As much as I lean to hate this despite it not even affecting me as a Linux user…

I’m going to structure this as a Q&A with myself now, based on comments online

What is that? “I’m going to pretend to ask questions that I’ll then answer myself the way I think it’ll outrage that most people do I’ll get a lot of clicks on this shitty article”? What crappy excuse for content creation is this? I hate it.

Only for security updates.

I couldn’t care less about the major versions, but announcing they’ll stop with the security fixes three years after the release date for a device that I can’t update reliably any other way was a deal breaker for me.

That and the fact that they, too, are just too damn huge. Yes, even the 5 and 10. No, their aspect ratio doesn’t fix that. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

I want to get off Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride

It surely is going to help “marketing” with “numbers”.

Liked your comment so much I just did it there.

I’m just really looking forward to that optimistic feeling of looking into a bright future. It’s what I always loved trek for and from the looks of it, Resurgence captures it.

Yeah, same. And man, I loved homeworld. Even spent too much money on that remastered collection with the mothership model when I was in college and shouldn’t have done it. But nah, not gonna buy an unfinished game.

Hey angel, did you give the dinosaurs more muscle like I asked?

Good. I hate bags that keep that precious garbage juice to themselves.

If the alternative is Windows which is increasingly filled with ads or Linux which shifts the burden of computer administration to a user who might not have a clue about what they’re supposed to do if their WiFi doesn’t “just work”, paying for a managed walled garden that doesn’t try to install candy crush without you asking for it isn’t such a bad option.

Oh we have a dedicated Linux service contract with a dedicated Linux support company that has technicians just to deal with Linux issues and provide the Linux setup. We’ve had time to adapt. I guess some bloke still decided that there just had to be a malware scanner and now we all have to eat shit. This is much less a lesson for it departments and much more a lesson that the people who manage stuff just have other goals than the people working with the tools that are managed, so you end up with somebody who wants to cover their ass in case something goes wrong in the future and makes it a terrible experience for everybody in the process but can sell it as a necessity to the people below and as action to the people above.

Same. The Linux setup there is a fucking mess though… AD authentication freezes login for a minute or so if you switch networks at the wrong moment, puppet keeps messing with the system and recently they installed clamav as a live malware scanner on all machines, making them eat batteries for breakfast and slowing down even menial tasks. If you have admin rights, they refuse to add your user to sudoers but instead create a new admin user (another indicator that they’re just really coming from windows) which everybody just uses to add their original user to sudoers, which was a nice workaround but which they now noticed and want to prohibit via puppet or user rights or something. It’s just such a mess. I mean, still leagues ahead of using windows, but a corporate environment really is a machine that transforms time and money into a terrible experience for everybody.

You know, the universe doesn’t offer much beyond that ship called the Enterprise… What could they possibly do?

You think Germans know how to joke?

I’m not sure if I’m convinced. Could you post a screenshot of a solved captcha to prove it?

^/s

Man, I’m just preaching to the choir here it seems, but yeah, Voyager as well.

Nice. So, I have an encfs folder on a cloud storage. Any way to use vaults to access it? Haven’t even found a way to load existing folders that were set up with vaults, let alone using something else…

Well, I didn’t know it, so I won’t ignore this post! You can’t tell me what to do!

Yeah, sunk too much time in that one.

Still, only paid it once.
