The better question is why would we want that?

Microsoft has historically not been friendly to anyone else. Until they prove otherwise, this is going to be my assumption. It's some form of embrace/extend/extinguish.

I love that Linux is everything that Microsoft is not. I love that I have full control of my hardware. I have control over processes. I have control over packages. And user control is the default.

I can already join a Linux PC to a domain and run VPN. I can easily transfer files. I'm good.

I definitely hope this goes somewhere. This is local to me, and the current nuclear plant here has been managed well.

I can't believe you can just opt out of that after murdering someone's children. Incarceration would be mandatory. Why is this not?

They do, that's true. But with better salaries in the private sector and strict anti-cannabis policies, their talent pool is tightly restricted.

The old bags don't know where they are, let alone how a computer works. How are they possibly going to enforce any of this?

Exactly. We need more people to move away from it.

I typically lead by example and will tell anyone who listens about how good modern Firefox is.

I firmly believe this is one of the possible solutions. Just labeling them as religious doesn't help, as not all Christians feel this way.

Last I checked, Jesus taught love and acceptance. He hung out with people in poverty making hard choices.

I'm not religious. But this is exactly the stuff that caused me to avoid the church.

Mint user checking in. It's easy to use and I like Cinnamon. Only complaint is the lack of Wayland support.

Everyone is talking about how these things won't work. And they're right, they won't work 100% of the time.

However, they work 80-90% of the time and help keep the numbers under control. Most importantly, they're available now. This keeps Lemmy from being a known easy target. It gives us some time to come up with a better solution.

This will take some time to sort out. Take care of the low hanging fruit first.
