try googling "cannot connect to windows app" instead of "cannot connect to windows remote desktop"

had a teacher traumatize and humiliate me for four years.

I contemplated suicide at 12 years old.

Luckily I found strength in my spite and hatred for her to push forward.

last I heard, her husband died of colon cancer, she lost the farm and her house, and her only son turned out to be gay (they were "Christians").

I still remember her nasty mustache and shitty attitude, and will always remember her.

I'm doing good in my life, better than her.

there's only one other person who I hate more and I'm eagerly waiting to toast to their deaths.

they are literally the only people I could never forgive.

before you pass judgment ask yourself this, "who tells a bullied overweight 12 year old who is clearly having home problems that they need to 'lose some weight' and they won't 'be so fat'. 'who knows, you might not be such a loser like your father.'

are you happy with how you are?

I used a thin client, HP T610+, and installed Windows XP POS.

this is a point-of-sale version of windows xp that's basically XPSP3. it comes with Ethernet, WiFi, touchscreen drivers, etc. works really well actually.

I firewalled it from internet access and allowed my kid to surf the intranet I host along with standard 90s 00s kids software.

• reader rabbit
• Disney interactive games
• encarta 98

I also used a kid keyboard that deviates from the typical 102 keyboard. no function keys etc.

you could do the same with an old x86 laptop too, recommend using a dual core CPU if possible though.

to ensure nothing is broken, I used software called deepfreeze from Faronics. it freezes the system and restores the system after reboots. just to make it clear, this means any changes to the "c" drive will not be permanent.

to keep the save files I used a some batch scripts/shortcut trickery and re/store them from the NAS when the apps start and end.

in the end it's sitting in my tech closet after my eldest lost interest after a year. Now I'm waiting for my youngest to break it out again.

do people still write those?

they shouldn't.

People have this idea that law is just like computer code. You make one single definition and then build laws, like a mathematical edifice, around that definition.

That's pretty much the fucking definition of a law.

Law is a set of rules that are created and are enforceable by social or governmental institutions to regulate behavior, with its precise definition a matter of longstanding debate. It has been variously described as a science and as the art of justice.

-- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law (look it up elsewhere and the definition is almost word for word the same)

They think that if the law uses one definition in one place, it must use that definition in all places. They think the law works like a computer program or a physics equation. Change the constant and changes cascade through.

Laws are rules that are worded specifically to match criteria to ensure that the spirit of the law can be maintained and served to protect the public. the interpretation of a law can change once a precedent can be set, but that law is still the rule until it's been amended.

you're being disingenuous and ambiguous in your understanding of law or you're just playing the fool to serve your point.

either way you look like an ass and are too arrogant to be using that much confidence in your conviction.

your are the definition of "confidently incorrect".

haha! yeah!

like who doesn't know what a sure is ᵐᵃʸ ᴵ ᶜᵒᵐᵉ ᶦⁿ?

how about an accountant?

wouldn't you be if you spent 25 years hearing Windows admins preaching about how much better windows is than Linux?

I mean, I'm bitter AF about it and give the MS vendors a good ribbing now and again.

If Windows was so great, why would WSL even be needed? unless their whole plan was to attempt to interfere with the Linux market and tempt people who left to come back.

too bad they went full psycho with 11.

because all wars are a war of attrition. the country with the largest military or the deepest pockets always wins.
