Average sysadmin origin, thank you for your service

By looking up pirate primary sources that are behind paywalls. I said, sources are paywalled, go look it up.

The majority of new Linux users are buying Chromebooks or other devices with it prebuilt

Sorry, sources are all paywalled.

Sales in these devices are up, while PCs are stagnant. Go look

My workplace barely groks opportunity cost on their main product, and I’m not responsible for the IT. When it breaks constantly, I say “yeah we know it breaks like this, get them to fix it.”

Not my circus, I just stamp the tickets.

Chromebook/ tablet people mostly.

The most likely users for Linux desktop, don’t need a tower. Storage and computing are compact enough.

The heavy compute workload people have a lot of history of how and what they use, they need to explore their own migration path.

What do you use for video calls with screen share?

My coop uses teams and I want to move them off it.

So now my clients will have a harder time engaging with my product. Great.

It will be funny if they try, because plenty of presentation setups will break

pass by phone

That’s a ticket I would go and overnight mail a pre configured IP KVM

You are wrong on the point that essential decisions can be made without history. You don’t know the first thing about what knowledge actually is, and I asked you that because I didn’t think you could answer and it confirmed for me that you are uneducated.

You didn’t do the barest minimum of work on this, your opinion is uneducated and you are being disrespectful.

Can? How? Go read any intro book on epistemology. You are talking out of your ass and it’s disrespectful to everyone that actually takes knowledge and human progress seriously.

Nah. Define your axioms like I said. If you won’t, you can’t.

You apparently have no idea

Define “tainted”, “wrong”(your word I never used that word) and how the context of history is not required to detect such things.

Define what we know in a way that doesn’t have a historical basis.

That’s a very uneducated take, and shows that you don’t understand how access to information can be changed, and modeled to elicit certain outcomes.

Alright, thanks for confirming my opinion.

Things don’t happen that way. “Can, may, could” means that there will be pockets of people that don’t subscribe to the ideology and undermine it.

That “could” is doing a lot of work for that premise. We are currently structured as an amalgam of disparate chains of systems interacting with each other in loosely defined ways.

If you want to take the ability of sovereign entities to self determine, then sure we “could” organize in this other way.

But we don’t have a god emperor of earth, so we will need to rely on this loose consensus instead of a dictated one.

Wikipedia citing sources is exactly what keeps it accurate. Conflicting primary sources are both considered, and the discrepancies discussed.
