Pretty sure the best thing we can do w/ third-world assholes like him is ignore him. Don’t talk about it, don’t repost, don’t engage w/ his supporters - just shutdown the conversation when his name is mentioned. Only reason he has a following is because of his supporters loving to get re-actions from people.
Don’t give it to them.
What lol? They never owned the internet, more like the users loaned them their attention for years - till they really screw up which they’ve been doing as of late.
I have nothing against coming down on companies that try & do anti-competitive things & pulling an API via ridiculous pricing is one of those things I feel the FTC should have the power to intervene in but I know conservatives would scream government over reach. They already do with both smaller & bigger things.
Regardless kbin, mastodon & Fediverse are all strong responses to what’s been going on & sadly they all need to avoid inter connectivity w/ these behemoths to ensure they don’t try underhanded tactics to destroy it, ironically. Maybe when/if they get to be of similar sizes & the momentum is too great for them to destroy a competitor then connectivity btwn the 2 can be done but till then it’s not safe imho.
Why was it linking to web archive instead of the source?
Yes - we’re causing climate change but El Niño isn’t helping so I wouldn’t pretend like every year will be worse than this one - but yea it can be on the larger time scale should we not tackle climate change.
Why not just ask them to remove the self identification and leave it at that? You don’t have to say you or they got anything wrong - just that you do not want that on your file. I feel like that would be the better option and avoid any possibility of termination later for them claiming you lied to them.
Sorry but Fritos of software is dumb & in no way representative of bringing old chromebooks back to life beyond their support date.
Schools often buy the bottom baseline of everything & in now way was a 4gb of ram a good, decent or proper experience to begin w/ & their replacements probably also had 4gb of ram - just a faster cpu, gpu & ram to hide that it’s lacking ram still.
I think schools could easily band together & make their own education focused Linux distro & then just focus on hardware that’s compatible w/ that’s Chromebooks or Windows laptops. Hard part would be building out an on par MDM &/or ldap server if not using a Windows server.
All Chromebook are is a browser basically. It already is the bag of Fritos imho. I think the hard part though would be to hire an IT guy that knows Linux better than the students tbh. Schools already under pay teachers in the US & that goes 2-3x for IT staff.
