You mean you don’t want to give the fascist David Ellison any money?!? Me either :)

A proper government would charge him and his shit AI with hate crimes. Too bad we don’t have one of those anymore.

Thank you. I liked KDE when I played with Mandrake many years ago. Does that still exist? Maybe just dated the last time I tried to run Linux as my primary. I have “supported” Linux as needed throughout the years, but mostly through competent searches and general IT knowledge.

Easy?!? We’re talking about breaking 30 years of habits :). But thank you for your response. Remote/RDP because I travel as much as possible (digital nomad currently in the Caribbean) and want to connect home while I’m out. Why hypervisor? Work. I tend to spin up a clean VM for each client, and sometimes need to test things. And my media server has a hardware RAID, but needs to move off NTFS. Probably the first machine I move to Linux.

Thanks. I’ve had a lifetime subscription to Plex for more than 10 years and it works well on TVs and such for the few ppl I share it with (they’re all luddites). I also.may have mis-typed, I have a hardware RAID 5 off a ?Perc5 controller, but its NTFS and I would want to switch.

Thank you! Being an IT professional, I have many machines and will probably try more than one until I find my stride. I bought a new SSD for my media server so I can swap out (and go back if I run out of time) while I learn the new OS. I have two or three other machines that are ready for a change. My primary laptop may only get a Linux VM or two while I adapt.

And which flavor of Linux? I would assume I’d use Ubuntu, but I don’t know the pros and cons of any of them.

I want to switch, but I need some help. I need to be able to “RDP” into remote machines. I think that one is probably easy and built-in from decades ago. I also need to be able to setup a Hyper-V equivalent, to run other machines from my main laptop- haven’t figured that one out yet. And for my media server (Plex), I need to understand the best way to setup a RAID5 or better across multiple drives. Any recommendations on guides for a lifelong NT4 MCSE & current Azure admin? I am sick of Win11 (and 10, 8.1 was OK, 7 was better… they just keep getting worse)

AI research is not philanthropy. Article should say ‘Fascists stop hiding their billions in fake charity, redirect it towards harming humanity further.’

It’s also yet another violation of the Hatch Act. This makes the… let’s see… 7 billionth time Republicans have violated this law? Or is it up to 8 billion violations?

He also claimed he felt it through his Kevlar vest. Didn’t know sandwiches are more powerful than bullets.

So great that you will release an accurate jobs report? Didn’t think so. But hey, we’re told AI will take all the jobs. So at least we got that going for us. /s

I thought that the Earth was molten rock, then cooled, then rained/flooded, and then sometime later, single cell organisms/life.

The ‘Prosperity Gospel’ does not align with Christian views. But it exists to allow “Christians” (heavy reliance on those quotes) to believe that having immense wealth is a sign that they are one of the chosen. These are the types of mental gymnastics certain people utilize to allow horrible anti-Christian behavior. Soon enough, you see Republicans having a little prayer session before they give massive tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy while taking health care away from millions.

I’m sure DOGE will come back and fire anyone at any agency trying to limit the Boring destruction.

Bought lifetime membership 11/12 years ago. Never had a problem. I need a VPN with dedicated IP to deal with the double NAT from my ISP, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

And they’re waiting on Dems to write a strongly worded letter to change things

If their staff weren’t incompetent and understand SPF records, DKIM and DMARC, they wouldn’t be flagged as spam. But when morons who don’t understand the tech fail at using it, it’s not the systems fault for identifying it as garbage. Source- me, 25 years supporting email systems.

Isn’t there a law saying you can’t profit off a crime? Could that money then be confiscated?
