I guess it's not so much Europe but "non IT-core companies" might prefer it, also the convenience of having everything into the same bill (workstation licenses, cloud, etc)

More an issue of procedures and processes, MS selling turn-key solutions and how things work on big companies

Try managing a directory service even on RedHat and see how it goes.

More like Φ probably

I mean yeah when you're paing 20-40k£ you're not getting the best

Honestly there's nothing more corrosive and corrupt than "politics behind the back" from NGOs

It's 90% corporate lobbying with a "do gooder" varnish

This is a common argument, but the problem is the kids who have deadbeat parents

Or even kids whose parents don't have the technical knowledge needed

Yes I do agree the responsibility is with the parents, but it's these kids who are majoritarily affected by (bad internet actors) AND (bad offline actors)

> and have two axes for adding metadata: one being the tag name, another being attributes

Yes let's not even get started on implementations who do <something value="value"></something>

Honestly let's leave XML in that 90s drawer from where it should have never left

> A young programmer asked if he should go work for DOGE, or whether it would end in disaster. I told him that it would at least be interesting, and that if he was worried it would end in disaster, that was all the more reason to take the job. Maybe he could help prevent that.

I guess this aged like Windows Me

Interesting story, but I'm surprised the OP would disable Cmd-z because that is used all the time with vim

I know you might prefer to run a shell on emacs (or vim) but something only the full terminal can do what you need it to do

The list of things emacs users don't get seems to get longer per day so I'm not surprised at the reaction OP got, just disappointed

(but I still think this is on nginx more than emacs - unless they really mean foo~ and not .foo~ )

Also sounds like an LLM wrote it (the original message)

I don't think MacOS OoMs as Linux

(and to be honest the way Linux does acts on OoMs are quite debatable)

Well, last I checked most people don't work for MS so I reckon their experience might be a bit different

Who cares about Windows anymore?

Kids are happy with iOS/Android devices

Google docs solves 90% of Office use cases

And it still pings, of course

> You live in a society, and as a result you have to do a little bit of homework on names, and what they mean, and how they are percieved by the outside world.

Amem

If there's one point where OSS stands like a sore thumb (derogatory) is in everything that makes it welcoming to general users

Usability. Focus. Heck, even this strawberry of a low hanging fruit like the name cannot be solved by a nerd committee apparently.

Then honestly you can't complain when people don't use your sw

but was GitLab sold? I don't think so

So, what does Block actually do?

Yeah weird, I've seen some vendors reject the purchase even after a successful 3ds validation, looks like something in the vendor/payment processor (rather than the bank) side

I'm guessing this is your card bouncing a repeat purchase from the same vendor with the same value

I wonder how much Meta wrote off with their Metaverse adventure

Honestly it's not spoiled to want to use the hardware you paid for

Cool, you do that then. I bet you'll get a gold star at the end of the year

Exactly this

People of a more autistic orientation here seem to think this is a no-no when in fact it's quite the opposite

The note was investigated. Not the person.

Well yes I don't think anybody's monitor can render it anyway

Thanks though last time I tried that it gave me the mother of all motion sicknesses

> Avoid companies that can't see through the Juliuses.

Good luck with that

I am not confusing anything, it was the marketing that was confusing

Of course you're correct and a 56k modem is something like 8k Baud, but in marketing the bigger number usually wins

And up until the 2400bps modems IIRC bauds and bps were interchangeable

Talk about going all the way to write the story and seeing the point go by

Your boss liked Julius. People liked Julius

You're not going to convince people they have to pay more attention to the technical guy that can't string a though together and answers in a grumpy mood

Be more like Julius and you might get more of his laurels
