I have no way of responding to this that can’t be interpreted as an insult so I’m just blocking you.

I say this from the bottom of my crusty heart: Fuck linux.

Literally everyone does this now and it’s so fucking frustrating.

Vendor: Here’s our latest update, it’s mandatory, if you don’t implement it within 30 days your license will invalidate.

IT Department: *Does the update* Great well now two core tools we need to do daily work aren’t there anymore.

Vendor: Yeah, we removed them for your convenience, well being, user experience, and personal happiness.

IT Department: But we need them otherwise the software is useless to us.

Vendor: Oh in that case, our new product Premium Plus^^tm does those things but isn’t bundled with your tier of product so please cut us a check for the $5k a month difference and you’ll be good to go!

And if I punched him, I’d be the one to go to jail.

If you have enough people to call them an IT team and they DON’T know this, then they aren’t an IT team, just a bunch of people who think they know computers good.

Source: Delayed updates have been policy everywhere I have ever worked since the 90s.

Back before bubblejets existed, it was a fucktonne less frequent.

It’s just like when magahats call themselves patriots.

Wrong in every factual way but no amount of you telling them will make them realize it.

That OP was just another silicon digibro with a profit driven mindset.

Simple: the rich make the rules

All of them, the fundamental fracturing of the ecosystem by ridiculously multiplying vanity distros are part of the reason that resolving complex problems is near impossible for someone not already steeped in the community.

And they will ONLY act reasonable when forced.

No, linux desktop is trash. Thanks tho.

The impression is that the left is the only side calling for gun control.

Despite the most sweeping gun control implemented by Reagan, and Trumpty dumpty literally floated illegal search and seizure for firearms.

Exactly what percentage of AI data in the wild is labeled?

Close to zero I’d say.

Most of humanity is pretty clueless about IT in general and are just used to trusting who they buy from with zero critical thought or research.

Genuine question: When have we ever needed the things corporations push as disruptive technologies?

This isn’t being done because we asked for it, it’s being done by the owner class as a method of control and cover.

It isn’t ‘we’, and never has been.

Because the rich profit the most when everyone else is in fear and confusion.

So they generate it as much as possible and reap the rewards of ignorance and knee-jerk policies.

Instead of scrubbing, wordbomb them to screw up any AI training

Yes, you’re missing the fact that every service that has made this kind of update has gone on to abuse it. Hell, at this point it’s just factual to say that EVERY service update from ANY data collecting service will be used to fuck you over.

Fuck apple, download full albums in lossless format via torrent.

Funny enough c/politics just banned me for my username
