Yes, exactly.

Theft loss.

You’re right. Here’s the difference though. With “piracy” they can estimate how many copies have been “stolen” and deduct that from their taxable income.

Most jobs I’ve had in the last 15 years have asked me if I want a Max or Windows PC. I’ve had Linux boxes at most of them as well, but not as the primary machine.

I get up, let out the dogs & chickens. Bring the dogs back in & feed the cats and dogs. I have coffee, then I go to my office. I’ve been working from home since 2010 and I’ll never go back to an office situation.

Edit: New England, in the US

It’s in the app store. You don’t have to do that. If you’re talking about the server, that’s pretty easy.

Yeah, that’s a big limitation.

Oracle is awesome in this one specific way. They suck in all other ways but this is really good.

You’ve sent me down a nostalgia road with your mention of Populous. Here’s what I found, and I’ll be digging into tomorrow.

Yeah. 2 things stop piracy, a fair price and quality content. We don’t have either.

I’m not against it but what games are available on android? Everything I want to play is on Steam.

Mr. Pibb needs to be one below Dr. Pepper. It’s the knockoff but it’s decent

I got a digital camera that only took blurry pictures. This was Merrill Lynch in the 2000’s.

I have to walk down to my basement office. It’s rough, sometimes there’s traffic as a cat might be walking down too. They like to stop and slow things down.

Seriously, just set up a kms in docker. Google pykms.

Being able to rotate or mirror an image.

I first found out about this from Slackware Linux. I really want to see that documentary.

During setup, tell it you want to join a domain. This brings you to local account creation. Way easier than what the article says. They keep moving that around to make it harder to find though.

I use portainer, and when I deploy an image, I write a short bash script for it.

• stop the image if running
• pull the image
• run the image

This lets me easily do updates. I have a script for each image I run, it’s less than a dozen. They’re all from public repositories.

For most things, Linux just works. There are specialized apps like cad packages, graphic design and such that are very problematic on Linux but most of it is fine. Just look at how successful Chromebooks are. They’re all Linux.
