Was a computer repair tech until a few months ago. About 6 months ago this older guy brought in his laptop because he had been hacked and they had changed his password. Was able to change the password to something new using some fancy tools but upon getting in all his files were still missing. Turns out OneDrive was on and ALL of his important files were only on OneDrive and not the computer. Well, Microsoft had changed his password when the hackers changed his computer password so he was locked out and Microsoft didn't believe he owned the account anymore since he didn't know the password. After weeks of calls he just gave up trying to get his stuff back.

Fuck OneDrive.

God the fucking privilege on display in these anti-Biden posts.

"I shouldn't have to vote for the lesser of two evils, I should get to vote for a candidate that 100% aligns with my desires. Who gives a shit about what will happen to the people around me and the people I'm virtue signaling about, all that matters is the feeling of clean-hands I'll have as my trans homies are marched off to the death camps or the Palestinians are eradicated. For I, the enlightened leftist, didn't vote for Biden."

For every reason you have to dislike Biden, you have an even larger reason to fear Trump. Want to support LGBTQ folks? Surely Trump will be better for them right? Want to support women's rights? Surely the guy who put three anti-abortion judges on the court will give us abortion back, right? Want to support Palestine? Surely Trump will put BB in his place and stop the genocide, right? Are you really willing to risk that for those groups just so you can feel superior? Just so you can hope to get a shit party to the 5% threshold and have them still fall on their face the next election?

If you feel comfortable enough voting third party or not voting it's because you have the privilege to be mildly inconvenienced for 4 years and be ok, unlike the groups you claim to be supporting with your protest vote.

Because that totally worked in 2026 right? They obviously just need to lose to Trump and they will suddenly realize the error of their ways and become a full leftist party overnight. All we need to do to save America from the evil DNC is let Trump win again! It makes perfect sense!

Would you blame some Ukrainians for wanting all Russians dead?

What if Russia kept this up for 50 years? What if they cut off power and water to Ukraine? What if they blockaded it for decades? Would you blame them for voting for a party that wants the Russians dead? Do you blame Afghan citizens for supporting the Taliban after a decade of American occupation?

Good luck finding anyone who thinks Hamas' actions are good, but they are entirely predictable. Hamas is the only outcome that could ever happen with the environment Israel created and maintains to this day.

If riots are the voice of the unheard, terrorists are the voice of those unheard after decades of oppression and occupation.

Fair point lol. It doesn't really matter to me though since it's almost never booting, it's always on (as you'd expect from a server).

Eh its maybe a minute. It all depends on hardware.

 

I'm a Homelab tinkerer. This is the closest to a 'desktop' I get from my Linux server. Well, this or Portainer.

No one uses Ninite or Chocolatey around here?

 

Definitely not all communists or socialists, at least that was not the case for the subreddit. I'm pretty sure the mod for this community put out a clarification post if you want to check it out.

It's the same "pick-me" behavior we see with Blaire White and Candace Owens. They either truly think they will be seen as one of the good ones, or they don't care and just want the power and money that comes with being the token.

Same. I was looking for alternatives to the R word and I saw lemmy and was interested, until I saw the ".ml" and immediately heard the amungus noise.

I was very happy to see this here. While I'm still working on blocking all the ml and genzdong communities I see in all, it's already a lot better than I expected going into it.

Of course we don't have any NFTs here, they are banned. ;)
