I teach boomers how to use SharePoint. Last week Microsoft updated office.com to be 95% copilot. The only way to find “All Apps” (word, SharePoint, PowerPoint, excel, etc.) is to find the tiny little “apps” button all the way at the bottom of the screen.

Everything else is copilot. Everyone is confused and my job just got 100% harder.

Ya but reversing the pitch takes effort that most people won’t go to.

This individual for position of authority! I endorse this.

My French wife can’t take ChatGPT seriously because of this lmao

I can tell you right now that something like a username and password is exceptionally difficult for most users. Many just have one password for every single application and if they need to use a different email or password, they will be stuck.

The vast overwhelming majority of users do not have password managers, do not know they exist, and will give up at the first sign of complexity. You’re too far into the weeds if you don’t conceptualize this.

The overall vast majority of everyone is completely tech illiterate. We can blame them for their lack of tech skills all we want but that won’t change anything. Jellyfin needs a better UX before it’s feasible to use over Plex when sharing libraries with other users.

Me, an XPlane boi. Quietly flying with my Lua scripts.

You’re right. There’s absolutely no evidence of Trump being not of sound mind.

Great minds think alike

Now this is podracing

Thank you for this. It’s beautiful.

Highly specialized people live in bubbles and assume that everyone else lives in their same bubble and so if someone else doesn’t understand, they aren’t worth communicating with.

In my experience, all the Linux documentation I have read has been written for peers of Linux developers, who are familiar with technical terminology and several concepts and steps are left out and implied rather than explained.

It’s a way for developers to ensure that Linux never receives adoption past other developers. Literary equivalent of pulling the ladder up.

For me it’s because Nextcloud also has a mobile app and it’s easy to transfer files between my iPhone and my server and other computers.

I can even create public folders easily so I can share data with people I give the link to.

I’ve been self hosting Nextcloud for over a year now. Fantastic. It’s like OneDrive. Syncs all my files on my computers so I’ve got multiple backups on different machines with one central location (the server running Nextcloud).

Tons of plugins and documentation, so any errors you may have are easily fixed. Haven’t had it mess up on me once. It just works.

By this logic, would su root be like breaking off the safety???

I love chmod 777. It’s like not wearing a condom. It’s more convenient and feels so much better and I’m definitely gonna get a bug or something eventually. Yolo.

Worst transparent png ever.
