For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

i get it. It just pisses me off to no end when people bring up genuine issues and people go "oh but you can just unplug the fuckin ethernet" yeah and why do we need to fucking unplug it again?

I mean yeah i could just not install a shitty piece of software like windows, given my linux user nature, i should do that, but here i am trying to be reasonable, and people keep yelling at me, because apparently i dont know that "well uhm ackshually"

like the guy who responded to my comment with "well just use a fake email if you REALLY have to" like yeah, that's cool, im sure there are other ways of doing that too. That was not the point of my comment though.

Ventoy is pretty cool, not what i was talking about though, woeusb iirc, really slick little script. Used it for a win 7 iso ages ago.

People having to work with Microsoft stuff (not just windows) have gotten so used to needing to find workarounds for everything that those genuine issues have become the baseline expectation.

Only having to fill in a wrong email/password a few times sounds like peak user experience compared to the shit I have to pull in Azure/Power BI/AD at times. My genuine first reaction when reading that post was "ah of course, that makes sense".

Personally I use Linux for server/container stuff wherever possible. With the occasional excursion into Manjaro to see what's happening on the desktop side.

see i think this is the primary difference here. If i were to open azure and see anything even remotely like that i would immediately stop using it and find something better. I simply don't have time for bullshit like this, especially when i can just pay someone else less money, for something more primitive, that works more effectively for me anyway.
