Still no answer on how to manage such a fleet except, “Trust me! I did it!” C’mon.

My whole area is like this. City and county services across the street from one another. Pensacola? :)

We have two trash services in competition. 🤷🏻 Wasteful, I know, but the competition keeps prices down and service up. Never had such solid trash service. :)

Not it you want something impactful. Creativity and editing are tough to pack into 7 seconds.

Made a typo smartass, and you know it. 70/30.

Now tell us all how smart you really are. Tell us how to manage a fleet of Linux or Mac machines, or even a mixed environment. One reason I passed an interview was with this very question! Go.

Identity management is only one aspect of AD. Very telling that all these rebuttals are thinking only in terms of what LDAP can handle.

I would love an explanation of how AD can control Linux machines! Can I reset you Linux password over AD? Can I lock you out of using removable media? How the hell do GPOs work?!

AD isn’t simply authentication, grouping computers and users. LDAP does all that.

My last company was a software dev and even they were only 70/40 Windows/Mac.

Yes, seems lots of European agencies are moving to FOSS, but more towards open office solutions. Moving to Linux for the OS makes fleet management pure hell. I know LDAP exists, but that doesn’t begin to compare to AD.

I like that the 7 second limit forces creativity. We shall see where this goes. Bet uploaded videos just get posted to more popular sites.

Doesn’t matter much what users do. Corporations are nowhere close to ditching Windows.

No way to manage a fleet of Linux or Mac machines. Nothing comes close to the power of Active Directory and a bit of PowerShell.

Funny enough, I guarantee there will be GPOs and PS commandlets that let you disable the AI bullshit.

EDIT: Apparently I’m addressing a crowd who has never managed a fleet. I’ll bow to your expertise.

They are, uh, agreeing with you.

Free Photoshop in a browser. Some modest ads, nothing intrusive. Ublock is stopping those for now. I’d be glad to pay for such fine software, maybe I’d pay the $5/mo. were I a pro.

Keep it simple! Andrew Carnegie wrote the only book you need, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Terrible title in today’s context, that’s not really what it’s about.

Carnegie set out to find a solid book on human communication. Traveled all over the US, meeting and writing university professors, was astonished that such a thing didn’t exist, so he wrote it.

Interestingly, you can pick it up and read any chapter. Nothing need be in order, it’s not a study course, very easy to digest. Most of it is simply Carnegie telling stories.

There was one that’s always stuck with me: He goes to dinner at a man’s house and the guy won’t shut the fuck up, talks on and on and on. Carnegie shut up, listened, made it clear he was listening, hardly spoke a word. On the way out the man was congratulating Carnegie on what a fine conversationalist he is!

Public domain, totally free, give it a spin. I need to brush up on it myself.

Weirdly cold for NW Florida, froze 2 nights in a row. Back to normal, 50F nights, 70F days.

If I helped one person, more than worth the tiny effort!

None of what you’ve said rings false or against my experience.

You really don’t understand this hooman communication thing, do you?

So let me try to parse this; Your interactions with others is on a purely transactional basis?

About 1/3 of comms on here fail when I try to post. This space didn’t used to work, does now.

I post, the screen refreshes taking me back to a blank entry page. 🤷🏻 Someone looked into a few that I complained about and I’m not blocked. No idea.

The complaint is about guys who want to text forever and not move forward. Heard that a lot when I was dating hot and heavy. Seems lots of guys are either just lonely and wanting to talk on dating apps or who aren’t bold enough to ask for the date in a timely manner.

You have to establish, quickly, that there aren’t any screaming red flags, then ask for the first date. If dating isn’t what you’re there for, go find something else to do.

It’s also a filter for wishy-washy men. Sorry guys, women like men who are decisive. Which a lot of men take to mean “be a controlling jerk”. Not the same, not even close.
