    Personally, I don’t want to associate with him because of his catastrophic levels of racism, mostly because there is better, clearer proof of it.

    In 1976 Bowie stated in a Playboy interview that, “Britain is ready for a fascist leader… I think Britain could benefit from a fascist leader. After all, fascism is really nationalism… I believe very strongly in fascism, people have always responded with greater efficiency under a regimental leadership…Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars…You’ve got to have an extreme right front come up and sweep everything off its feet and tidy everything up.”

    He kind of took it back later but it wasn’t “I apologise I was wrong” type, it was more of a “I was in love with magic of nazism before but now I don’t love it anymore”, which is one ukulele away from the worst apology ever

    That’s a lot of assumptions you’re making.
    There are more people who are only experts in one ecosystem than in both. I only know something about Windows console because I worked as a sysadmin 15 years ago, but most of my colleagues didn’t and even I will not for the life of me remember cls, and I don’t think it’s bizzare.






  • Yeah, but the thing is, I’m not really afraid about anyone else. If someone steals my laptop or finds it or whatever, I don’t really care about what they do with my docker cache. And I’m not a target of any particular hacker group. I just feel dirty when corpos train their LLM on my data to sell me useless shit back, so that’s kind of the only thing that I would like to avoid.




  • Contrary to other comments, it’s actually pretty common and easy to install Linux alongside Windows, if you have a harddrive big enough for both. If you want to have both installed, it is recommend to start with Windows because Linux boot loader can recognise Windows partition and integrate it with no problem. And Linux natively supports ntfs so you can seamlessly access all your files absolutely no problem. But if it’s your first time installing Linux it’s easy to mess up and kill the windows partition if you aren’t good with terminology yet, so backing up all your files is not just recommended but straight up required.
