Lemmy has nothing but time.

Isn’t Lemmy decreasing in numbers?

The reason that most companies don’t want you to do that is because they don’t want people running around installing their own OS and doing whatever they feel like on company devices.

Letting people do that would be an IT and information security nightmare.

It’s the same reason that no (sane) company would give local admin privileges to everyone.

The reason why companies generally don’t have an official way to use Linux is because it’s hard to support two platforms simultaneously. Especially when you have, certificate and/or AD network authentication for wireless and wired like we do. You also need to consider how the two platforms should interact with each other. For example Linux devices should be able to connect to the AD domain with Kerberos and need to be able to access SMB shares and probably other systems.

In short it’s more complicated than “just let me try”.

I am a Windows admin but two of my colleagues who are Linux admins use Linux machines that are running Ubuntu+a few internal tweaks to make it better fit us. The Linux platform is developed primarily by one of the developers at the company and some others (primarily developers) also use Linux. The vast majority of the company uses Windows.

There are also a few hundred Macs.

I have been considering getting our flavour of Linux installed on a VM or maybe even dual booting for testing.

Suggest a country then

Tailscale is very convenient if your home network is behind a CGNAT.

We don’t really have to worry about the Danes invading. We can just move the inventory of all the Systembolaget stores in Scania to other parts of Sweden so they won’t get long.

Qbittorrent my buddy.

It’s still functional hardware though…

Any source that YouTube is the reason that Edge switched to chromium?

I’m betting it’s just cheaper and easier than making their own engine.

Personally I don’t see anything wrong with that at all. Commenting even if you don’t have a vagina is absolutely not the same as speaking for everyone that does have one. In fact I haven’t found a single comment that speaks for anyone but themselves.

If it’s absolutely critical that only people with a vagina comments, OP should probably have put the question on a gendered ask community instead of the main one.

Some people just like to engage in the conversation about something they think is interesting even if it wasn’t explicitly asked for. It’s also interesting to compare delta-TP between genders.

Telling people to die seems a bit extreme for such a non issue.

Being a billionaire is so extremely rare so it doesn’t matter. Social mobility is the ability to move from lower to middle or upper class not from lower to the extreme upper class.

Oh, you had to be a billionaire to be middle class? I never knew that.

We have great upward mobility here though and it’s a capitalistic country.

I think Steam recently started to support different packages for different devices like the steam deck to reduce space. I’m not sure how many games support it because I suspect it’s extra work to maintain more packages.

As primarily a Windows admin (Yes, we exist on Lemmy ;) ) here are few I use often.

• Enter-PSSesion
• Get-ADUser (also group and computer)
• CLS (aka the superior clear)
• ii . (short for Invoke-Item . which runs the selected object using the default method. For paths (like .) the default is explorer, so ii . opens the current directory using explorer.)
• ft (short for Format-Table formats piped input as a table.)
• fl (short for format-like. Used like ft but for lists.)
• Where-Object
• Select-Object

answers.mirosoft.com is the worst. learn.microsoft.com can be decent at times though

50-60k for a week‽.

That’s almost pretty much double the average monthly salary here.

That’s illegal though.

I typed it like that with the slim hope that someone would misinterpreted it, lol.
