I totally understand where you’re coming from. It’s absolutely not uncommon to casually refer to high-rank NCOs as Officers (in Canada at least)

Well… “They’re all” is kinda rhetorical shorthand, but the vast, vast majority of Israeli citizens are colonizers definitionally, just like how “all” north Americans are colonizers (obviously except indigenous people). The difference is that the USA/Canadian settler colonial projects have already “”“succeeded”“”.

To build a fire is so good! Would highly recommend it to anyone that is familiar with ‘The Cremation of Sam McGee’

A. Care to provide any evidence for your “gender is a mental disorder” point? Even a little?

B. No one actually cuts a penis off, just FYI

C. Its not uncommom for Cis teenage girls get breast reduction surgery, or even implants. Do you have issue with this? Or do you only have an issue when it’s trans men getting a mastectomy?

D. Why you gotta be weird dude? I guarantee you’ve interacted with at least a handful of trans people in your life and were genuinely clueless about it. (I’m pre-empting the “we can always tell”)

Edit: didnt notice he’s banned. Leaving it anyway.

Yes and at the end of the day it’s all just binary getting dumped into a cache and processed by the CPU. The point is that the intent of the file matters and while they do both hold text, the intent, purpose, and handling of the kernel mode/ring 0 driver is much different than a “simple text file”

So different in fact, that as another user pointed out, it has happened to Linux too

Calling a kernel mode driver a “simple text file” sure is interesting

Not to jump at you in another comment thread, but any OS that is deployed in a business environment should have some form of endpoint protection installed unless it is fully airgapped + isolated.

Despite the myth that “Linux doesn’t get malware”, it absolutely does and should have protection installed. Even if the OS itself was immune to infection, any possible update can introduce a vulnerability to that.

Additionally, again, even if the OS (or kernel in the case of linux) couldn’t be infected or attacked, the packages or services installed can be attacked, infected, or otherwise messed with and should be protected.

I’m not sure if you intended to reply to me, but I am aware of this. Thanks for checking my understanding though :)

I see you’re operating on a plane of reality where windows is the only bad software, so it’s kinda pointless for me to continue here. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Y’know, I’m pretty deep in the FLOSS brainrot, but as someone who: A. Daily drives Fedora and Debian B. Works for an MSP and deals with Windows daily

Most companies cannot afford the productivity, monetary, or labour hour investment that is involved with changing to a whole new OS and re-training all of the workforce. Thats even if you ignore that switching to Linux generally also involves changing some percentage of programs that are used for business critical processes.

I love Linux, but it’s not meant for every situation

Is your point “Linux and Mac dont get viruses or targeted for cyberattacks”?

Or is it “This wouldn’t have broken on a different operating system”?

This was very much not caused by windows

Its a quote from Rogue One if I’m not mistaken

I know, it’s absolutely ridiculous. I’m sorry I even suggested it in the first place. /s

Unless I’ve seriously lost what “an enterprise thing” is nowadays, I wouldnt call SPF and DKIM (and DMARC for that matter) “mostly an enterprise thing” considering:

• They are security measures implemented by default with all freemail providers

• Almost all mail systems will block or flag any mail which isnt at least SPF authenticated

• Gmail and yahoo now aggressively require DKIM and DMARC to be configured in order for mail to be delivered if delivered in bulk (this is in addition to their past SPF requirements)

• We (my company) consider it a mandatory now in 2024 to guarantee mail delivery, even for our smallest clients.

I think its probably possible to use a meme format without intending it to compare yourself to the subject of the meme

Alright, let me walk back and apologize for my performative argumentation and be extremely clear about my opinion in the shortest, most sincere way I can do this.

• Fewer human drivers is good

• Fewer cars on the road at all is better

• Self driving does significantly increase the safety of roads, however increasing transit and reducing cars on the road increases safety for everyone by a larger margin

• While selfdriving is good to reduce the number of human caused accidents, telsa’s implementation is has no secondary sensors, and no map correlation for it’s vision results

• Even with self driving, car centric infrastructure steals valuable space that could be used for housing, transit or pedestrians

• Ultimately, I think our disconnect is that my argumentation made it seem like I dont support both (I was really unclear, I apologize) self driving is really awesome for road safety, but on it’s own, it still means there’s generally the same amount of cars on the road. Implementation of (reliable) self driving in combination with other regulatory changes such as larger public transit investment, stricter testing regulations, stronger punishments for breaking driving laws, and more regulation on where cars are allowed will do more than self driving on its own could ever do.

Sorry perhaps I was unclear. (Or perhaps you willfully misinterpreted me)

You want Tesla to create transit infrastructure?

I don’t think Tesla should be making anything as long as the current figurehead is in charge. Transit should always be public infrastructure… Not sure how you would have thought I was advocating for privatized public transit.

You honestly think there’s a person that exists that has done this?

I also never intended to suggest that self driving is pushing individuals from adopting transit… Moreso that the proverbial carrot of “fewer road accidents thanks to self driving” is likely to prevent regulators from taking the note effective steps of:

• reducing the number of drivers on the road with stricter testing and enforcement of road laws
• providing an alternative for those who can no longer drive via larger investment in public transit infrastructure

I understand it might not feel that way, but it’s the actual truth, we have massive amounts of data on this, and your feelings don’t outweigh that.

Yep. And fewer cars overall makes pedestrians safer as well. You dont want human drivers, I dont want cars
