My only concern is that as more large corporations and governments begin to use it, it becomes a much larger target for attacks and malware. There was a point in time where Apple was far more secure than Windows but it was mostly because they had a tiny fraction of the market share and hackers didn’t want to bother with attacking it

It’s getting better, no question. I’m hopeful it will continue to get better.

I don’t really care for Linux at all. I just hate Microsoft.

You should have told your dad what she said so that he could leave her with no guilt. Or if he chose to stay it would show true character.

That’s a no for me. Although I do make a version of jambalaya with no seafood and extra spicy. I love the heat and the seasonings but I’ll pass on crawfish, shrimp and anything else that filters shit as a food source.

I see nothing wrong here.

I’m not into butt stuff and sometimes anal jokes get old, but this - take my upvote

Ok but they were selling shitty laptops with 4g of soldered RAM very recently. I also had to deal with a 64gb soldered SSD, that piece of shit wasn’t even that old, it was a Windows 11 PC . The torx still annoy me, but they’re a garbage company. Don’t even start on their printers.

It’s always torx. I don’t need them for anything else. And yeah I own a couple of torx bits but I have a really nice selection of Philips I keep right at hand. But like I said, that’s just one of many reasons.

I like to fix or upgrade people’s PCs here and there. I always tell people not to buy HP. There are 100 reasons, but one big one is they won’t just use regular fucking screws.

So you’re saying if I can last 10 seconds, that’s over a minute?!

Achievement, unlocked.

Is this on pay per view?

No it’s just to run a single proprietary software for some old hardware at my job. It won’t even be connected to the Internet. After trying for a couple of hours I had it set up and working on Win 10 in about 20 mins including the windows install.

My job has some old equipment that has proprietary software that I can’t get to run on Linux. It’s literally the only thing I need that tower to run. It’s a 2nd gen i5. It runs Windows 10 acceptablyfrom a small SSD. It won’t even be connected to the internet.

I sometimes do. But I’d point a gun back and say, make the penguin run this software in a way that doesn’t require a power user or take a newbie three fucking weeks.

I use Linux a lot and have about ten PCs running it so far, but I literally just installed Windows 10 on a shitbox that will very rarely be online because it was my best option for the software and respecting my time. I don’t work in IT. I run a small nonprofit and I used to build and upgrade/repair PCs as a side gig.

It’s like giving away some scratchers as a consolation prize but the guy in 5th hits a million dollar jackpot

The only problem is when we define everyone who disagrees with us as a fascist. I won’t go hunting authoritarians but if they bring a fight, I’m ready to finish it. That includes authoritarian fascists and leftists, because I’m not on board with either.

Fuck Reddit but this place is far from a bastion of free sharing of ideas. Honestly fuck Lemmy too.

The purple version was the best. Mine from 1999 has had the most use and still works the best. I’ve bought new aftermarket controllers but none stand up to the old translucent purple.

What is an assault rifle? I don’t think what non-military civilians or police carry qualify. I know a few grandfathered fully automatic rifles are out there but they cost like $40k and they’re mostly in the hands of collectors. Most guns are semi auto and semi auto rifles are great for hunting things like wild boar.
