Thank you. I noticed afterwards that this was lemmy.ml, an instance I steer clear of 🙊

Anyway, I remember how I once had to break news to a person who had either voluntarily or involuntarily set up BitLocker on their work computer and didn’t know how to access their data anymore, and I had to tell them “sorry, you’re out of luck” (now that I’m thinking, maybe there was a recovery code backed up in OneDrive?..) It’s for the best to leave it opt-in for now.

It’s a bit fascist to force people to do what you think is right, no?

Orrr it’s because a lot of people don’t care about E2EE and just want their files to be backed up. Can we stop demonizing every single IT company ever for anything they do?

Yeah but not all people live on American soil…

!memes@lemmy.ml has become a dumpster fire. Did you mean to post on !politicalmemes@lemmy.world?

What the fuck are you on about saying “having every behaviour and text sent to Microsoft” and “arguing that Windows should be the number one”. He never said that, nor does anyone say that, get your head out your ass.

He said “Windows suits me”. That’s it, stfu.

I love loved how when Microsoft published docs on how to install and configure Linux on their desktop PCs, everyone was like “wtf??? Do they hate money?” completely missing the fact that home edition Windows is probably bringing them nothing or close to nothing, and that the real money is in B2B.

I wonder why

At least show 14 tabs of something other than porn, maybe you’ll be less embarrassed that way?

I love you how specified “as far as I know” even though it’s literally your native language lmao

🤦‍♂️Yes, in that sense, English could be gendered. But what it actually means is that English used to be gendered and retains some gendered words from that time.

Another example, Russian has noun cases, but not the vocative case. However, it does have two words that have a vocative case from when the language as a whole did use to have the vocative case - Бог (Боже) and Господь (Господи) - but that doesn’t mean that Russian has it now.

Also, blond/blonde are pronounced the same so the distinction is lost in speech and probably soon in writing as well, and words like fiancé/fiancée (which are also pronounced the same), widow/widower, actor/actress do not signify grammatical gender by itself.

Lithuanian, you got it right! Though you could’ve guessed any Slavic language too, so it’s weird you picked Lithuanian

This one is missing the “non-stick spray cooking” with an image of a flamethrower

English is not a grammatically gendered language. Otherwise, all languages have gender.

Yeah, there are clueless people everywhere, but I’m still glad that it’s easy to get generic medicine.

To be fair, you cannot force people to buy generic, let people make their own, though preferably informed, decisions.

I know it as “ceet”, but my language pronounces that part as “tset”.

Touché, though I love knowing names like paracetamol or acetaminophen, ibuprofen, diclofenac, acetylsalicylic acid etc.

I can’t come up with many names because I don’t remember every single drug, but when I see a drug, I always read the chemical, never the brand, and I’m glad for my country and my parents for that.

ITT: Americans who can’t fathom generic medicine names

Tylenol isn’t the medicine, paracetamol is. I love having grown up in a European country which mandates pharmacies to very clearly inform you, not just in some fuck ass place, but repeat to you 3 times, that there is a cheaper generic version which does the same thing.

Yeah but he drank himself to death by writing Requiem
