Which blows my mind they fucked up teams so badly! It started out as a very lightweight video platform from Skype, running on low end hardware. Then to be more competitive against Zoom, ramped up the garbage until it’s practically useless…

NP. We don’t even use dosens in America so I learned something new!

Good luck banning it. They’re are so many worse off things… Like Meta, Google, and Palintir.

So get a gallon of milk, and IF they have eggs, get a dozen (gallons of milk). Basically this is an if statement meaning if X is true, do this. Well normally we think get a dozen would be get 12 eggs, but because “have eggs = true” that meant get 12 gallons of milk. The opposite would’ve been eggs=false and he’d come home with 1 gallon.

I’m not a Dev so I can’t write the code better, but I understand the language enough

Try Simplex on Yunohost. I mean, it’s about as clean/quick as can be iirc. Simplex has the lead in security, but I recall the app stating they couldn’t keep servers funded and are shutting down. So you might need to run your own to be on the safe side.

Signal had privacy problems?? Maybe using Google play notifications? I download the apk to be Google free, works on my lineage OS just fine without micro g.

XMPP, if you’re all within the same ecosystem vs SMS or RCS chat (which only carriers services support), it’ll use OMEMO encryption and is e2e encryption. I host my own instance to have a little extra control. And that’s on top of everything else secure about it. Anyway, I believe you can enable traffic over Tor for XMPP, but I do not have that bc it breaks voice calls.

SimpleX is going away I thought. Any reason you don’t want to use Signal, or setup XMPP/Jabber/Snikket/Prosody, etc.

I have been most successful through referrals and in-person connections vs online. Online gave me a lot of empty responses in job apps filled out, and seems like the biggest time waster.

Indeed seems better fit for SMBs.

LinkedIn is cutthroat corporate jobs and ass-hat humble bragging dipshits. If anything, LinkedIn allowed me to reach out to people I knew or know and still talk to, ask about how they like their jobs and company, and ask for a referral. That’s the best route. Doesn’t catch them off guard, and tells you if they like you enough to stick their neck out for you.

K dude. Not worth arguing over. I don’t really care that much

Ooo yeah, bananas, ramen, applesauce, tequila

Chances are, I’ve been using Windows longer than you’ve been alive.

Lmao, OK bro… You must’ve used windows before 3.1 then, cuz I’ve been using windows since 3.1.1 with DOS.

Clean install on most machines involves going to the manufacturer’s site and grabbing drivers.

I haven’t had to do that for any PC in probably close to a decade unless I’ve got a Windows USB installer from media creation tool and config offline on older hardware so there’s no chance to really detect anything. On the Dells, Lenovos, and even a few “custom” hardware, it’s not been a problem for me. It certainly can be annoying, at times, but like you said, you’ve been doing it a long time, so have I. It’s a non issue.

I agree on the RAM hogging reworked Edge Webview BS though. It’s obnoxious to try and just web wrap everything. That’s the latest douchification of any software, but I think the real reason behind it is users’ data to track it and sell it. Anything on the web, through Chrome or Edge, now they get detailed insight on what you do and how you do it. They cry “uniform platform and latest updates”, I say it’s “you will own nothing and be happy”

Touche on the ms account. During startup, I’ve gotten so used to F10+Shift and typing “oobe\bypassnro” to not require network access not ms account.

OK, we all know “compatible with everything” was more so software and most hardware. Installing windows is not difficult at all, not like it used to be. A clean install, hit windows updates, 90% of drivers are done this way, no problem. Maybe back in XP days you needed the driver discs and whatnot.

I’m not trying to stick up for Microsoft, but you sound like you just hate the simplicity of it and are looking for the negatives. Windows has long been the “easier is” to use, install, or compatible with software. Most regular people are not going to want to do CLI for software, updates, or other functionality.

Linux is getting easier to install, easier to use (less CLI bs for the masses), and more compatible with applications. So that’s a good thing. Like Mint, you pointed out being very easy, but also it looks functionally similar to Windows which helps with comfort using a new system.

Last thing I’ll touch on. Windows ditched x86 hardware (32-bit) which was necessary, I think, due to RAM requirements. I was a tad disappointed with the 8th gen Intel rule, but that’s easily bypassed even today for older hardware. That’s for the TPM2.0 support, and again, from a security standpoint for the masses, it makes sense.

Everybody knows it’s bananas, rice, applesauce and tequila.

Sheesh… What a piece of work. No wonder every other country hates us! 😩 on behalf of other Americans, I’m sorry to everyone else!!

Honestly, I don’t even think I know why tf it was started in the first place. I mean, no offense, but Americans should’ve just minded our own fucking business and not taken sides. It’s cost too much money, too many lives, and benefited no one minus a few people betting on the war on Polymarket… Maybe that’s why. Insider trading. Either way, nobody else seems to make it their business/problem, so say has America? Again?

Hell yeah brother!!

This is like the movie, “Her”

you will probably be able to make use of that even from your monthly subscription windows 12.

btw, there is zfs for windows too.

You literally said it TWICE in your comment. Why else would I have replied to it??

Also, someone porting ZFS does not make it officially supported, so again, the vast majority of average Joe users will not know or understand ZFS as I stated before.

I don’t care what Windows uses, but you think windows would actually support another format? They’ve used NTFS forever, and ReFS hadn’t really taken of despite its intro around server 2012 & windows 8. Sure it has WSL but idk they’ll support ZFS that much.

I have been relieved they started supporting the open document format in recent Microsoft 365 desktop software.

Dude we didn’t come here to argue partition formatting lmao. Cool ZFS is good. But limited to a handful of Linux distros on a computer (not phone) and definitely not for the average Joe* to figure out how to use.
