i setup my old job with linux internally. never had issues. day i quit boss told me to install windows so he can find a replacement employee. sure.
3 years later. boss wants me back. they've had nothing but problems. but i'm not allowed to install linux again.
he says, "if windows didn't have so many problems you would be out of a job."
fbi want direct access to encrypted data while simultaneously also all data to be encrypted in order to be protected from china?
do explain how this is all going to work because it's extremely confusing.
norway doesn't really count. they have too much independent wealth to need to play by rules set through bullying and abuse. and a natural solidarity because they don't need to concern themselves with economical risks or worries.
my boss told me today if we moved to literally any non-microsoft platform or software, i'd be out of a job.
and he's right. most of us only have careers because microsoft can't push out a software that's more than barebone functional - and everyone use them even if there are far superior alternatives out there literally only because of familiarity.
i'm not planning to stop giving microsoft shit of course. they should be criminally prosecuted over their exchange service even and how it's blacklisting competitors to force businesses onto the platform a la microsoft classic tactics. but eh.
i've been saying that about microsoft windows for about two decades and yet here we still are.
dude, people literally ate nothing but potatoes and milk for the longest time. it's the direct reason why we had industrialization at all. because people could live off milk and potatoes without owning large plots of land. it was revolutionary. so i find it very hard to believe that we would be consuming more dairy nowadays versus our ancestors, who literally had nothing else to eat.
just like how people keep complaining about facebook groups.
they uprooted every community and hobby discussion board ever and move them to a platform that doesn't support distribution of information then moan that it's just spam and repeated engagement content.
watch musk turn the "savings" from "DOGE" efforts into a gov purchase of twitter at twice what he paid, with the argument that they plan to nationalize a digital platform for communication between politicians and voters, while tying a privatized transactions system to the platform where he siphons a small percentage of every transactions ever done by an american henceforth.
a game-o-sopher. when life gives you shitty loot, change the difficulty settings.
It's insane to me that people think they will somehow go braindead the minute they don't have a job. Is that how they act once they get home after a long and exhausting day of labouring? Just sit down in the couch and die, staring at the white wallpaper until they collapse? From my only related experience with actually existing in this life, I fucking hate how I don't have time for anything, ANYTHING, ever, because work work work, only to go home and work work work some more as an adult with actual responsibilities. Retirement ya, i might get a quarter of my shit in order, at best, but I'd probably just stock it with more responsibilities that I really don't have time for, but a window of more time means a window of thinking about more shit that has been neglected or needs doing because things always do.
