In an alternate universe: Microsoft's ribbon UI took off and every program started using it
Time to learn a new bassline.
@Grumblesock @BattleDwarfGimli The same thing the write about now: absofuckinglutely nothing at all.
@MeanwhileInOhio @Escoffier @merchantHelios @Seattle_Guy @yockeypuck It's weird that my 3d printer gives me less problems than any traditional printer ever has. Could be that I only ever print stl files off an SD card, though. I'm too scared to use the USB interface.
@Seattle_Guy @MeanwhileInOhio @Escoffier @merchantHelios @yockeypuck Printers are the spawn of Satan. I run Fedora these days. Manjaro was the only distro I've ever had give me problems. I've had co-workers call me because they can't be bothered to read compiler errors and type filepaths correctly, probably the easiest of errors to solve. It's not just normies, code monkeys can be just as incompetent.

Lots of NPCs don't actually "use" a computer, they memorize steps to get what they want. The abstract concepts common to all computers are unknown to them, meant for nerds only. They've never heard of Linux. Windows is computers to them. The two things they do for their job is computers to them. Facebook is computers to them. If something looks a way they don't expect, they panic. Actually reading what's on the screen is the last thing they'll do because computers are hard, and all the words are confusing.

The Rothschilds changing "get-apt" to "apt-get" every time I do the stupid thing
@Escoffier @merchantHelios @yockeypuck You can disable secureboot and tpm, but windows can detect that. Seem to remember seeing something about certain apps requiring these on to work properly, but that might be fake news.
Every normie I've installed Ubuntu for has loved it. Only thing is they don't know how to move it to a new PC when they upgrade machines. Hardware vendor issue, IMO
@Escoffier @merchantHelios @yockeypuck I blame Microshit and hardware vendors. The average user has no use or TPM, secureboot, or bitlocker. Reminder to all the Windows folks: write down your bitlocker key!
@merchantHelios @Escoffier @yockeypuck Back in the day, you popped in a DVD with the OS live image, hit next a couple times, and you had Ubuntu going in an hour or so. Now you gotta create a new bootable partition in windows, flash the image to it, find the bootable partition in BIOS, install OS, then delete the partition if you wanna keep secureboot and Windows happy.
@merchantHelios Good thing the corpo-overlords never push patches that brick every device receiving updates or remove features users' workflows depend on.
@merchantHelios More people don't use Linux because the concept of complete freedom is terrifying to them.

If the insurance value for your business building exceeds the price to sell the building then is playing rap music profitable?
@PNS This is why men shouldn't give them any choices at all.

@nugger @RegalBeagle @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @Spingebill warheads have a shelf life. the plutonium throws off enough of its charge that it will malfunction or not properly detonate after x number of years. reagan administration detonated thousands of small nukes to determine what this time frame was, it's a secret (~4 years). if you got nobody to spin them back up, its just storing radioactive waste.

@nugger @RegalBeagle @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @TrevorGoodchild Yeah, you're correct.
But this sector in particular the training is complicated as comes with extras not many are aware of.
You can't effectively train people until you bring them in, many are offered apprenticeship or stages in smaller companies, to familiarize with the basis of the machinery until eventually moving up the ladder into bigger companies with major responsabilities, for which they'll have to be deeply screened and vetted.
Smaller companies and subcontractors are the industry's gatekeepers.
Anyway, even to produce simple 155mm artillery shells (as finished product) you have to be vetted from the big eye, this means that factories are often understaffed (euphemism).
Don't get me started on tank's armor specifics or system's electronics, those who produce export-able products (or licensed) and those who produce the full system are on a different plan.
Obviously the latter pays better, if you can get in.
But still, is harder to move or swap entire productions with short notice, so you're, as a company, stuck with your base configuration until your laborers are allowed into the next security level to begin working on the new project, or forced to headhunt for already vetted personnel.
This process, alone, lasts months.

@InvictusManeo @Bad_Banner @IAMAL_PHARIUS @nugger @TrevorGoodchild Clearance is a whole can of worms by itself. Software side, most of the work can be done outside a SCIF, but the big contractors need to justify their existing SCIF space and aren't looking to modernize. It's the CRE crisis that's about to blow up, but in DoD contracting. This functionally limits highside software development talent to only prior military. One can get cleared another way, but 80% I saw was like this.
@Bad_Banner @Kagekokoro @disclosetv The bugpods don't seems so bad when you've only got a couple months to live before you stroke out from the clot shots while cranking it to interracial cuck porn.
