Yeah, it’s pretty funny considering how absurd it is.

You don’t need rounded wings to fly though and how are (some) planes able to fly upside down if that is the main explanation of lift?

It starts fairly close to the sea but takes an enormous detour to get there.

(Yeah I know that the geography probably doesn’t allow the river to go anywhere else. It’s a joke.)

Yes of course but recording a private conversation has been legal before and I couldn’t find any good indications that it has changed under the GDPR.

The law essentially says that it’s illegal to record or listen to private conversations which you aren’t a part of using technical instruments.

So it’s legal to press your ear against a wall but it’s illegal to use any tech to listen/record to anything.

Project wingman and the Ace combat series is great!

Yeah it varies. In my country you only need to participate in the conversation to be allowed to record it.

You can also film or photograph anyone you feel like in public as long as they aren’t in a place where privacy is expected like a bathroom or something like that. In general you can record and upload all day long.

The law is much stricter on surveillance cameras.

Is this thread really about women’s rights though?

It’s more of a meta thread about the issue the comic brings up, it’s about how some men switch the topic around. If the comic was intended to focus entirely on women’s rights it would end at the first image

why would he take his glove off to wipe?

Because it’s easier to wipe without a glove and it’s easier to wash your hands?

No!

Why is it a good thing that people can’t enjoy the games they like on Linux?

Last two? I have only seen minus one. What is the other one?

Yeah, just like in the movies when Gandalf said “Fly you fools!” He didn’t mean that they literally should fly away.

I mean it’s also pretty cold without pants.

FYI with many routers, switches, and firewalls there are ways to automatically rollback changes in case the device is unreachable after applying them. Usually the command is called something like “Rollback”.

You usually supply a time limit when you run the command and if you don’t confirm the changes before that time limit it will rollback. So if you run rollback 30 and then do something which breaks the network connection, the config will rollback in 30 seconds. If it does work, you simply cancel the rollback.

The reason that most companies don’t want you to do that is because they don’t want people running around installing their own OS and doing whatever they feel like on company devices.

Letting people do that would be an IT and information security nightmare.

It’s the same reason that no (sane) company would give local admin privileges to everyone.

The reason why companies generally don’t have an official way to use Linux is because it’s hard to support two platforms simultaneously. Especially when you have, certificate and/or AD network authentication for wireless and wired like we do. You also need to consider how the two platforms should interact with each other. For example Linux devices should be able to connect to the AD domain with Kerberos and need to be able to access SMB shares and probably other systems.

In short it’s more complicated than “just let me try”.

I am a Windows admin but two of my colleagues who are Linux admins use Linux machines that are running Ubuntu+a few internal tweaks to make it better fit us. The Linux platform is developed primarily by one of the developers at the company and some others (primarily developers) also use Linux. The vast majority of the company uses Windows.

There are also a few hundred Macs.

I have been considering getting our flavour of Linux installed on a VM or maybe even dual booting for testing.

What the hell are you talking about‽

I just wanted to know if trump has made some more stupid statements. I had just not heard of any attacks on artists and wanted to know more.

Yeah, I know. I asked about artists though.

Is trump planning to round up artists?
