Who would have to know what? Foreign actors hardly require the administration’s permission to engage in propaganda.

Ran Linux as a daily driver, many versions, on and off, for 20-years. Over all, it’s a pain in the ass. Built several “little old lady” laptops for charity customers. Linux works a charm if all you need is FaceBook and email!

It amazes me that lemmy evangelizes Linux, then posts 100 comments about how this, that and the other Linux OS sucks, has security issues, how theirs is superior, and “why doesn’t my $peripheral work?” And the answers are always the same, "You just have to $directions.* I don’t need $directions for my shit to work on Windows.

Want to see how to collect angry downvotes? Visit a post talking about how Microsoft is doing some evil new thing or how they’ve broken a feature. Merely comment this:

“I don’t have that issue. Never seen it.”

No rebuttals, no nothing, just “fuck you for saying so”. Angry new atheists.

^ See what I mean? No one could possibly have issues with Firefox! You’re doing it wrong!

Active Directory is a monster. Got downvoted to hell the other day for saying there is nothing out there that comes close for managing a fleet of machines. Most of the idiot arguments revolved around thinking AD is fancy LDAP.

“Linux and Mac can do authentication!”

If one’s view of AD is that limited, we’re not having the same conversation. Cross connect AD with Powershell and Hyper-V, you have a robust ecosystem for enterprise. And there are zero issues with running headless Linux servers on Hyper-V.

I have an AR-15 and armor piercing green-tips. Weird enough, I only have the green tips because they were the cheapest option at the time. At 100’ they drill press a perfect hole in 1/4" steel.

They’re gonna fuck local cats, make hybrids until they’re regular house cats again. Not seeing the point?

I could make that exact comment on every single post in here.

“I’m SPECIAL! I’m NEURODIVERGENT!”

Home wrecker!

OP’s making a guess, presenting an example of something weird we hadn’t considered. Fair play. Y’all are far too literal in your reading skills.

What he’s saying makes sense, just don’t take it 100% literally. See my reply to him. I get where he’s coming from.

More digestible way of saying what you’re saying:

We’ve learned much. The way we treat pregnant woman has changed. We’re much more conservative as to what we prescribe or condone.

Maybe some odd factor we haven’t thought of changed? What if that factor/behavior changed the infant’s immune system? What if we quit doing that thing and the issue has self-corrected, but we haven’t put 2 and 2 together?

Yes, our biology is the most complex thing I know of. We just have to keep moving forward with what we know. Sorry everyone is treating you like an antivaxxer.

being less exposed to dirt and being subjected to over-cleanliness

I’ve read talk of this over the years. Anything definitive ever come out? Makes all the sense in thw world to me.

None of this shit every happens to me. But I’m sure lemmy will insist that it does. 🤷🏻

IT’S ALL BROKEN, ALL OF IT!"

Lemmy eats this shit up, feeds their Linux-superiority complex, like a bunch a teenage atheists who just figured out god isn’t real and needs to tell everyone what idiots they are.

If you are wondering, provisioning essentially is the way admins configure devices as they automatically deploy various settings and policies on a client PC.

This is a thing us sysadmins should be aware of. And that’s the end of the fucking story.

Lemmy, through gritted teeth, “NAOWW! Your Windows install SUCKS!”

“Mine doesn’t have any of the issues I read about on lemmy.”

GET. BENT.

No lie. Every time I’ve merely mentioned that I’m not having the issues we’re raging about, downvoted, not one single reply. I’ll get downvoted on this comment, no one will have a single rebuttal. Watch.

Then they’ll hop over to other groups to trash on various Linux distros, “how do I get my video working?”, “why is this a total clusterfuck?”, and so on.

Same people talked me into switching to Firefox. What a fucking mess. I was on Edge the other day thinking, “Wow, internet is working exceptionally well today! Oh, forgot to switch back to the superior browser.”

And these same people tell me several times a day to switch to Linux. Been there, done that, many times over the last 20-years. Headless Linux for servers? Only way to fly. Desktop? “Well, you can’t use all your peripherals, and you’ll have to navigate janky versions of the software you’re used to, but it’s better!”

I have zero issues with Win11, but if I state that, lemmy tells me to go fuck myself.

Logan’s Run vibes now that you mention it!

My wife is fighting for her 10-year green card right now. It’s a fucking nightmare.

LOL, see my comment! That’s exactly what will happen. Some of the small-time landlords will do the right thing, but this is free money to the soulless corporate home owners.

Small business and franchises will be unable to afford more employees. Lemmy thinks these business owners are all rich. No, they can’t just hire more people.

Dug around one night looking at McDonald’s and franchising. You can expect a meager $50K your first year, $90K after that. No way in hell I’m putting in the hours and hassle of running a business, with a couple of dozen employees to care for, when I was making $83K sitting at home playing sysadmin. BTW, that $90K doesn’t include accounting and payroll, you on your own.

Min wage here is $15, so the employer cost is likely around $22. Even if the owner takes $0 pay, they could hire a whopping 2 employees.

Landlords will jack the rates knowing that their renters will make more and more money. This law funnels money from Main Street to corporate landlords. They’re punishing the good guys, incentivizing the bad guys, and minimum wage employees get squeezed from both ends.

SOURCE: Was a sysadmin for a payroll firm and was deeply involved in all aspects of the business. Most of our clients were not well off and paid minimum wage or close enough.

EDIT: Forgot to add; This is a revenue neutral law for the city. If they want more housing that’s money out of the budget or tax incentives to builders, so less budget next year. Probably worth the temporary lower budget to get the community thriving and able to pay taxes. No idea on all that. 🤷🏻
