Anecdotally, working as a sysadmin if there’s one minority group that comes up more than any other it’s “Indian immigrant”. That being said, half of the 4 trans people I know irl are programmers. The others are an organic chemist and an alcoholic who lives off of her father’s disability check. Ymmv.

ReactOS isn’t Linux. It’s an open source reimplementation of win32.

Including the United States, if you live anywhere outside of southern California.

Typo/intentional misspelling aside, it’s clear from context what you meant. Here’s a fun idea, let’s not call anyone retarded. It’s a slur against a marginalized group who have nothing to do with any of this. There are plenty of other adjectives to choose from.

He has his own instance? Lol

Surely you can insult musk without being ableist though? There’s 500,000 words in the English language. Choose one that doesn’t drag innocent people into it.

Another example is boot or login scripts that run on all the servers/desktops to make environment changes you can’t handle with group policy. This person is talking nonsense, they don’t know any windows admins.

Just don’t take money from billionaires

The problem is that your opponent will, and then they’ll win. I fear we need major electoral reform before we can squash this problem.

A lot of Japanese cars are made in the US. Ironically, most American cars are made in Canada and Mexico.

Sounds to me like they chose to be helpdesk. It’s nearly impossible to be a windows admin without using PowerShell, unless you’re super old school and use vbs for everything.

They must be some pretty shitty admins then. PowerShell is essential for managing more than a handful of windows boxes. If you’re running server core (which you should be in most cases) PowerShell and rsat are the only way to manage your boxes

It is really weird, yeah. Half the commands are actual sentences. Tbf most of the common ones have shorter aliases (test-netconnection -> tnc, clear-itemproperty -> clp, get-content -> cat, etc).

The killer feature of PowerShell imo is the -WhatIf flag. I wish all shells had something like that, it’s fantastic for testing scripts without risk of damaging anything.

It wasn’t the first, no. But it was the first that was commonplace and implemented well enough that others almost immediately adopted it.

It’s the same as the iPad. Tablets existed before the ipad. Nobody bought them until apple created a market for them. It’s their biggest strength as a company.

If only windows and macos included a terminal…

That’s not a windows problem, it’s a user problem. The same scenario could play out with a shell script that modifies a hundred dotfiles. Lots of solutions on Linux help forums are “Paste this into your terminal. Don’t forget the sudo!”

As far as I’m concerned “windows key, start typing the name of the application” or “CMD+space, start typing the name of the application” is the right way to handle GUI. Apple nailed it with Spotlight and it’s vastly improved Windows and a variety of Linux DE’s

Idk if the folks downvoting you are naive or just desperately clinging to the idea that someone out there cares about them. Either way, they haven’t been paying attention.

Yeah. Stuff added specifically by Disney, like the names and peraonalities of the dwarves. Someone could make their own spin on snow White using only the original story as a basis though.

Snow White was written in the early 19th century, it was already public domain when Disney made their original movie. I suppose extending the copyright will keep people from naming their dwarves sleepy and dopey but they can make as many snow whites as they want.

Shit, they’re gonna want my DNA. I’m 1/8th Cherokee and I’m descended from Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Christopher Columbus, Abraham Lincoln, every signatory of the magna carta, Jesus, and the Mayflower. The actual ship. Don’t ask.

Thank you 23andme for telling me just how goddamn special I am simply for being born, now I’m not under any pressure to ever accomplish anything.
