    Argue with IT that it takes 4 minutes for their new machine to confirm I typed the password correctly.

    I do this every day. They are telling me it is a security measure. I hate our IT dept.

    I have to for work and I’m genuinely considering putting together a presentation about how big of a HIPAA problem it is for us to have ai integration everywhere.

      I’m pretty sure that can be disabled with Active Directory shenanigans and whatnot. I have to use Windows for work as well, in a HIPAA-esque-compliant manner, and I never see the constant AI integrations that people often complain about in Windows. I know our IT team heavily modifies and manages our Windows environments for us.

      A coworker put it better than I ever could:

      “Microsoft is the only company which has ever managed to make a shell that takes 10 seconds to autocomplete”

      And I think that’s poetry.

      (Yes, I know there are many more reasons why pwsh sucks, but there’s beauty in the simplicity of this one)

    It depends why I need to use it.

    To help someone on their Windows computer with an otherwise unrelated issue? I just help them. Pushing Linux unasked all the time just pushes people away. Better keep it for when that is a relevant answer to their problem.

    If my boss decides Linux is no longer an option? I would fiercly contest it, but if that’s to no avail I would seriously consider switching jobs. Even outside worries about loosing sovereignity I simply won’t be very happy working on Windows every day.

    I see no reason of this happening at my personal devices. If something doesn’t run on Linux I just don’t use it, same for hardware that’s incompatible with it. Worked well for years now, never felt like I missed out much.
