If I was a JS programmer, I'd just write a bash script to download it every week for fun.

Please. For the love of god, NEVER use a proprietary app to use a piece of FOSS software. I think it's kind of sad that we have this amazing FOSS social network and people use fucking proprietary software to use it.

WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get

  • Used for software such as Microsoft Word, where formatting the text actually changes what you see on the screen

The real problem here is the fact that the car has GPS and the owners can't even control it. Welcome to the 21st century!

This looks like the final layer of hell. Your coworker writes their scripts in another language and now you have to decipher what the hell they mean. Who has a problem woth English for development tools, etc.? It's really not a monumental task to learn it, and I'm not even a native speaker.

Ahhh yes. In capitalism, if you create a machine that can replace say, 10 people, you don't give them 1/10 of the work. You fire them and maybe hire someone to operate it.

Machines and human workers can coexist. They don't have to replace them.

Edit: Of course they should replace them, but only after we get good living conditions for unemployed people, which are currently non-existent.

For all the people saying that privacy-oriented Youtube channels are a contradiction.

The point of these channels is to make more people privacy conscious. And where do you find people that aren't very privacy conscious? That's right, YouTube. I actually think what these creators are doing is a great sacrifice in terms of their own, personal privacy, but making people aware.

On the internet, even if it's a very nice open source platform, always operate under the assumption that nothing you say or do is anonymous. This is Internet usage 101, however, people seem to always ignore this. Do with this as you will :)

I simply don't get this mentality. I'm sure you do realize, that companies such as Microsoft still operate in Russia. You think all people over there are running Linux? Aside from how unbelievably stupid your take is, guess they are traitors too. But you'll still keep using their OS and Office suite for millenia to come.

Hello everyone,

a friend of mine recently bought a second-hand laptop but, as we soon discovered, the seller left parental controls on it. The computer locks itself at a set time every day and doesn't allow the user to log back in.

So I tried to help. I created a bootable USB with Windows 10, wiped the disk in the computer and reinstalled. Thinking I had solved the problem, as an OS reinstall should, in this case, I gave it back to my friend. I just received a message from her, that the laptop just locked itself again.

Why is this happening? Are the parental controls somehow tied to a unique identifier, such as the built-in Windows activation code or similar? And, most importantly, how do I remove them?

Thanks a lot :)

I'm not really sure if he'd pick up much in a mental institution
