Followed by smug mentions of cheap OEM keys and massgrave repo. Yeah, that ain't gonna fly for work laptops, guys.

Obligatory PS mentioning that I do use linux everyday on my personal machine

Fair enough. I've met both good and bad users.

My man, have you ever worked in tech support? I admire your optimism.

I dread meetings and I can't wait for AIs to replace those managers. Or perhaps we'll have even more meetings because the management wants to know why we're so late despite the AI happily churning out meaningless codes that look so awesome like all that CSI VB GUI crap.

If I had a dime for every time I had to struggle because of subtle rendering changes between libreoffice and ms office over a single ooxml doc...

Agreed, the foss-friendly image is just a facade. MS is never going to commit to open source as it directly threatens their bloodline.

It will probably split and congregate around instances focusing on heavy moderation and KYC vs crypto-focused free-for-all ones if they ever gain traction.

And we won't be the cool protagonist with sleek looking augs and doing parkour with Icarus either. We'll be the ones hooked on neuropozyne hoping for our implants not going haywire at some point.

It's incredle how public perceptions change, huh? Bill Gates was considered the devil back when MS was steamrolling against open source software.

A tragedy for the afghan people. Even more so, since there's a sizeable chunk of their own population supporting them.

I would absolutely use a VM with no internet connection for these, but then all bets are off if those softwares need direct access to GPU, for example. GPU passthrough is a thing, but I haven't had much luck personally.

I'm worried about the link rot problem when the specific instance used as source goes down.
