Make some other stupid meme or joke that windows does understand then. Maybe it turns our death is secretly using adobe creative cloud on a windows to design the gravestones.

I m not going on /c/windowsmemes to make boring serious complaints about why I don’t understand regedit.

You’ve got to at least to be funny about it on a meme, otherwise it’s just depressing. Theres enough deprssing shit on the serious linux forums.

Or maybe there should be a new meme community linuxwindowstrollbait that is for snarky comments.

Or maybe I just stop moaning and unsubscribe fron this one.

Linuxmemes should instigate a new rule.

Replies should not be serious, boring and/or don’t to know seem to know what a stupid memepost is for.

Windows users should be rebutting this with equally stupid memes about xorg.conf or cups or maybe another panel where death is unable to kill windows because it lost the archlinux-keyring to unlock the scythe.

I’m already locked up in apt hell. I was sentenced to 0.10 minor kernel versions before I get out.

I still have to click separately at login to load wayland-mode in kde version 5.pre-enlightenment - like a massive kloser. Otherwise I’m stuck with a pretty much indistinguishably different user experience.

Debian is a joke, it is so far out of date it is unusable for anything except cave-painting or maybe a stone circle.

Ubuntu is way better.

yes, I think the main thing is when the nonfree firmware was included (user can opt-out) as a default at install. So out of the box support for most common hardware became way better.

It was always pretty easy to add nonfree repositories, but having to manually sort out wifi firmware after an install was a pain.

If >1 special character is not allowed the last check should be failed . The second check is literally satisfied even if there are 2+ specials.

I’d not be using that bank.

There’s also a spoon to symbolise that the couriers were fed soup.

Just install it from AUR.

someone fix that goddamn islochnessmonster() function

yeah, I’ve been rohypnolled by both microsoft and oracle, and general cloud shit , and various co workwers so many times now i barely even notice.

Hilariosly excel has recently started asking now, I think it says something like: “I’ve just fucked up several columns in your csv that you went to the bother of enquoting.” “Do you want me to reload it and i’ll try to un-fuck a few of those columns? ( whispers to audience - but probably not all of them - tee hee).”

I think my employer just needs to employ 25-50 more “delivery” managers and empower them to spend millions on a prettier barrel for us to bend over, that’ll solve it. Maybe it’ll have flufffy handcuffs.

Even if they did use unicode, any codeset , glyph or language changes over time , ulimately they emerge out of communication, not the other way round.

If some culture decides they want to use the glyph “2” to mean a word “to”, they can and will, and no codeset is going to stop them. And if they get their message to their intended audience it doesnt matter that somebody else’s isnumber fuction get’s it wrong.

A person, community or standard codeset or dictionary cannot deny the accuracy or content of encrypted communication just because they can’t decipher it.

Put another way a more robust isnumber() should maybe have a second argument to specify the codeset being used, and maybe whether written words - in some defined languare - are also to be converted

On the other hand “1/4/12” is not a fucking date.

Are you asking for treefiddy upvotes?

This could be used like boss-key in old games.

l often get sent a long list of info/ criteria in excel. It’s often easiest (and traceable / maintainable back to their request) just to stay in the excel to generate large chunks of the SQL

cloud storage is not a backup. This should be engraved on all computers.

one drive is not even “storage” really - it’s more of a embryonic car crash waiting for an unwitting pedestrian to step in front.

If for whatever reason any masochists are using onedrive, tthey really need to know about proper backup .

hmmn, HDD? you really need to replace that for your main drive if you can - whatever the os .

you’re not alone. Ours did that about 3 years ago. Still fucked.

and now they’re gladly moving more and more business critical data into things like ms dynamics, or ms reporting databases into fabric.

We cant even acess half of our own workflow data because of not having enough the right dynamics licenses.

Yes a fucking shared excel file with a task log linking to local network folders was better. It was our fucking data , our data model and our fucking filing system. and all the staff knew how too use it. so much more time was spent actually doing work. we ever used to haveto trawl through version histories looking for the magic file version that would not flip to 0kb as soon as you open it. And we used to have fucking locale timestamps, not random bullshit cloud-o’clock, and dumbfuck US mm/dd/yyyy sorted in literal order bullshit.

fuck ms, and fuck my employer for keeping on paying them.

effectively

Can he also fix alzheimer’s by hunting down memory leaks.

laughs at people scared of choice and “mess” . . .

If they’re switcing to linux they should first come to know about open source forking around - arguably - one of the most important features of the whole thing.

If they don’t wan’t that choice and all that inevitable open source forkery, they probably should go for an apple mac or windows or something like that. And maybe they will have to pay for some software for the privilege because it takes work to do those things. They can of course try plain old ubuntu and do stuff the way canonical wants, that removes quite a bit of choice if it is otherwise too terrifying for them.

But in general, I don’t think its a good idea to to try to sell pig-carcasses to vegans by painting them the colours of broccoli.
