I knew what it was, but I clicked it anyway. Not disappointed.

I love ufw... So straightforward and easy to use.

Google does not have a handle on platform abuse for the past year or two. The cracks are starting to show.

The better question is why would we want that?

Microsoft has historically not been friendly to anyone else. Until they prove otherwise, this is going to be my assumption. It's some form of embrace/extend/extinguish.

I love that Linux is everything that Microsoft is not. I love that I have full control of my hardware. I have control over processes. I have control over packages. And user control is the default.

I can already join a Linux PC to a domain and run VPN. I can easily transfer files. I'm good.

I definitely hope this goes somewhere. This is local to me, and the current nuclear plant here has been managed well.

They do, that's true. But with better salaries in the private sector and strict anti-cannabis policies, their talent pool is tightly restricted.

The old bags don't know where they are, let alone how a computer works. How are they possibly going to enforce any of this?

Mint user checking in. It's easy to use and I like Cinnamon. Only complaint is the lack of Wayland support.

Everyone is talking about how these things won't work. And they're right, they won't work 100% of the time.

However, they work 80-90% of the time and help keep the numbers under control. Most importantly, they're available now. This keeps Lemmy from being a known easy target. It gives us some time to come up with a better solution.

This will take some time to sort out. Take care of the low hanging fruit first.
