Can confirm that Windows Server is taught in school IT programs, and can confirm that Windows Server is still being used for both Active Directory and on-premises virtualization (Hyper-V). I interned at a large international organization with networks on 6 continents and it was moving its server infrastructure back to its own datacenters because of rising costs of cloud hosting. It used Hyper-V on Windows Server to host every thing.

And yet, half of my website is hosted on Azure Storage. That little unsolicited remark about Microsoft’s valuation at the bottom is clearly the result of smoking too much copium by the biased author.

Perhaps there is a tonal message in your words that you didn’t intend (your native language seems to be German?). This paragraph comes across as dismissing my comment while making a sweeping, inaccurate, and baseless judgment that I “distrust any media that contradicts my beliefs:”

But by you talking about “the media” I guess you are trying to find reasons to further your already present distrust in any media that contradicts your beliefs?

Hard to see how that couldn’t be meant as, at best, a passive-aggressive dig, implying some level of instability or paranoia.

“The media” is a common term in American English that refers to mainstream news outlets. I said I felt gaslit because the early headlines and articles on this topic suggested that names were made visible, not that they were merely added to accounts.

Regardless, there is no call for personal attacks. I’m sure you can find the maturity to respond to comments you disagree with in ways that don’t involve attacking the users who post them.

Lol not sure why the somewhat gratuitous character attack there, but whatever.

I went to my Glassdoor account and the only place I could see my name was in the community part, where people ask questions of other professionals. Some users still seemed to have their names hidden, so it must be possible to do so. My company reviews are still anonymous.

I honestly can’t find any evidence that what the media are saying is happening is actually happening. I feel gaslit tbh lol

Latter-day Saints were some of the earliest white settlers of Las Vegas, if you can believe it.

To be honest, it just sounds like you have an unnecessary chip on your shoulder.

Sounds like a bit of a desperate reach to attach the EEE label to this.

The GPU module is actually an industry standard created by… Dell, I think? So that, at least, is technically non-proprietary.

Either way, Framework has been open about specs and has encouraged a cottage industry of third party bespoke mods and modules for its laptops. I wouldn’t worry to much about that.

Not everything that is labeled organic is USDA Organic.

Oh, thanks for pointing that out. It’s been a while since I needed to erase a disk so I didn’t realize DBAN isn’t really a thing anymore.

You could also use DBAN to perform the erasure from outside the operating system.

I’m not sure it’s correct to call Discord spyware, but it certainly has privacy implications. https://nerdbot.com/2023/02/24/using-discord-consider-these-security-and-privacy-factors/

The problem is convincing other people to switch as well. There’s no point in me using Matrix if all of the people I want to communicate with only want to use Discord.

too much money

That’s the rub. There’s a LOT of money on the table.

It may be too late to turn this ship around, but there are a few things that, at least for me, would make YouTube ads less of a problem:

1. Vet all the ads. Do not allow links to malware sites, scams, or low-quality merchandise and services to be on the platform.
2. Make the ads less annoying. Don’t stick them into weird spots on a video.
3. Stop tracking me and trying to display targeted ads. I value my privacy, and like OP, I am never going to click an ad.

1. Israel didn’t kick the Arabs out, Britain did.

2. Jews are the original inhabitants of the Land of Israel. A more correct analogy would be a bunch of Aztecs walking into Mexico City, being granted a small part of it by Mexico, and then Mexico forcibly evicting all non-Aztecs from that area.

There’s nothing colonial about Israel. If anything, it is a reclamation of a displaced people of its original land. It has attempted repeatedly to compromise with the Palestinians, but nothing short of genocide against it appeals to them. They have outright rejected all attempts at political compromise, even though Israel was originally under no obligation to compromise with them.
