Why is it a good thing that people can’t enjoy the games they like on Linux?

That’s nice.

Lemmy has nothing but time.

Isn’t Lemmy decreasing in numbers?

The reason that most companies don’t want you to do that is because they don’t want people running around installing their own OS and doing whatever they feel like on company devices.

Letting people do that would be an IT and information security nightmare.

It’s the same reason that no (sane) company would give local admin privileges to everyone.

The reason why companies generally don’t have an official way to use Linux is because it’s hard to support two platforms simultaneously. Especially when you have, certificate and/or AD network authentication for wireless and wired like we do. You also need to consider how the two platforms should interact with each other. For example Linux devices should be able to connect to the AD domain with Kerberos and need to be able to access SMB shares and probably other systems.

In short it’s more complicated than “just let me try”.

I am a Windows admin but two of my colleagues who are Linux admins use Linux machines that are running Ubuntu+a few internal tweaks to make it better fit us. The Linux platform is developed primarily by one of the developers at the company and some others (primarily developers) also use Linux. The vast majority of the company uses Windows.

There are also a few hundred Macs.

I have been considering getting our flavour of Linux installed on a VM or maybe even dual booting for testing.

That applies to most of the drama surrounding Linux.

Spammers ruined this not email companies.

Suggest a country then

As they said the app needs ongoing maintenance.

It’s not free if you bought it, lol.

Fucking hell, that’s a lot of money.

I just bought a P1S but I don’t plan on buying an AMS because they cost so much.

Sure, but I’m just curious because of course a very cheap model is very cheaply constructed.

Also comparing cans to machined aluminium is pretty weird when they are completely different.

What model?

It sounds like a really cheap model.

Do you also backup the files externally? If not you shouldn’t consider them backed up.

Self employed*

Also consider the fact that they are making money from going to those places, so they don’t necessarily have to be wealthy. Oh and plane tickets are actually pretty cheap. It’s the hotels that cost ya.

Haha, yeah 16 is actually pretty long.

I guess I’m just used to being forced 16 characters long passwords at long.

Consider shortening your passwords. Random passwords longer than 20 characters is a complete waste of time.

And in this case you want death!

The main cost is probably the extra workload put on their social media team having to publish to and interact with even more platforms.

While it’s nice, I also don’t think the government should spend time and money on a platform that people obviously don’t use much.

Food isn’t addictive in the same way alcohol or other drugs are though.
