tabs versus spaces?

I think vi vs. emacs is settled since we have vim!

All very good and 100 percent accurate points. And none of this is fixable by men, other than passive avoidance, which is an unnatural situation. I've been told that I hate women just for recounting an experience.

And that's where we are. In a world where polite discussion is not permitted, where any disagreement ends up with pronouncements that you hate women, only women can fix any of this. Men are further castigated if they try.

Today, men are up against "https://everydayfeminism.com/2016/10/yes-actually-it-is-all-men/ https://holgerschueler.medium.....

Because womanism has morphed into demands that until no woman ever has any crime committed against them, then every man on the planet is guilty of all crimes against women.

And to think that disagreeing with that bit of utter, clearly stated hatred of every man on the planet will be written off as "misogyny

That is what womanism has morphed into. Pre-judgement that you are a rapist, and that you have personally committed all of the crimes ever committed against any and all women.

This attitude is red fuming nitric acid level corrosive and toxic. The ultimate expression of fear culture. And it is very damaging to young women.

They have been taught they are the designated victim, that all men want to sexually savage them, keep them from education and careers, and there are no exceptions.

Yet this is confusing. Men have stopped interacting almost altogether, are stepping away from college, and are now less educated.

In business world, men largely avoid traveling with women co-workers, and when they do, take different flights, stay in different hotels, rent different cars, and eat meals separately.

Do we even think for a minute that this is natural? Do we think women like this at all?

Do we understand why men have reluctantly accepted and adapted to the sexual apartheid state that seems to be the only possible reaction to the pre-judgement of 100 percent of us being hell bent on hurting women. That making a woman uncomfortable is a crime?

But back to the women. A women growing up with the present narrative is still sexually attracted to men, would still like a romantic partner, would still like protection against the less civilized among us.

But she lowkey hates men, as she has been taught to do, and men now largely ignore her, and stay distant. But men she sees seem to be having fun, joking around, talking about things in their lives, then go quiet when she comes near.

Welcome to the harvest of late state feminism. Which might be called Dictatorship of the designated victims. Very very confusing for her. I get Cleary act notices, a requirement that any and all "sexcrime" be reported to people like me. When it started there were notices fairly regulaly, now it is maybe one a year or less.

They do, I voted for Biden, I voted for Harris, but I wasn't happy about it.

Running Windows in a virtual machine under linux with an emulated TPM is one reasonable way to keep it relatively under control, I guess. But the graphics drivers are, shall we say, low on features.

Allow me to ask where I ever typed quota. If you need reminded of what I actually typed, it was "The goal was at least 50/50 mix" Goals are not quotas.

I don't have any idea how I can prove what the equity policy, was from that time, only it was a university environment, and there was a strong push to have a 50/50 mix. You can either believe or not believe, in which case you can just call me a liar who hates women as well. Who enforced it? And you know that there were well-qualified men who were turned down because they were men? I call BS.

Then men avoiding women in the workplace not entering into relationships, and not having children is a very good solution to how terrible men are. If no woman is ever made uncomfortable or bothered by any male, she should be quite pleased with her success. She is free of male tyranny, and can live her best life.

Here's a homework assignment for you Watch "Snapped" on the Oxygen Channel. Actual cases of women who kill their boyfriends, husbands, parents, and children. It has been on for around 20 years now, and isn't running out of cases.

Regardless, the fertility rate dropping below replacement is a major win for feminism.

And please, consider that your defense of female DV against men by using more cases of male violence is really offensive. Sorry, but anyone doing violence against their spouse or SO is a criminal, your statement is implicitly saying you consider one worse than the other. And as a man who has never raped, assaulted, or touched a woman without consent, tells me where you stand.

If you didn't believe that you would have prefaced that no person on person violence is ever acceptable.

Let me introduce you to the snowball effect. It is not necessary to be extraordinarily unlucky enough. It is only necessary to unlucky enough early in one's career that people assumed i, ii, or iv when seeing that you have a gap. this leads to relatively poor opportunities and in the course of time, more gaps and more poor opportunities. If the opportunities are poor enough (but you took them because you have to eat), they may fit your personality and strengths poorly leading to reduced performance too. Most engineers are poor at making connections anyway so that is nothing special but it does make it more difficult to climb out of a career hole. The lucky ones never have this skill tested and assume that anyone less fortunate is a poor hire.

It's an American tradition!

Add to this the nuclear family.

The nuclear family is an other depressant to birth rates. Previous configurations were multi-generational homes where grandparents were right there and could look after the kids. Society has changed. We went from packs of free ranging kids who were allowed to be bored to scheduling kids lives.

Humans had evolved to live in groups where the group would take care of the children. Now its parents pretty much only taking care of their own, duplicating that effort. No wonder everyone is exhausted. Something's gotta give.

America was degraded when healthcare require GoFundMe. America was degraded when school shootings are routine and there are entire industries spring up creating devices for schools to keep out school shooters.

Honestly, the fix is to make those billionaires at the top know they are just as human as the rest of us, and just as vulnerable.

The CEO of Five Guys burger chain had a promotion go so wildly successful that he had to give workers a bonus because he got afraid he might meet the same end as a certain healthcare CEO.

Maybe those who have a fair amount of money might want to take note of what happens when people feel they have no other options.

A lot of printers are poop. A lot of printer drivers are poop, including ones for Linux. If I want my printer to "just work" then I need to install packages. Luckily Brother produces them, and they have been doing so for years now. I've done several OS upgrades and always had new drivers available to me for them. But if they didn't do that, it would still work, I just wouldn't be able to use it via USB. My Laser PSC supports both printing and scanning via standard protocols. The only thing that wouldn't work is the on-device buttons, which I don't use anyway.

Therefore this is either user error at setup time, or user error at purchase time. That is no comfort to a home user, but we're talking about a nation here.

That is how I understood it.

what I still don't know is what the state is of the equivalent of "group policy" and automated remote management and monitoring.

There are many solutions for managing group policies and remote management tools nowadays. There's a few open source solutions like foreman and such, and many many many commercial solutions like ninja.

Honestly, any commercial 3rd party system will have Linux support because it's so mainstream it's expected.

I think the solution is just to be rich so you don't care... or don't care much.. but that's easier said than done.

The solution is like airline pricing - the price should be honored.

Not the "Oh, we can't sell you the car in the ad because it was sold, but here's a similar model that's a bit nicer (more expensive)?" Or have all the "extra upcharge" and "upsell". I just want the car you advertised the price you advertised it.

Some places are starting to have laws demanding all prices shown are inclusive drive off the lot. And none of this faffing about where they deliberately "check with the manager" when they're actually wasting half an hour of your time while they go try to sell someone else a car. Or they're being timesliced.

Buying a car shouldn't involve hours of paperwork or haggling, especially since we know it doesn't. The paperwork can be printed in minutes. You should be able to come in, drop cash and walk out with a car in maybe half an hour or less.

Maybe if more people simply walked when any dealership did these tricks they'd do less of them.

This is an issue of national importance to France, Costs don't matter.
