Don’t be a gatekeeper, open computing is for everyone.
Especially in a terminal, it absolutely sounds like it to them.
A lot of users associate the terminal with “hacking” due to movies.
You haven’t worked directly with users in an IT setting and it shows. You greatly overestimate the average user’s technical abilities and ability to care.
I walked in on a user holding a power bar in one hand and the USB end of a mouse in the other while responding to a “mouse not working” ticket.
I’ve witnessed a user waving a wired desk phone around in the air to get better signal because they were complaining of poor call quality.
I visited a user who was panicking that their outlook messages were all getting deleted before their own eyes, not noticing that their monitor mounted on arms had fallen on their laptop’s delete key, holding it down.
I’ve seen how deep the rabbit hole of user inability goes. It’s not pretty.
Also don’t forget that most terminals paste on Ctrl + Shift + V by default, which is an extra hurdle they have to get over if they’re used to the standard paste shortcut. They won’t think to right-click to paste, and they’ll get frustrated and think the terminal is broken.
Removing an appendix is just a couple incisions and suturing.
This is what you and I sound like to the average computer user. Most kids don’t know what a file is.
Finally, I was wondering what was up with the lackluster secureboot support.
Not for 2025, sorry.
My phone has 16 GB of RAM, 3 GB is ridiculous, especially with the modern web.
Quit edging me, I can only be so erect
Stop using AI to generate images. It’s obvious, it looks awful, and companies are genuinely looking to use it to stop having to pay human artists.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll look into it!
Could I automate the upgrades?
With good backups, rollbacks in case of issues should be trivial.
It’s not ready for most people unfortunately
Debian testing is ok for newer hardware, if you’re more technically inclined.
People are afraid of what they do not understand. This still holds true here.
And fear leads to hate.
This will be a nothing burger in 6 months
And those same people will often also refuse to pay for services.
It’s a pay or become the product world out there, site hosting ain’t free.
Gotta love circular reporting.
Correct, this two-sided discourse is due to a massive lack of communication on Mozilla’s part, leaving room for speculation.
You’re an idiot, go back to macOS you fucking normie
(/s, I’m also waiting for TPM encryption + user home encryption)
