everyone thinks they can pull it off just fine, but believe me, it’s not a bad bet that your IT dept knows better than to bend to someone just dangerous enough to be a problem. it’s probably happened before and that’s probably why the policy is in place.

this is fully intended to trick gullible people. it is absolutely about the money.
burning all these dev tokens just stabilizes or increases the price of the remaining tokens, and they couldn’t just sell them either, that would crash the price. they’re selling gta6 clips for $160k.
if you think that burning dev tokens is a sign of good will, you are a mark.
i have often found myself needing to manually update packages on distros like fedora or debian because i need a newer version that hasn’t landed in dnf/apt yet. arch doesn’t have that problem. ymmv, obviously, it’s not going to be an issue for everyone.

if you read the article instead of just the title, you’d just know it’s WSL instead of having to speculate.
- anewfox@lemmy.ziptoTechnology@lemmy.world•Ubuntu is growing faster on Windows 11 than on native Linux PCs, says CanonicalEnglish7·10 days ago
the awkwardly-written title is referring to ubuntu via WSL (“on Windows 11”) as opposed to just running linux (“native”).
the article is pretty clear what it’s about, even the caption on the first image straight up says what i just wrote. you read it instead of just reading the title, right?

yep, flock exists purely to get around the 4th amendment and the requirement to have a warrant.

never even heard of wmic. looked it up and it’s just been superseded by a new tool. this is barely even news, but neowin had to title the article like it’s a big deal.

“yeah, you can definitely write an article about how deeply stupid and gullible i am, sounds great. make sure to name me, too, so everyone knows.”
you’re right, but i need people to understand that this is simply not a workable solution for most people. the simple fact is if we want the average person to adopt more open source alternatives, it needs to improve usability even without their help. it’s not really enough to only cater to us power user nerds with “good enough,” and it doesn’t win hearts and minds to handwave complaints and tell people to come back with a patch.
incels have always existed, we just used different terms for them until they outright stole and corrupted the name of an extremely normal support group for people with social anxiety.

all of them are just admitting that they’re embarrassed about using AI instead of their own brains. of course, they don’t know that because claude never told them.

ideally you’d setup wireguard (or whatever) for them to use so you’re not just opening ports to the entire internet. i use jellyfin and like it a lot, but the real major issue with jellyfin is explaining to your elderly mother how to setup and use wireguard on her smart tv.

anyone who is hopeful about xbox’s new leadership probably isn’t terribly aware of microsoft’s past. they’ve done this dance a million times. “we’re improving!” -> people believe it yet again -> surprise, they found a way to suck even more now.
… people are still blaming taco bell for taylor farms’ latest fuckup? even after taylor farms has fucked this up multiple times in the past and taco bell was the first to pull stuff that wasn’t safe to sell?
