💯 they’re not outnumbered, they’re less organized.

I feel the same way when I think about how when ever you get a whole bunch bunch of stuff together in one spot, it frickin warps time and space and that’s why I’m standing and not floating.

Yes! This is it, so let’s all work together to make it a good one for each other.

A much much larger proportion of users are computer illiterate, especially federal employees. On top of that, the vast majority of basic software applications used are the Microsoft suite of Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. How do you

1. Retrain an aging workforce to use a new OS.
2. Retrain to use new software suite for email, docs, etc.
3. Or rebuild existing software to run on Linux
4. …there’s more but I’m short on time…

The ENTIRE US govt runs on Microsoft. That’s a very big pie to rebake. Where do you even begin. I do agree with you, it just feels unsurmountable.

I can’t think of a fictional character that has this, but the ability to know, and convey the answer to ANY question.

I remember watching that and thinking, they don’t sound very rock-‘n’-roll. I guess they lived long enough to become the corporate villain

Thank you for such an amazing response. You’ve given me so many great threads to pull on. I’m going to have a great time diving into all this. Sincere thank you.

I want to turn a Microsoft surface go 2 into a kali linux machine. I would appreciate any guidance pulling this off. I want use it for learning it security stuff, partly for work but mostly for curiosity. Occasionally I run across malware, trojans, and I want to look under the hood to see how they work. I’m assuming Kali is the best tool for the job and that Lemmy is the place to go for tooling around with tools.

Wait how do you pronounce boatswain!?

…I don’t know how to pronounce that word either

A piece of tail

I agree with you that they are not interchangeable. A large swath of Christians are appalled by fascism.

But, they have historically used each other for their own means, and that can be difficult to ignore. I think once again people are seeing the two get back together, and we all know how that relationship turns out.

And a how do you do to you too dear Doctor.

TO THE ATMOSPHEEEEEERE!

File. For. Bankruptcy. Best decision you could ever make. Hell, just ask GPT how to do it. It’s just paper work and then blamo, debt be-gone. Do some research , there different kinds of bankruptcy. The rich do it all the time. It’s as American as President Camacho.

Monocultures in Agribusiness. One ‘public secret’ many outside of the industry might not be aware of is the prevalence of monocultures in crop farming. Vast expanses of land planted with the exact same genetic line of a crop. While this makes farming operations easier and often more profitable in the short term, it’s a ticking time bomb for pests and diseases. One well-adapted pathogen could wipe out an entire crop species in an area (look up citrus greening in Florida), because there’s no genetic diversity to halt its spread. But hey, it keeps the costs down…until there’s no food to eat.

I know nothing, why is Purism a scam?

Gay people. When I was much much younger I remember telling a friend that while I didn’t have a problem with people doing their own thing, I still didn’t like gay people. My friend said I hope when you have kids they’re gay. Guess what happened and how I feel about it now. I was such a dumb ass. When my kid came out to me I wept for joy at their bravery. I don’t take hard stances on my opinions now and try to remember that my perspective isn’t ultimate or necessarily right. There’s always a chance that I’m wrong.
