You read a lot into my passing comment about backups. Which stated nothing other than “backups” without passing any comment. Find someone else to pick an argument with.

Of course not, why would I read about idiots who are playing at being computer scientists?

They had backups? Its a non-story.

They didn’t have backups? They’re amateurs.

Either way I’m not interested enough to read it!

Some of those who work forces, Are the same who close sources…

Err… backups!?

Everyone did not know. What is obvious is that everyone still does not know!

Maybe you can use your superior intelligence and foresight to help educate instead of calling massive swathes of people morons for not knowing something?

People aren’t morons for not knowing something that is only “obvious” to autistic techies who instantly think through the ramifications of entire systems. Most people’s brains don’t work like that and calling them morons won’t help anything.

What will help is education - which takes a lot of patience, effort, time and kindness. Have you really got what it takes to make any difference or are you perfectly content with just feeling superior to everyone?

Let’s get tool B to fix the code from tool A bro, it’ll work bro trust me! /s

Surely the servers aren’t running on bare metal anyway? So wouldn’t they just keep the virtual servers in ram and destroy them regularly to redeploy from an image? (I have no idea - I was a web dev 20 years ago!)

But it seems like when you have imaginary “computers” that can be regularly destroyed and rebuilt at little cost or hassle, there shouldn’t be much point in trying to capture or examine the actual hardware because all it’s doing is managing virtual machines existing in ram?

Joke succeeded!

WPA stands for “WiFi Protected Access”.

Are Microslop going to rebuild trust by being broken up into smaller companies? Doubtful!

Why in the fuck did we move away from mainframes and dumb terminals in the first place, Bozes? Now back to that, but… cloud based, and we pay you to fuckin own everything? Get bent!

Also the kids mom (my co-parent) is now on Aurora which is basically the same as Bazzite just less gamer centric. Both are really slick modern Linux experiences so far imho.

Check out Aurora for all your friends and family members you want something really awesome, low maintenance and pretty indestructible for. We’ve not used it for long but it seems really fantastic. Like the distro I would dream up for mainstream (desktop non gamer) users. Or Bazzite if they are gamers. Easy!

That’s three less Windows machines I’m responsible for… whoopee! (Mom was previously using Mint.)

2026 is the year of the Linux desktop! ;-) ;-) ;-)

I’m sticking with LMDE myself because it’s been perfect for me for 15 years already.

Cope alot.

It’s fuckin great, my kids are using it!

Bitwig on Linux is amazing and was the final thing which let me ditch Windows for good after years of using Linux for everything else.

You won’t regret it!

Who wants a computer which might not work after an upgrade and not because there’s an actual problem but because a corporation says no? It’s more stress and more work out of nowhere. Corporations should never be allowed to brick devices, but since they are, I choose “not corporation” as my permanent fix. It’s a good move!

With Linux systems we never(?) have to deal with defaults decided by the profit motive. The computer might not instantly do everything I want but I don’t have to fight a multinational corporation as part of the solution. That’s what swung it permanently for me. I’m not in corporate IT but as a fixer of hundreds of people’s personal computers over decades, Windows is horrific and nowadays I have started just refusing to become responsible for trying to sort it out, even for pay.

Well yeah that’s true. I’m driving an 18 year old second hand VW myself… the fuckers do keep running.

I could never afford a Tesla anyway even if I wanted one - I’m glad to say I always hated them as cars.

But ugh… Musk literally did the Hitler salute, twice to make sure, on live TV, and he is responsible for the real-time deaths of millions of people.

We can’t always do much about politicians but when it comes to business fucks like him, we can dismantle that bastard and his companies everywhere they exist… including in space!

Yes I guess I should say I’m hugely pro Open Source tech but absolutely disillusioned with corporate tech. Which makes me dislike the majority of tech around.

Fuck Musk and Fuck Swasticars!

There’s no excuse left for driving one except having bought it before this year.

Buying Tesla is funding fascism and corruption. All Musk companies need breaking up!
