to be fair they gave a motivation for their comment. They aren't tearing down a windows user, or even evangelising it, in fact you're the one having an issue.

we dont really see him answer the phone much before this - but isn't it canon that Parker has Jewish heritage?

what's your plan on teaching these people to maintain their selfhosted instances? Are you selling support? I mean you could script pulling and recreating containers, but without eyeballs on it, that stuff will die eventually.

a private school needs to give the appearance that they do, or at least have this capability when someone asks. On the ground, its barely used

Star Trek has a similar subset of fans that are all like "When did Star Trek get all woke? More pew pew!"

Try 1966

I work IT in schools. There is limited surveillance tools on college owned devices. Mainly logging of web traffic. Screens can be viewed when on campus network, not reachable off campus.

No one in our department has time to waste looking at web history or screens. Teachers don't bother to use it much either. We only look at it when directed by college executive or when I go in there at the end of term to clear the alerts.

I'd imagine most other schools are similar, no one gives a shit what kids are doing on their devices

I Sysadmin in education here in Brisbane. Half our server stack is Linux on a Nutanix hypervisor. I do all my work from Linux, my junior admin recently moved his workstation to Fedora KDE, I use Kinoite.

The student and staff devices are 95% Windows, manager doesn't care what we use to administer. Officially we're a "Microsoft School"

I log into EGS via heroic a few times a year to claim a free game. Yet to ever play any said free games 🤷

I figures it was a simple calculus, especially since BYD is the OEM that supplies parts for many of the other brands, especially the batteries.

I'd rather benefit from that status than support a egotist like Musk. Besides anywhere outside America the Teslas are made in China, just like the BYDs 😆
