He didn’t. He wanted freax or something dumb. Someone talked him into Linux.

Why did you get kicked out?

You know what makes my Linux distribution perfect? My windows partition that I can switch to quickly.

This might help:

And green. All associated with the more popular variants pfsense, opnsense, truenas, and freebsd.

Data truly is beautiful

Probably have a porn and PC game filter to thank for my career in IT

Wait so people got butthurt that a company made a deal with nix. That company also does business with ICE. And people are mad at Nix?

What am I missing?

Also companies and open source entities do business with all manner of government(s) all the time.

I think the part about teams that bothers me the most is the broader o365, windows, onedrive, SharePoint etc “integration”. It’s so fucking bad.

I never know where anything is saving. Locally? On my one drive? In a temp folder that is findable and that file doesn’t even show up as a recent file? Or is it on some weird SharePoint backend that teams is using? Am I having an offline copy or did I just inadvertently save a copy to the shared drive?

It’s all just bad enough that it’s a horrendous overall user experience.

It feels like MS gets in the way more than it let’s me do my job. I didn’t always feel this way.

To top it off, the way people use it causes issues. Everyone does it differently. You could have people that use outlook for sending docs, people that use teams exclusively, people that use both, people that send share links in email, people that just tag you in some buried “team” you didn’t ever want to be a part of.

Then they’re like “did you see the thing I sent you?” …

Like fucking where?!? Where did you send it?! Let me go search for it–oh well search sucks, the activity feed is almost too verbose so meaningful things get buried too fast.

Bleh. The amount of productivity lost to MS software offsets almost any productivity gain we get from it. It’s a “wash” at best these days.

I think what he is saying is that you’d be jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

They probably had an advanced distributed snapshot backup system. Where any and all employees that used the file in the last 10 years had a version of it saved from a point in time–potentially even on their personal machines or as email attachments to their personal emails.

Based on almost every post on this sub, I believe I must have ADHD.

“me watching a senior dev who makes more than me try to brief senior leadership”

We all have our talents. Some stuff is “table stakes” baseline stuff, but with the way MS has bungled their software these days I’ll never judge anyone for not knowing how to do something “simple” because MS has made most tasks infuriatingly difficult.

Ms365, onedrive, and teams integration makes me feel like the PDF saver.

I’m fucking smart and I crush my job, but the way they’ve “integrated” all of their dumb services has me asking my team to “just send me a $&@$ing email with the pdf”.

My job isn’t MS office guru. My job involves using PPTs, docs, XLS, etc to get funding, effect strategy, guide investment, brief senior leadeahip, and all that. But holy shit I feel like I turn into a clown/Luddite with dumb MS office tools.

I think that’s actually been proven at this point hasn’t it?

Can we talk about how shitty their mobile app is after the last “upgrade”. Jeezus its awful

I am not familiar with the software bubblewrap so I am just picturing your hard drives wrapped up inside your case.

I liked beehaw, but I stopped using it when one of the admins alyaza or whatever her name is started being a total asshole and basically violating all of their own rules (not assuming good faith discussions, being aggressive, etc, etc).

It sucks too, because I really liked the community but I didn’t want to invest any more time there because it seemed like the capricious whims of an overzealous admin with an agenda could tear it all down(sound familiar). Ironically, they have an article on beehaw about people just quietly leaving a place because assholes ruin it. Which is what I did. They say they want to be inclusive and diverse, but it absolutely didnt feel welcoming when that admin went on a tear.

There isn’t a better community on lemmy though.

I am on here and not on reddit but it’s not even in the ballpark of what reddit used to be. Id honestly go back to Reddit in a heartbeat if RiF was allowed to exist.

I honestly think, if there was a Lemmy 2.0 it should be more of a hub/spoke model where you could create an account on a hub, then subscribe to whatever spokes you want. But not every instance needs to have dozens of subunits. It just waters everything down.

Basically imagine reddit, but where all subreddits were their own thing.

I dunno, there always seems to be a dog pile of people ready to be outraged. The LTT stuff, especially the un-verified, tweets from the disgruntled ex employee.

People are ready to string up Linus and torch his community even though the response video today is all you could ask for. Then she piles on and somehow her word is not inpugnable.

Any voice of reason is down voted and dumb hot takes and up voted.it feels worse than reddit tbh.

Nano is a fantastic default editor for gui-focused distros. If you aren’t a command line wizard, nano is a better default because it’s a lot more straightforward.

That said, nano is incredibly limited and if you have any experience with vi/vim/nvim, it’s the best solution full stop. It’s so much faster and more powerful but hot damn is it unintuitive for noobs.
