Oh the irony:

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"`

Underrated comment.

I've used PowerShell in Windows for the past 15 years. Following dozens of steps in a GUI is not required.

I also use Linux, with bash and Python for automation. I've also grown to love NixOS for its automation options.

Both operating systems feature rich automation options. Both have ClickOps oriented interfaces for those that want it or are unwilling to learn to automate / use a CLI.

Doing ClickOps is a choice and a mindset, not a requirement of Windows. Using a CLI in Linux is not a requirement depending on the distro or your use case.

I have never had a desire to explore the numerous cultivars or varieties of tomatoes to determine if one was not going to make me vomit. Blind testing seems like a masochistic exercise now that I think of it.

With your description though, I might try a Budyonovki tomato (I assume Budenovka / Будёновка) if I am ever presented with one.

Thank you for the tip.

You assume this is about taste.

In my case, when the texture of tomatoes touches the inside of my mouth I get the urge to vomit. When I was forced to eat them as a child, I literally ended up puking. The taste of Cherokee purple tomatoes will not change that.

A similar thing happens with egg plants, water mellons, and similar 'squishy' textures.

The taste of tomato paste, or ketchup? Love it.

Your SO and I are not the same.

You just made me realize the Zoomers are actually much closer to making Warhammer 40k a reality. IT engineers are like Tech Priests to these Zoomers.

What are they going to do, put up a sign that says "don't let in frikineh@lemmy.world"?

Also, fuck cancer. (Cancer vaccines may be next, the end of the article.)

I went through the comments to check if someone hadn't already mentioned exactly this. Here you go.

I have used PowerShell since its inception, and still believe that the Monad manifesto is very relevant. However in recent years I have switched to Python for this same reason.

It's more widely available, especially outside of Windows it already has greater support for advanced features. PowerShell is not a first class contemporary to Python on Linux.

Quite easy to learn. A lot of default learn materials, tutorials, examples.

You'll also be able to find people in market with Python experience more readily (especially going forward) if you need to hire talent for your company.

Just to point something out here.

The thing you had to get off your chest was a depressing and negative bit of content, about how negative and depressive all the content on lemmy is.

If this was a meta-troll post, well done!

Or I don't know, "if it burns, we can destroy it".

In case somebody needed a reminder of this today, there are in fact: 💡💡💡💡

 

Seems like a relevant post to the community here. I like how the author goes into a list of alternatives, with reasoning.

I am not the author.

I found this blog to have both a short summary of the reasons as well as a pretty complete overview of the options for protecting against this specific threat model. I can just send this to people and they'll understand the why and the how.
