Good luck, I'm sure the retirees wishing for the good-ol-days putting this shit show on would be so happy...
Of course then again those same people are the ones that would put their whole personal life up on Facebook and say 'what do I have to hide?' so they may just say let him do whatever he likes.
They exist, if it gets to the point like with the Floyd protests you can bet Donnie won't hesitate to point the military at the citizens, then things would get very interesting.
Any country with a shred of dignity would hide in shame. The very notion of intentionally dismantling the systems of intelect and learning for your citizens, your future leaders, should be something any true government of the people would fight against with everything they have.
Given that southern states love to put biblical commandments on their government buildings you can bet what kind of nonsense will get taught as 'fact' to large swaths of the country.
Yeah, but I try and keep as little MS as possible, so my DC is a Linux system, which works fine for LDAP and MS systems joining, but somewhat ironically I've yet to be able to get a Linux system joined to it. They actually have a helper app even outside of sssd but it seems to be poorly maintained. Was trying Bazzite again today based on another comment but no luck so far.
How does cutting funding end up deleting data? Unless they where hosting this stuff on fed systems they shouldn't have been able to touch it, much less delete it.
As for the 'maybe it was accidental', I'd laugh if it wasn't so painful to reiterate what kind of sociopath we have running things.
You would have to think of the user and the comm they post on separately. If a user is prone to spam/trolling then the home instance has every right to not host them, which would then have the knock on effect that they vanish from other places because that user no longer exists. It could be that the home instance got several reports saying the person was an issue.
Battle of who do you want to give all your usage data to so they spam you with ads?
There's a reason why they're cheap, never used Walmart ones but the Amazon tablets required extra fees just to not be a permanent billboard on the lock screen.
This is part of the annoyance of Nix as a desktop though. With windows you have 64bit and (for whatever reason) x86 versions of apps and it's generally just assumed to work with what your running, unless you have an antique with win98 or something.
With Nix there are a a whole pile of possible variables and ways to install things. Particularly with people getting so used to phone/tablet app stores the need for easy install, use, removal is needed for mass adoption. Nobody wants to create folder structures and set environment variables to use some app.
Gaming has improved significantly, although it's rather frustrating that it's by all these compatibility layers and such rather than native run.
For desktop, as a workstation and general purpose it's 'ok' with rough edges. Things like (limited tests with a couple common distros like Ubuntu/Mint/Bazzite) the nextcloud app not supporting virtual files that have been available for a while in Windows and domain auth being twitchy where I've tried.
For the end user a big part is being able to just find an app and use it, no compiling or tweaking of settings needed for it to do what's expected. Package managers help greatly, but with the huge number of distros out there it makes it really hit and miss to say just go for it. The relatively few times you can just download a Linux version of an app from a site (as people are prone to doing if they go read about something on the web) you often would have to go chmod +x it and quite possibly have to run it from a CLI rather than just click the downloaded app.
So usable yes, but in a place where I could just drop it on someone and say go to town less so...
Sweet, will have to take a further look at that. Had set it up to check the state of Nix games and it seems to be pretty decent (last I really looked was when StarCraft was still a big thing). Didn't see anything in the settings about ldap/ad auth in my messing about though.
