You don’t understand. The average Windows user has no clue what a CLI even is and has certainly never edited the registry. If something isn’t working they learn to live with it or call a tech savvy friend.

Edit: Windows is like an iPhone. They work for their users’ use cases out of the box. They are for people that want to just do stuff, not tinker with technology. I never have to mess with the settings on my Windows boxes once I have them configured the way I want. Like, ever.

Cars aren’t humans.

It’s not happening to us, but it’s happening all around us and we choose not to see it. Once my own daughter began talking to me about her experiences and pointing out men’s problematic behavior in public, I can no longer not see it.

Everyone seems to forget a bunch of tech bros bought almost $1B worth of land in Solano County CA with the stated goal of building a new city. It made national headlines for a bit as the buyer was initially a mystery and it’s near Travis Air Force base so there was concern it was foreign actors.

Sometimes external actors set the date for you and it’s your job to figure out how. I worked in health care IT and heath care regulators don’t play around. You can and will be fined heavily for missing deadlines.

They weren’t fucking with the fire department. They were trying to open massive water pumps (incapable of delivering water anywhere near the fires mind you) that have the capacity to flood entire towns. If you or I did that we’d be facing terrorism charges.
