It’s never going to be as good as your memories of it
Another example is boot or login scripts that run on all the servers/desktops to make environment changes you can’t handle with group policy. This person is talking nonsense, they don’t know any windows admins.
Sounds to me like they chose to be helpdesk. It’s nearly impossible to be a windows admin without using PowerShell, unless you’re super old school and use vbs for everything.
They must be some pretty shitty admins then. PowerShell is essential for managing more than a handful of windows boxes. If you’re running server core (which you should be in most cases) PowerShell and rsat are the only way to manage your boxes
It is really weird, yeah. Half the commands are actual sentences. Tbf most of the common ones have shorter aliases (test-netconnection -> tnc, clear-itemproperty -> clp, get-content -> cat, etc).
The killer feature of PowerShell imo is the -WhatIf flag. I wish all shells had something like that, it’s fantastic for testing scripts without risk of damaging anything.
It wasn’t the first, no. But it was the first that was commonplace and implemented well enough that others almost immediately adopted it.
It’s the same as the iPad. Tablets existed before the ipad. Nobody bought them until apple created a market for them. It’s their biggest strength as a company.
If only windows and macos included a terminal…
That’s not a windows problem, it’s a user problem. The same scenario could play out with a shell script that modifies a hundred dotfiles. Lots of solutions on Linux help forums are “Paste this into your terminal. Don’t forget the sudo!”
As far as I’m concerned “windows key, start typing the name of the application” or “CMD+space, start typing the name of the application” is the right way to handle GUI. Apple nailed it with Spotlight and it’s vastly improved Windows and a variety of Linux DE’s
Lenovo does that too (or did 10 years ago, I haven’t touched Lenovo since). There’s actually forums full of hackers that will add your MAC address prefix to a bios dump for you for a price
Diphenhydramine is a better antihistamine than it is a sleeping pill
given how bad you think it is
I didn’t say the UK was a bad country. Please stop making things up.
What miraculous country are you from that is so free from racism?
I didn’t say my country was free from racism. Please stop making things up.
“your racist country is so bad. Don’t talk”
I didn’t say that. Please stop making things up.
Who hurt you?
Nobody. Please stop making things up.
Norway isn’t part of the EU, does that mean they are racist?
Norway wasn’t a founding member that voted to leave primarily to avoid taking in immigrants
You have to be able to handle nuanced debates though.
Easily the smuggest thing I’ve read in weeks
You’ve completely changed the topic from slurs and what isn’t acceptable to a whole piece on racism
I laughed at someone using the UK as their example of race relations done right. I laughed because it’s funny, because the UK is one of the most racist countries in the world. Slurs are not the only form of racism.
If you just want to go down the “UK all bad!”
Where are you getting this shit from? It wasn’t from my post, that’s for sure.
to make yourself feel better to protect your country and feed that nationalist indignation
Wasn’t doing that. This was all about you picking one of the worst possible countries as your example of the alternative.
Even if we ignore all the dark shit the UK did to other races in the past in the name of imperialism, we’re still talking about a country that voted to divorce itself from a mutually beneficial economic alliance because it didn’t want to be forced to let brown people move there. They may not talk about it like the Americans do but the UK is still plenty racist.
Interesting. I didn’t know Canada had their own racial slurs, I figured they imported them from the US and UK.
TF is a dogan?
UK ain’t woke, just has some acceptance that people from different backgrounds have some value
Lmao. Of all the countries to say this about.
Oh I agree. Also some of these programs are pretty important. And even the less important ones exist for a reason. I’m not necessarily against trimming the fat but it should be given more consideration than “CLOSE ALL THE THINGS!!”
ReactOS isn’t Linux. It’s an open source reimplementation of win32.
