I remember being excited for pc gamer to show up in the mail

💯 they’re not outnumbered, they’re less organized.

Yes! This is it, so let’s all work together to make it a good one for each other.

A much much larger proportion of users are computer illiterate, especially federal employees. On top of that, the vast majority of basic software applications used are the Microsoft suite of Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. How do you

1. Retrain an aging workforce to use a new OS.
2. Retrain to use new software suite for email, docs, etc.
3. Or rebuild existing software to run on Linux
4. …there’s more but I’m short on time…

The ENTIRE US govt runs on Microsoft. That’s a very big pie to rebake. Where do you even begin. I do agree with you, it just feels unsurmountable.

It was an aside joke, you Muppet. Dumping the potential deaths of millions on a random commenter trying to be facetious so you feel publicly superior is psychotic. Or am I also misunderstanding your intention and publicly displaying my superior observation for clout. It’s ingratiating to be told what your intentions are what you should or should not do. Infuriating to be lectured to about what is right and wrong. We are not arbiters of online moral behavior. How about we both try to not be jerks to people we’ve never met from now on. Oh wait, I just was. Talking to each other this way doesn’t feel good.

Thank you for the fact check

I’ve entertained the idea of traveling around to grift the grifters, but selling trump swag back to trumpers sounded too easy to be legal.

What a beautiful list, thank you. Oh look who made the list!

Rich people, and politicians, don’t go to jail in America.

No need to load the chamber, they’ll do it for you

I both agree and disagree. I think of them as golems. They do understand how to respond, but that’s as deep as it goes. It’s simulated understanding, but a very very good simulation… Okay maybe I do agree.

Some days I’m just an autocomplete

Fair point

I used the term loosely to include the average “YouTuber”, a term I hadn’t thought of. I tend not to watch any of them.

I had never heard of her. I do not watch influencer videos. I do not like influencer videos and suspect I would not like them personally. The 4 hour long runtime clearly indicated I would not be watching it.

I am now a subscriber and big fan of her work!

The cascade of bad decisions by Disney was so enjoyable to hear about and her experience with ‘Disney magic’ was so very relateble. I too have been placed behind inexplicably large columns, felt the arbitrariness of the ‘experiencing the magic’, and spent far too much money for the privilege of standing in sweaty lines in the Florida heat.

I feel bad for the people involved that really wanted to make something great but were crushed under the weight of corporate ineptitude. I personally knew someone who went, refused to say how much they paid, and refused to talk about their experience. Now I know why. Excellent video. She’s like the NeverKnowsBest of theme parks.

To remind you that this is it, so make it a good one

Thank you for such an amazing response. You’ve given me so many great threads to pull on. I’m going to have a great time diving into all this. Sincere thank you.

I want to turn a Microsoft surface go 2 into a kali linux machine. I would appreciate any guidance pulling this off. I want use it for learning it security stuff, partly for work but mostly for curiosity. Occasionally I run across malware, trojans, and I want to look under the hood to see how they work. I’m assuming Kali is the best tool for the job and that Lemmy is the place to go for tooling around with tools.

A lot of Germans speak English, depending on the region. Also, I’ve found that some job postings tend to over state their standards, in other words, please consider my Duolingo subscription when reviewing my application.
