Fi 🏳️⚧️Hey so,
This windows recall thing?
Enables domestic abuse.
Like, flat-out.
This 'feature' means that someone in an abusive relationship now has a canonized part of the OS monitoring their activities that can be then invoked and studied by the abuser.
Ain't no amount of -group policy- bullshit gonna fix this,
because Microsoft -doesn't allow- the granularity of administration required to defuse this for non-corporate users.
"Use Linux" is not an appropriate response.
People do not always have the agency to choose their operational environment and you cannot fix structural unsafety with individual choice.
This is not a jape nor a joke, and I am not willing to countenance this as an argument.
Do not perpetuate abusive situations by blaming a victim for the environment they are in.
Annie@munin the energy spent on advertising Linux in these situations should be spent improving it and the market in general to make it a more practical choice.
Then you run into the asshole greybeards who bemoan Windows dominance but absolutely rage at anything that would actually close the gap.

Site Reliability Enby🏳️⚧️🏁🔦📈🐺👗😷@anniethebruce @munin What are these things that would close a gap, exactly?
If you say Unity I am going to scream.
@SiteRelEnby @munin Basically anything that makes it easier on newbies I see a lot of rage over.
It's more vocal minority than widespread issue, but a vocal minority can cause problems far beyond what their size would suggest.
As for Unity... I wouldn't have an issue with that but certainly doesn't need to be a priority, certainly not community wide. If someone wants to do something with it I don't really care though.

@anniethebruce @munin Fair in some cases then, but not when it just degrades the experience as a whole, e.g. having to jump through a load of hoops to get a proper Firefox install on Ubuntu because Snap is so shit...
@SiteRelEnby @munin Snap bullshit is why I'm now on Debian.
The concept of snaps, ok, cool, get multiple container platforms out there and see which approach is best in the real world. But the reality of snaps has not impressed me.
