Sounds like a military thing? Not a normal US civilian worker phrase.

just because its not as far-gone as Google

The fact that the Mozilla Foundation is non-profit, despite wherever controversy there may be around their decisions of late, is a pretty significant factor.

But if I edit the word doc in notepad and rip out some of the metadata to corrupt it, I can submit it now and have another week to procrastinate before actually starting.

You wouldn’t believe it. I was just walking along when suddenly I tripped and my camera just fell out of my bag into my hands and the lens cap also came off and it turned itself on and I was fumbling around and the viewfinder just landed on my eye and my finger slipped right past the shutter button, it was so close! But that’s when I realized it just happened to be in focus and lined up with this landscape, what an incredible confidence, so I took the picture.

Client: “How much is this disaster recovery plan going to cost me?”

Me: “A hell of a lot less than when you don’t have (valid, tested) backups and need them”

Neither did the bird.

I, too, have had the audacity to say WSL is useful on this community and it was also met with down votes. Purists hating and gate keeping, and then they wonder why Linux isn’t more popular.

Customer: Why is there so much latency over my tunnel from us-east to us-west?

Me: checks latency seems pretty normal, what’s the issue?

Customer: The latency is too much. Why is it not as fast as us-east-1 to us-east-2?

Me: They are near each other. Us-West is across the entire United States

Customer: Make faster

Me: This is the speed of light. And over copper it’s about 2/3 that

Customer: hmm are you sure that’s as fast as it can go?

Me: Well, unless we change the laws of physics your not going to get any better latency

OSX offers both case sensitive and case insensitive filesystems

Yes, so they could discriminate her based on her looks sooner?

That’s what stuck out to you, not her face looking like a Sim?

For the ‘average’ user you’re suggesting to be helping none of these are remotely difficult to address…

“I’m confused about antivirus,” Windows handles it

“I keep forgetting to check on updates for the program I use so much,” The apps you use will ask to update when you use them

“I’m unsure if I’m on the correct site to download an exe file from,” The website for the application

“I keep getting ads in my taskbar,” Disabled in literally 3 seconds at install and never think about it again (yeah it’s dumb it happens at all, fine)

“I was going to find a different browser to use but my computer dissuaded me from doing so,” getfirefox.com. install & run. Click set default browser when it pops up.

If you can’t answer a simple one sentence answer to an easy question I don’t think it’s Windows fault. I say this as somehow who has helped tech illiterate people of all sorts on Windows, Linux, and Unix systems over the past 25+ years.

there is no such thing as a distinction between “democracy” and “authoritarian”.

Lol. Ok.

I never said anything about you praising authoritarian leaders, that’s the picture you’re painting in your head. Whether or not you’re praising them, I think ‘supreme leader’ encompasses the definition:

“leaders behavior that asserts absolute authority and control over subordinates and [that] demands unquestionable obedience from subordinates.”

Unquestionable obedience. Like a master and a slave. Like a dog.

‘Tankie’ is often associated with Marxist-Leninists.

Taken from the ‘communism’ wiki page,

Communists often seek a voluntary state of self-governance but disagree on the means to this end. This reflects a distinction between a more libertarian approach of communization, revolutionary spontaneity, and workers’ self-management, and a more authoritarian vanguardist or communist party-driven approach through the development of a socialist state followed by the withering away of the state.

Would you look at that. Authoritarian approach. The root of disagreement among communist.

The age old tradition of cultural appropriation.

Would you prefer Authoritarian Left instead? Because authoritarian is authoritarian is authoritarian. Left or right fuck off with your supreme leader bullshit.
