So you don’t trust me, but you trust McAfee to give it full control over the system. Yet my software doesn’t work because something is blocked and nothing is showing up in the logs. But when we take off Mafee, it works. So clearly McAfee is not logging everything. And you trust Mcafee but not me? /s kinda.

As far as I can tell, the whole thing was praising the dad.

Well, you’re supposed to make out with a puffer fish if you want to breath longer.

Honestly I worry about the use of ChatGPT on programmers. Training your eyes and brain to see things takes time. I know the suits just want production but I’d rather have better programmers.

Of course, I could just be old.

The trick is to get project managers to automatically pad you time.

These scientists aren’t schmoozing for a paycheck. Research is expensive. They’re getting funding for equipment and personnel.

I’m sorry, but this has nothing to do with capitalism. If we were under a king, you’d still have to schmooze the king. Socialism may give you money to feed yourself, but it won’t pay you to do science. An economic system doesn’t prevent you from needing interpersonal skills.

No sure if you mean government agencies but if you do, there’s definitely oversight. Don’t think that your Congress peoples aren’t in on it too.

Subsidized cost effectiveness.

You can easily tell if you did something wrong with Towers of Hanoi.

I think they dumb down messaging too much. But then again, with what we know now, it’s not like the public is behaving responsibly. But thats not a messaging problem.

The 2 party political system flies in the face of basic individualism.

Masks are more effective in protecting others if you are sick, rather than protecting yourself if others are sick. We should have the attitude that protecting others is good.

Helpdesk? You guys are like the people who have to go and fix a melting nuclear reactor. Necessary but only do it for like a year or two otherwise you get broken.

I run Linux on my desktop

Oauth2 is being used as well as 2FA. We’re not breaking any of that. My local email server will be running on company equipment. I already have ITs approval on this.

I’ve always used multiple email clients. Mutt or mu4e for organization and tasking. OWA for quick emails and the calendar. Since we’ve gone to 2FA, that all stopped until I found davmail. OWA search is really bad, compared to mu or not much anyway.

I want a central server. I don’t want to do mbox again.

Yup, its already setup. I’ve currently got mutt running with a davmail middle, but its slow. A long time ago, we just had IMAP enabled and I used mbsync for a while with a local mbox. But it slowly turned into a mess. Since then we’ve enabled 2FA on O365 and so far I’ve only gotten davmail to work.

If Linus “flamed” me, I’m putting it on my resume.

I see you are a programmer.
