developers tend to have quite a lot of access, and some can even deploy to production. At my company, the dev workstations are even more locked down than the regular users’ computers for that reason, they can’t even leave the province.

Not for 2024, sorry.

My phone has 16 GB of RAM, 3 GB is ridiculous, especially with the modern web.

Quit edging me, I can only be so erect

Stop using AI to generate images. It’s obvious, it looks awful, and companies are genuinely looking to use it to stop having to pay human artists.

Based, but GitLab is GitHub’s primary competitor, which highlights how ridiculous it is that GitHub still has no IPv6

Yeah GitHub out there being silly

GitLab has IPv6

The new FTC’s job will be to void all regulations and dissolve itself because some South African got beef with it.

They did say 3D printers would change the world someday
