Has that carrot been genetically modified?

*Inb4 all plants are genetically modified, I mean via gene editing and not selective breeding

I was finally at a job where I could use Linux at work. Things were great for about a year and then BOOM we get acquired and the new company forces MacBooks on everyone.

I. Friggin. Hate. MacOS. The biggest pain point is the keyboard shortcuts, 15 years of Linux muscle memory...

My point is I can very much relate to having to use unproductive shit for work and the daily reminder of why it's not on my personal devices

Oh wow, you're right.

+1000. one of my coworkers keeps thinking he's saving time with AI-generated code but what he's really doing is pushing the thinking downstream when we have to pick apart the absolute garbage that gets generated.

PR feedback gets turned into AI prompts and the cycle continues. It's exhausting

Yep, I've seen MS flight simulator fans basically create entire cockpits in their house with a crap tonne of screens for 180-degree vision and hook up all the 3rd party peripherals.

There's just no way this will ever work seamlessly on Linux

I went to Derry and Giants Causeway after watching the Derry Girls TV show ("foreigners fookin' love the Giants Causeway!")

It wasn't wrong, I greatly enjoyed my 3 days in Northern Ireland

I'd go to France again but Paris: never again

Huh, I've had work profile enabled for ~1.5 years and have never noticed this notification toggle. Thanks!

In my country, Microsoft has inserted itself into the education system. If you want to learn system / network admin so you can run IT at pretty much any local business, it's all Microsoft.

To be fair, Active Directory does make it easier to manage a bunch of windows boxes with consistent users and permissions. When your users are business people mashing Excel spreadsheets all day, and build their lives and identities around Excel, you pretty much have to give them the environment that Excel runs in, which is Microsoft.

I bet the security "experts" who designed this are busy jerking each other off about how "secure" they've made everything

Sometimes things dont translate well to English. Like the common Indian surname Dikshit

What are you going to do, send them money? That information isn't private, people have to give it up all the time to receive money...
