YIKES … I got one worse still … I was NOC at a company where one of my friends from Desktop services made a mistake pushing hard drive encryption and basically corrupted the hard drive of a large number em laptops. It wasn’t everyone thank god because they were rolling it out in stages … but it was THOUSANDS and there was no real way to get it back. Every single one had to get re-imaged.
I work on the field. They pushed an update, their software loads a low altitude driver on the kernel at boot time. The driver is causing servers and workstations to crash. The only fix so far is to reboot in safe mode, restart, uninstall and restart again.
Imagine having to do that by hand, on every windows device in your organization.
nothing of value was lost
Googling it takes you to the one company website that has managed to get a service out (a keyless) they haveA really good docs public repository.
I work with these folks thru my job and it’s a pleasure to deal with them (even tho the product it’s a bit complex)
It does my great good to see a company actually being run by engineers
You guys are going to blow your top when you hear about DFC (Distributed Fragment Cryptography)
I’ve thought about it too … but with federation it’s a non issue.
Don’t like X or Y community because of their toxicity? Block them!
As usual the early adopters set the precedent.
I CANT wait till the average joe discovers the fediverse! They won’t know how shitty the regular web is until they join and actually use it.
Can’t have linux without a hint of elitism.
“Im much better than all my other friends who are still using Windows … yuck”

Miami dade exists in it’s own state separate from Florida …
a state of chaos (and it’s constant)
Do eet! I don’t have the time to run ANOTHER community
Hi neighbor … we should really make /c/miami
I actually have a Keychron and an amazon clone (royalkludge) and I gotta admit that the RK is 95% of the way there for about half the price
Even more important still … the RK has 2.5GHZ whereas the Keychron only has bluetooth for wireless …
Personally I hate having to press a key and wait a couple of seconds for Bluetooth to resume. The USB adapter solves that
Good investment Jez,
Now get yourself a mechanical keeyboard.
a nice keeb is a must have! They have some cheap ones on amazon for 20 ish or so. The really nice ones cost almost as much as the laptop XD
Enshifitification; now impacting to operating systems too …
At this pace, it could only be worse if they were bought by Broadcom
I’m taking the chance while I can and slowly migrating my lab to Debian
Is that what Win 10 X was? I thought it was supposed to be a light build
YUP! And then something like a 1 year free demo when you buy a computer from an OEM … to make sure all the normies get used to it.
Right of the M$ playbook.
I for once can’t wait, it’s going to be a fun dumpster fire to watch
They’re too smart to do this …
More likely they will make the base OS free and charge for the premium SaaS features … like they already do with one drive, O365 and game pass
The problem is most of us techy people that care about open source are introverts …
Try meeting some normies via websites like meetup or local hobby communities.
I’ve had good luck meeting fellow computerphiles because we’re in the same circle of friends and we even have our own events now IRL (LAN parties, retro arcade nights, programmer trivia nights etc)
is anyone asking for this???
