Finally, after twenty years, the power of the Taborites was broken with the Battle of Lipany on 30 May 1434, during which 13,000 of the 18,000-strong army of Taborites and Sirotci, led by Prokop Holý, were overwhelmingly defeated by the united Catholic forces. Under the weight of this defeat, the Sirotci’s union completely disappeared. Many of the leading Taborite commanders fell in battle, including the leading priest Prokop Holý.
Jan Roháč and his faithful fortified at his castle Zion, which was soon conquered and all the surviving defenders were hanged in the Old Town Square of Prague.

The availability of a replacement with a permissive license allows businesses to use it without giving anything back to the community.
What this leads to in the long run is open source projects starved for resources, and businesses pouring their dev time only into their own business-specific forks, without sharing their code upstream.

You didn’t state a differing opinion.
You asked a loaded question, insinuating something @somegeek@programming.dev didn’t say.

Slackware (unironically)

It’s a…mail notification??
You’re complaining that Wayland sucks cause it isn’t backwards compatible with your favorite desktop widget?
OK.

X was broken as fuck and held together by duct tape and zip ties, as long as no one looked at it wrong.

No rule to make target 'legal'. Stop.  

After 2 drinks:
“See, this is what’s so great about ratpoison:…”

Why has no one invented fluffy touch screens, yet?
Touch feedback would be a vibrating purr.

I run Slackware, which also needs compilation for additional software.
Not for me, but for my cat.

RECITE THE INSTALLATION GUIDE, NOW!

I work in IT support.
A solid 80% of all issues magically disappear the second I show up.
There’s a very simple explanation for it – Clarke’s Fourth Law:
Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.

It’s the whole reason why IT wizards are exempt from the usual office dress code.
The long hair, beards and flowing robes (or baggy pants and XXXL T-shirts) are vital parts of the ritual.

Slackware on S Tier.
Yep, this list is truth.

TIL as a normal Ubuntu user, you don’t get quick and high-quality security updates.

“We can’t send e-mails farther than 500 miles”

The one where OneDrive moves all your data to the cloud without asking, then warns you you’re running out of cloud storage space, and when you then disable it, it deletes your stuff from the cloud without moving it back to your disk.
That one’s good fun for the whole family!

Or the one where OneDrive in its default config uploads your Documents folder to the cloud.
And Outlook 2019 in its default configuration stores the .pst file containing your e-mails in the Documents folder.
And Outlook .pst files get corrupted when you access them from inside OneDrive.
So a default MS Office install can corrupt your e-mails if you click “yes” on everything Microsoft “recommends”.

Somehow, photo evidence of UFOs and Bigfoot has completely disappeared since everyone has a high resolution camera in their pocket.

Do donuts?

Then your IT has blocked use of the terminal and store for your account.
Which makes sense for regular users to reduce the chance of fuck-ups and rise of a shadow IT.
This isn’t a Microsoft issue (except for the slightly unspecific error message).
