Bingo.

It’s what all governments have been trying to do for decades.

It’s part of why they’ve been trying to get rid of cash.

And it’s a lot harder to effectively enforce or combine with other services, such as ID, etc, because 50 states.

Fed can only do so much, and it only takes one state fighting it to cause it to fail or at least become bogged down.

And the messed up thing is they both are pronounced opposite to the spelling.

You’d think “loose” would have the longer O sound, but “lose” does. 🤦

🤦

Exactly.

People asking this question have their own definition, which is why “isms” are tools to drive wedges between people.

Additionally, focusing on the president is excusing congress from doing their fucking job.

For the last 30/40 years they’ve basically sat back and said “let the president do whatever - he’ll take the heat and not us”.

So for OP - there are 500 assholes in Congress not doing their fucking job, so maybe focus on getting your rep/senator out and someone in who will do their job.

Until the apathy of congress changes, nothing will change.

Mint requires running a terminal command to disable the stupid printer notification.

It also doesn’t support Logitech mice out of the box, you have to search for the solution, which is a third party app to support a 10 year old (or brand new) mouse.

Stop acting like it’s a direct swap and people will be less hesitant to switch.

Be open and honest that not everything is an easy transition, there will be hiccups, and there may be some things for which an easy solution simply doesn’t exist.

If you use Excel every day, switching is likely not pragmatic, as the OSS solutions simply don’t compare yet and will always fall short if you use tables (about 90% of the spreadsheets I’ve ever been sent).

Also, did you even listen to OP? Linux isn’t an option. Wow.

Just pull the network cable/disable wifi

Yes

Also, it’s “apart”

Oh, damn, that “user quality” metric is really messed up

Strawman much?

Nothing in HyperV makes any sense. It’s fucking awful.

You know it can’t do templates or create Clones like VMWorkstation could fifteen years ago?

Bookmarking this to see where they are in 10 years.

God, I’m sorry you had to use Hyper-V.

As challenging as Proxmox is for someone new to it, it’s so much better than Hyper-V.

What?

You ask a rep. Or simply go look at your states budget.

Well, your last paragraph kinda defines engagement. And low-effort posts mostly don’t get any engagement.

Where are you installing it for her, PC or router?

What OS is she running? Router?

What other remote tools do you have available?

I mean you’ve given us nothing to work with.

Frankly I’d just use Tailscale.

Know who I take seriously? Someone who speaks competently.

Smartphones have been a thing since at least 2006 (actually earlier), and commonplace since at least 2010.

I haven’t seen a T9 phone since then.

Maybe before about 2008 when smartphones became ubiquitous.

To see it today is annoying, especially since auto correct wants to make it “you”.

They’re as good as anyone else.

Guess you won’t have a defense attorney if you’re ever wrongly accused then?
