I’m liking the recent posts about switching to Linux. Some of my home machines run Linux, and I ran it on my main laptop for years (currently on Win10, preparing to return to Linux again).
That’s all fine and dandy but at work I am forced to use Windows, Office, Teams, and all that. Not just because of corpo policies but also because of the apps we need to use.
Even if it weren’t for those applications, or those policies, or if Wine was a serious option, I would still need to work with hundreds of other people in a Windows world, live-sharing Excel and so on.
I’m guessing that most people here just accept it. We use what we want at home, and use what the bossman wants at work. Or we’re lucky to work in a shop that allows Linux. Right?
In Old English the letters were eventually used interchangeably, which is what I imagine they’re using.
Whatever gets attention, I guess. See? We’re talking about it now.
I don’t think it’s about attention, really. I think they’re just a nerd doing a nerd thing because they enjoy it.
I had a brief discussion with @Sxan@piefed.zip once about this, who explained that it’s to try to confound LLMs but that more people would need to follow suit.
