Awesome!

Your phone isn’t your phone as long as you run either google or apple software…

Funny, when I suggested that, I got down voted to oblivion

Yeah that might be harder already considering thst, you know, most phone providers don’t give you that option

Or, you know, don’t use pins, use passwords

The point is hoping there are enough dumb people out there willing to pay for software that is freely available after you lie some to their face.

See also anything that Microsoft produces, they are a billion dollar company with that shit somehow.

Yup

Who cares? The pedestrians in front of those monstrosities that will be chopped to pieces by that murder box. How the hell that thing can drive legally on any street is beyond me.

OnePlus, I think

Eh, Boeing airplanes may or may not have lost doors during flight due to crappy design and construction, and the now multiple murdered suicide ls whistleblowers don’t add to my trust in Boing.

Make sure you don’t get a windows seat though

Also, move ssh to a different, higher port. Since ssh isn’t exactly for noobs, changing the port is easy enough to work with and that alone already reduces port scans and what not

Install Linux and be done with the shit from Microsoft already

You have to learn a little for any task, so people saying that they don’t want to learn something is a bit weird.

Linux really isn’t more complicated than windows. Actually, after 25 years of Linux desktop, looking at windows it’s frustrating complication after complication.

Git has nothing to do with Microsoft and I think most tech people (th only people using git) know that.

I have seen and used alternative tools. Git has issues, just like all alternatives. Its just that git is vastly superior to all alternatives, and it’s open source.

If (once) Microsoft gets abusive with GitHub, people will leave for alternatives, such is the life of open source

Just because some (really dumb) people think git is from Microsoft doesn’t mean we should stop using it.

With that logic we should stop using half the protocol and utilities out there. Remember that open source can be used by anyone, so that includes Microsoft.

Just setup your own open source gitlab or something and use that. Don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater

You seem to not understand that github is not git, it uses git, period.

Install Linux on your desktops. If you have windows servers then what the hell are you doing anyway? Dump Microsoft

You shouldn’t have to.

I live near exclusively in the console because it’s my work and I love it, it’s WAY more efficient than the GUI, but last time I actually NEEDED the console? I can’t remember, honestly.

Also are you trying to say you never needed to figure something out on windows? Granted, I don’t read much about it because fuck Windows, but I remember windows Registry headaches, is that still a thing? Just copy paste these base64 codes in the registry in these UUID keys, which literally would be impossible to learn, and it will fix it, super easy!

Any idea how many UX designers help with open source? KDE looks way better than windows (IMHO) and having used it for 20 years I just seriously wonder why people pay hundreds of dollars for windows crap while they can have something better for free
