Even if it wasn't, it would still be won't to kidnap and throw him into a concentration camp without due process.

Too many consonants

They detained a white German tourist trying to enter with a German passport and valid visa for several weeks, while he begged them to just let him book the next flight back to Germany.

Linux Is Not UniX!

Powershell supposedly is really great once you've understood how it's structured.
I keep hearing it's more logical and discoverable than Bash.
Maybe that's true, I keep bouncing off it and getting frustrated. And when I try to read up on it, the explanations throw low level programming terms at me, which I'm too stupid to understand.

But modern Windows has one thing going for it, which makes it similar to Linux in concept:
Literally everything can be done with Powershell, and literally every config can be manipulated manually when you know where to look.

Configs are a bit strewn around the system, though. They can be in your user folder in AppData, or globally in C:\ProgramData or only in the Registry.
And some software says "Fuck all this" and puts them in C:\Program Files, C:\Program Files (x86) or even in an own directory on C:\
But that's no different on Linux, really.

Then you can look at group policies, which are like an extended settings menu for thousands of things that aren't in the GUI.
And since you can write your own group policies that set arbitrary Registry values, you can make Windows your bitch.

The main issue really is documentation. It either doesn't exist, or it's wrong, or only available to Microsoft employees.
So even if you have 10 years of experience in administering Windows systems, you're still hunting through forums for answers.

The most important resource an experienced Windows admin can have is a list of bookmarks to trustworthy sysadmin blogs.

So, to recap: Windows is the Registry. If it reads a config file from somewhere, the path to that config file will be in the Registry. If you change a setting in the GUI, via Powershell, or a group policy, the setting will be saved in a Registry key. Unfortunately, many Registry keys are not legible by humans. And Regedit as a tool absolutely sucks.

You can't force your system onto every society and culture on earth, as Capitalism has done, when your system is Anarchism.

No system has ever worked at scale. Capitalism is literally destroying the planet we live on, Feudalism wasn't any better, and no other system was ever applied at such a scale.
Maybe the scale is the problem, and the Anarchists were right all along.

You must construct additional pylons.

I'd like to shift her vowels if you know what I mean.

It's the new Dacia pickup truck!

I do work in IT and make six figures clicking on shit till I figure it out.

Also keep in mind the fedora versions adhere to strict policy regarding open source. For example, Fedora's Firefox doesn't ship with all codes needed for video playback of all formats.

Did the court actually block the flights, though?
Or did the court say the flights need to stop, but the flights are ongoing and the ruling is ignored?
That tiny little detail is somehow missing.

It is a community-driven project, but there is no structured way to join.
You can become a member of the community when Patrick Volkerding or one of the lead devs ask you.
I've been in contact with them for a while and ultimately decided against contributing.
They acted too much like old men when you step on their lawn, and I don't see the point in this distro anymore, apart from it being a blast from the past.
Literally everything it does is done better by others now.

Victorinox comes to mind.

Spoiler: Their newer models aren't better.
Build quality has taken a nose-dive.

she got 6 weeks of paid holidays a year. How many other retail employers come anywhere close to that?

Every single one, in about half the countries on earth.

If you ask a computer expert to fix the weird thing Outlook just did, or explain why Excel is suddenly writing Gibberish into your tables –
Even if we wanted to explain it to you, we can't. No human being alive on earth knows the reason and how to fix it.
Some of us are really good at poking it till it behaves again.
Others are brave enough to venture into the dark lands of learn.microsoft.com .
But what awaits us there are articles written by Copilot about how it worked before Microsoft changed it again for no reason.

Yes.
Because I don't think about using my turn signal.
I just use it every time I'm about to turn.
