  • I remember bringing up possibly switching to linux to my IT manager at my previous job, I was told, and I quote:

    I would love to, windows sends a lot of junk network traffic and that sometimes makes it hard to investigate shit, but I was told by corporate that people already know windows and we already paid for the licenses, so no.

    That’s basically been my experience as well whenever I recommend linux over Windows to corpos, they can’t understand that there are valid reasons to switch, they are corporate and they know better than you, even when they know nothing about your field!



  • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skáldskaparmál

    (Was in an argument with one of those brain dead culture war idiots who genuinely thinks that the latest god of war game had ““gone woke”” with its depictions of Odin & Thor, almost anyone can tell you that GoW’s Thor depiction is mythological accurate, but right-wingers also apparently take issue with the depiction of Odin as a behind-the-scenes plotter instead of an uber-stronk war god. Odin in the mythology is repeatedly shown to plot, scheme, and lie, when I brought this up, they called me a slur and asked me to provide a single instance of Odin intentionally plotting. In Skáldskaparmál, one of the stories is how Odin stole poetry for the gods and humans, he does this by plotting and lying.)
