I’ve taken too many phishing tests. I have lost the power of clicking.

In your defense, it seems like just a link to a repository.

SDF.org has dial-up. And a Lemmy instance. I think it’s lemmy.sdf.org

When I used Reddit I got news from there. If news sites weren’t so fucking atrocious to use I might browse them directly. Plus, it’s not like legitimate news isn’t shared on social media. AP is generally considered pretty unbiased and reliable and they have a TikTok account.

It is, but I know myself and realistically unless I’m forced to learn it in an environment where it’s first class I’m not going to use it on a regular basis.

I feel like if I was forced to use PowerShell I’d fall in love with it and want to use it on Linux. Passing objects between commands instead of text sounds amazing. So many (Linux) shell commands use slightly differently shaped text, it’s annoying. New line separated? Tab separated? Null separated? Comma separated? Multiple fields? JSON? And converting between them all and using different flags to accept different ones is just such a headache.

My wife’s pixel 3 just busted without any warning a few years ago. PLEASE be sure to have backups of your things and passwords. At the time they didn’t remember their password and was only logged in on their phone. We were able to recover through my email but it wasn’t a recovery address so it was really scary.

The worst part is we already had a family password manager they weren’t using, so it was very difficult to not make it seem like an “I told you so” moment, but they’re on it now and have backups and stuff.

But yeah. We took it to some phone repair guy and he tried a bunch of different stuff. The motherboard just failed or something. No way to extract anything. He said it happened a lot with that model (well, he’s only seeing the bad ones but still).

Ew. Please stop talking.

I had to tweak things often in Windows too. Windows pushed a broken update around December 2023 (or 2022, don’t remember) and when I restored from a system image Windows itself made it broke everything worse. Windows isn’t perfectly stable. There’s currently a bug corrupting people’s disks.

I think a huge part of it is that you’re more used to the types of issues you ran into on Windows and knew how to solve them easily enough that they didn’t cause headaches.

Documentation is easier.

For the love of all things good and pure, do not use LLMs to make your documentation.

Are you able to make sure the course doesn’t have any weird specific browser things? I hope nobody uses IE stuff anymore and Edge is Chromium based now so maybe that’s not a concern like it used to be.

Get her the same one you have so you can see what she sees and help her. Or standard Ubuntu. For real. Don’t overthink it. She’s gonna be interested in your help.

and i read now im responsible on maintaining it, what does it mean? is it just finding and testing drivers? or system update? what is the easiest way to do it? and what i getting myself into?

Where did you see this? What was the context? I ask because you could say the same thing about any PC you own. It’s not like Microsoft is gonna answer your distress call if Windows breaks unless you’re paying for support.

WHOA. Please be VERY HESITANT to use anything ChatGPT outputs. Sanity check any commands it gives you from other places first.

Damn, if only we had some bill that would increase manufacturing of chips domestically. It would be foolish to cancel such a bill while also creating a tariff. How will people favor domestic manufacturing without that manufacturing existing? Surely the president would never do that.

As someone who used bash on Windows through MSYS, I don’t see the issue. It was different, not inferior, to cmd and PowerShell. If someone wants to use PowerShell on Linux why be such a condescending jerk about it? Sometimes people just wanna try things for the fun of trying new things.

The practical purpose of asking is to get a feel for how many people use it.

Less tongue in cheek though, it sounds like you have the same questions as OP. If you’re curious what might be the practical purpose, why not ask people who use it why they do instead of berating OP for asking if anyone uses it?

Why do you care why OP asks if people use something?
