If they have an issue with copyright infringement, they should discuss with OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Anthropic and more.

And the alarm goes off means it actually starts ringing. Weird language indeed!

It's on the very first page, opposite to the office server page, and they acknowledge the Author does not exist and that it's basically an ad for Windows server.

I think this is an issue where you are talking about people coming from windows trying to do windows things on linux like run windows software. Of course you can in some cases run windows software on Linux but it is not a fair comparison to blame Linux for not being able to run windows software. Linux has it's own suite of software and that is often better suited.

I didn't say Linux just works. I'm just fighting back against the preconceived idea that it's just a total mess and windows isn't. I have myself ran into issues with linux. But also, I've run into many issues with windows too.

The difference is that when people encounter issues with windows, it's like well too bad, need to find someone who can fix it. But when they encounter an issue with Linux, it's like linux sucks, let me get back to Windows as if it didn't suck at least as much.

I don't buy the argument that windows just works or that it's somehow better or more stable. The reality is we all have grown to learn about computers specifically using windows and it's been a steep learning curve. We have gotten familiar with its specificities and its sporadic misbehavior and accepted that as the norm. And people prefer what they are used to even if it's suboptimal because they would rather not learn something else from scratch, even if in the long run it could be better.

Put any person who has zero computer experience in front of a windows computer or Linux computer and I doubt they would say the windows computer just works and the Linux one doesn't.

I've come across multiple times situations which arise from known issues leading to a worsened experience for the user. Linux cannot solve all problems, some are difficult to solve or some require solutions which may not be possible to be resolved but in any case, what the user usually misses, is that the OS identifies these situations and inform the user.

In this case, Jay would've really been off better if the user interface was able to simply inform the user of the circumstances or the limitations that it had detected.

Having long played some old CS, there was so much sense of community from connecting to a personal server instance, regularly seeing the same people, familiarize with specific rules to that server, getting to know the admin etc. I'm sure you feel a sense of community from match making, but it can definitely exist outside of matchmaking IMO.

And I'm not advertising for one over the other. But I'd be very happy to see the persistence of accessing personal servers for a game.

Oats are underrated. Dirt cheap, with calories and nutrients. Super easy and fast to cook. Can be cooked in water or milk. Can be made sweet (e.g. with apple and cinnamon, drop the sugar) or savory (e.g. curry powder, or tomato etc).

And it definitely fills your stomach.

The best insight I remember reading about questions as MFA, is to consider the answer as a password. If you use a password manager, don't feel forced to use actually true answers. The answer doesn't have to be true, you just need to know it. Use a password manager and invent answers which you store. This is so much more secure than relying on the truth.

Edit: others mention the same thing.

Perhaps of interest? I don't know how many bots you're facing.

What's that progress tracking website?

I knew of https://stopkillinggamestracker.pages.dev/ but not that one
