Israel don’t need nukes. They have one of the most advanced and well funded militaries in the entire world.

That would be great, but how exactly? Banning religions that encourage/forces it?

The only reason I could see is to highly educate everyone but that’s way easier said than done.

Yes of course but recording a private conversation has been legal before and I couldn’t find any good indications that it has changed under the GDPR.

The law essentially says that it’s illegal to record or listen to private conversations which you aren’t a part of using technical instruments.

So it’s legal to press your ear against a wall but it’s illegal to use any tech to listen/record to anything.

Yeah it varies. In my country you only need to participate in the conversation to be allowed to record it.

You can also film or photograph anyone you feel like in public as long as they aren’t in a place where privacy is expected like a bathroom or something like that. In general you can record and upload all day long.

The law is much stricter on surveillance cameras.

That’s nice.

Lemmy has nothing but time.

Isn’t Lemmy decreasing in numbers?

FYI with many routers, switches, and firewalls there are ways to automatically rollback changes in case the device is unreachable after applying them. Usually the command is called something like “Rollback”.

You usually supply a time limit when you run the command and if you don’t confirm the changes before that time limit it will rollback. So if you run rollback 30 and then do something which breaks the network connection, the config will rollback in 30 seconds. If it does work, you simply cancel the rollback.

The reason that most companies don’t want you to do that is because they don’t want people running around installing their own OS and doing whatever they feel like on company devices.

Letting people do that would be an IT and information security nightmare.

It’s the same reason that no (sane) company would give local admin privileges to everyone.

The reason why companies generally don’t have an official way to use Linux is because it’s hard to support two platforms simultaneously. Especially when you have, certificate and/or AD network authentication for wireless and wired like we do. You also need to consider how the two platforms should interact with each other. For example Linux devices should be able to connect to the AD domain with Kerberos and need to be able to access SMB shares and probably other systems.

In short it’s more complicated than “just let me try”.

I am a Windows admin but two of my colleagues who are Linux admins use Linux machines that are running Ubuntu+a few internal tweaks to make it better fit us. The Linux platform is developed primarily by one of the developers at the company and some others (primarily developers) also use Linux. The vast majority of the company uses Windows.

There are also a few hundred Macs.

I have been considering getting our flavour of Linux installed on a VM or maybe even dual booting for testing.

What the hell are you talking about‽

I just wanted to know if trump has made some more stupid statements. I had just not heard of any attacks on artists and wanted to know more.

Yeah, I know. I asked about artists though.

Is trump planning to round up artists?

That applies to most of the drama surrounding Linux.

Spammers ruined this not email companies.

Suggest a country then

Well no shit it’s not great.

It’s still pretty damn impressive that you can buy smartphones for that cheap at all.

If you just want to be aware, you could often read the headlines for free or follow news sites like Reuters, AFP, or AP.

They are primarily wire news companies and are a great way to get reliable, truthful and often free news. If you want to read longer articles, you should pay if you want to have articles to read in the future.

Folding plastic bags seems annoying though.

You think it’s cheaper to spend money doing a tax write off of some of the spent money, than to not just spend the money in the first place?

Sure, but I’m just curious because of course a very cheap model is very cheaply constructed.

Also comparing cans to machined aluminium is pretty weird when they are completely different.
