  • discission

    Can't tell if troll or tragically clueless

  • Fuck no, I'll move to Europe and renounce my citizenship if it happens.

    I'd rather have Quebec be its own country than have anything to do with the US.

  • You're an idiot, go back to macOS you fucking normie

    (/s, I'm also waiting for TPM encryption + user home encryption)

  • Sasnak doesn't really like having their cat compared to Hitler constantly.

    I get it, it is funny when you and I see it occasionally, I sure find it humorous! But they're hearing it over and over again, and I'm sure they're sick of it by now.

    I prefer comparing their cat to Charlie Chaplin, who essentially shared the same facial hair as Hitler.

    It was actually quite a popular cut at the time in Europe, it's called a "toothbrush" mustache, and it's unfortunate it got associated with a fascist figure rather than a comedian.

  • Bloc is more pro-provincial rights than pro-quebec.

    I'd trust them more than the CPC even if I didn't live in Quebec.

  • Charlie Catlin

  • Sorry, your original sentence was quite difficult to parse, it's possible I misunderstood!

    But yes, unfortunately the CPC is winning at the moment.

  • Don't be a gatekeeper, open computing is for everyone.

  • Especially in a terminal, it absolutely sounds like it to them.

    A lot of users associate the terminal with "hacking" due to movies.

    You haven't worked directly with users in an IT setting and it shows. You greatly overestimate the average user's technical abilities and ability to care.

    I walked in on a user holding a power bar in one hand and the USB end of a mouse in the other while responding to a "mouse not working" ticket.

    I've witnessed a user waving a wired desk phone around in the air to get better signal because they were complaining of poor call quality.

    I visited a user who was panicking that their outlook messages were all getting deleted before their own eyes, not noticing that their monitor mounted on arms had fallen on their laptop's delete key, holding it down.

    I've seen how deep the rabbit hole of user inability goes. It's not pretty.

    Also don't forget that most terminals paste on Ctrl + Shift + V by default, which is an extra hurdle they have to get over if they're used to the standard paste shortcut. They won't think to right-click to paste, and they'll get frustrated and think the terminal is broken.

  • Removing an appendix is just a couple incisions and suturing.

    This is what you and I sound like to the average computer user. Most kids don't know what a file is.

  • Exacerbating? 😄

  • And then eventually we'll stop fixing it for that amount of money, pocket the difference and go "tough, pay more" if you want it fixed again.

  • lol is their logo a ghost?

    I'm pro-choice, I just think their logo leaves... to be desired.
