    Another twenty plus years Linux server and devices admin and user that found last year that Linux is finally mature and stable enough to replace my desktop too without having the fiddle with it every once in a random update. It was a decision that I can accept making workarounds for legacy windows software and l can live without other eco system. Yeah, there are plenty of reasons that people are still running Windows and keep doing so.

    Don’t make being user of an operating system your identity, people. It’s just as annoying and unnecessary as those Apple fanboys we all know and dislike.







  • Companies go out of business all the time and others decide to sunset systems in use so customers are required to upgrade despite it is still working. So yeah, be realistic about expectations for any external service you decide to invest in.

    Edit; and some things like smoke detectors do in fact have a life span after which they are degrading. Ten years is normal for a smoke detector.










  • I remember that as the first months of slimey opportunists trying to get rich by hoarding toilet paper and hand sanitizer but I think it passed. I think there are, have been and will always be assholes that try to ride the wave of fucking other people over. But they did so a major exposure of their assholeness then, definitely.

    Idk, I remember being frustrated with people that didn’t care or even try, but I wasn’t really scared other than that my mum might catch it because people are selfish dicks.

    There were a lot of positive things happening, like breweries devoting production to making hand sanitizer at zero profit because it was the right thing to do. People coming up with clever solutions to necessary interactions and stuff like that.
