  • 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.



  • 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 use Arm and Hammer Antiperspirant/deodorant. I have to skip showering for a full day to smell any funk and the deodorant part really doesn’t smell like anything.

    While I’m shilling, all their products are like that, well, the toothpaste, kitty litter and laundry soap anyway, don’t know what else they sell. Smells good, kinda neutral, works a charm, no gagging perfume, no overwhelming mint, no premium price tag. Did I mention their products get shit clean? If they enshittify, I’m throwing in the towel. Kinda like if Zippo enshittifies, punch me the fuck out.







  • 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!”




  • If the robot is tough enough for production they should have no fear of stripping the clothes off with a box knife. The whole scene was still pretty impressive, especially compared to last week’s Russia bot! 🤦🏻‍♂️

    But still, were I heading this project, I’d insist on toughness at this point in development. (Talking out my ass, looking to the end game, no idea where they’re at ATM.)



  • I get you! She’s extraordinarily beautiful, and not just in a blonde hair/blue eyes kinda way. I have an admiration for any man or woman who works hard to maximize their appearance. My wife is like that. She won’t win any beauty pageants, but she is as attractive as it’s possible to be for her. It’s fucking hard work and Swift could do nothing to be any more attractive.

    Turns out I like her music too! Kids listening to something, “That’s cool, who’s that?”

    But sexy? Maybe she’s too perfect? I like a woman that’s “off” in some way. Maybe a big nose, wide-spaced eyes, pouchy mouth, gimme some imperfections that stand out.
