    I used it once to download Firefox.

    You will be judged harshly. Next time just use an install file on a USB, you know, like someone who isn’t a shit eating corporate shill greedily guzzling the pendulous dong of microsoft, you piece of shit. I hate you and you deserve to be hated. Do better. Fuck.

    /s, just in case…

    Yeah we are too. But for some strange reason the policy I deleted from my account appears to have been deleted from my account. Goodness knows how that happened.

    It's so stupid though we have some SAP modules that actually require Internet Explorer because they're super duper old and have never been updated. So there are quite a few users that don't actually have to follow that policy.

    Unfortunately, my workplace stuck on Windows due to specific software we utilize. We're not bound to any browsers tho. I find it cool that our sysadmins use only Firefox. (Maybe not anymore with how Mozilla began to push AI in their browser.)

    Hey now, you've got to use something to download Firefox on a brand new windows install.

    I’m running distro installs on perfectly set-up rigs and customizing the bios just to feel normal. I installed Wine and Proton on my Pebble just because I could. The other day I blew a guy so that I could talk to him about start-up efficiency and convince him to take an Arch boot drive from me that he promised to install on his 2008 dell mini PC. I told him it would run Skyrim!

    Learn from my mistakes. Linux… not even once.

    Sucking data out of an ethernet cable isn't normal. But on Linux it is.

    But seriously, did it run?

    I mean, there were a few extra installs and whatnot, but hell yeah it worked, because that’s Linux, baby.

    Edit: The part about the 2008 dell mini pc is inspired by true events, but it was mint, not arch, I don’t fuck with arch. And with some tweaking it did run skyrim.
