I was not prepared to deal with this level of grief today…

You know I talked this over with my partner who saw it that way. To me it’s more of an equal statement which would be incorrect. But humored me about how 2 brains can have a completely different understanding.

Am I crazy… But wouldn’t 1 hobbyte equal 8 Hobbits?

Don’t you dare touch my hand!

My guess is this reset your bios as flipped a tpm setting on. Maybe see if you can disable all tpm/secure boot and see if it carries on.

I don’t think anyone thinks it’s super easy deep down. Folks might be glib with it though. I think it does us a disservice to assume the majority cant vs the majority can. But that’s just an opinion.

Well I agree with the difficulty here. But I think as a society we should both try to make it easier to make this transition and help individuals feel like they CAN make the transition. Otherwise it’s sort of nonstop toil ain’t it?

Well, one has to learn those things. But why are we shitting on people that do now?

Some people honestly believe this 100% which of course is nonsense.

Because you’re not voting in the right people.

Isn’t the bigger issue here that they can see the plaintext password?

Am I missing the beans here? Or is this insane to have all these fixens and no beans?

Remember when Kathy Griffith got destroyed by the right for shit like this… She never should have apologized it turns out.

It’s actually both. TurboTax spends millions lobbying against simplicity in the tax return process. While Uber also spends millions lobbying against proper labor practices.

Ballmer also got Microsoft their first major contract back in the day. He did contribute massively to what MS is today. To that dollar value? No, no one contributes THAT MUCH. But it’s not like he wasn’t extremely impactful.

See this is the problem here. We have these insane examples of wealth that should really have been fixed with a 100% tax rate over something reasonable. But since we didn’t do that we have the other extremes, calling for tearing down other streams of income or demanding you should work the rest of your life for a wage vs investments. Neither of these positions offer much value here. Really we should be pushing for voters to turn out and create a reasonable tax rate. Take WA for example and how they created a 7% tax on over 250k annual for capital gains. Could that be more? Maybe. Could it be a sliding scale up? Sadly no due to the state constitution atm. As an engineer there I might be in a position that pays that, which I’m OK with, but no way I could buy a house here or live comfortably without working if there’s no investment income allowed. And I don’t really want to spend the rest of my life working for shitty tech companies.

Wait… But then the stock would be virtually worthless…

Yea without the R flag it only does the file (and since folders are files in Unix…)

If you didn’t use the recursion flag this wouldn’t be to bad

They claim it’s 100% societies fault. So even while trying to defend they remove all agency from this guy. Yes, let’s work to improve systems to give everyone a better shake, but don’t discard his own horrible actions.
