Everyone did not know. What is obvious is that everyone still does not know!
Maybe you can use your superior intelligence and foresight to help educate instead of calling massive swathes of people morons for not knowing something?
People aren’t morons for not knowing something that is only “obvious” to autistic techies who instantly think through the ramifications of entire systems. Most people’s brains don’t work like that and calling them morons won’t help anything.
What will help is education - which takes a lot of patience, effort, time and kindness. Have you really got what it takes to make any difference or are you perfectly content with just feeling superior to everyone?

It is all imaginary numbers inside virtual computers which don’t really exist. Pdf is an intermediary portal to the physical realm, but beware! For it is one created by the dark forces of the human psyche. Not all is as it first may seem, it may unexpectedly take possession of the user! (Cue ominous music!)

Surely the servers aren’t running on bare metal anyway? So wouldn’t they just keep the virtual servers in ram and destroy them regularly to redeploy from an image? (I have no idea - I was a web dev 20 years ago!)
But it seems like when you have imaginary “computers” that can be regularly destroyed and rebuilt at little cost or hassle, there shouldn’t be much point in trying to capture or examine the actual hardware because all it’s doing is managing virtual machines existing in ram?

- Comment on That's a whole lotta hydrogen! 3 weeks ago:
Power Struggle who wakes up thinking about trans people every day but comes online to tell us* we don’t exist!? Laughable were it not so tragically pathetic.
Ffs it’s so sad, so lonely over there. I just feel sorry that they repress themself so much that they go around in life carrying out a blanket attack on an entire already marginalized group, which they themselves are unwittingly part of, under the banner of “science”… and that’s their contribution to life? Making other people’s lives worse in the name of “science”?
It is fucking weak and foolish.
Science is for helping humanity’s understanding, not furthering oppression!
“Science”-ism religious fundamentalist bigots can fuck right off with their holy textbooks!
- I mean I’m only sort of to the male-ish side of an imaginary center, most people don’t even notice that I’m nonbinary (just neurodivergent!) and I probably only think about it once a week because it’s just not that important a part of my life overall, since I resolved it with myself by growing a fuckin pair, dealing with my issues and practicing some basic kindness to myself and strangers at large. It’s not even hard, it just takes a little courage. Dishonest little cowards will continue to hide from themselves while announcing it to the the whole fucking internet! My purpose in engaging at all is to let Power Struggle know that they’re naked and in plain sight of others who might just(!!) know what they don’t yet know about themselves. But there’s no helping stupid, is there?

“Why do you care so much?” is a reasonable question, given that you are obsessed with this topic and on a mission to correct others with what you believe to be “facts”.
It is a reasonable question given that your choice of “facts” aligns well with denying that trans people exist. The existence of trans people is an empirical fact you don’t seem to be interested in acknowledging.
You “merely relaying how the field of biology defines sex” is disingenuous because your position on the whole matter is not inquisitive (in search of understanding) but authoritarian (telling others how to be).
That’s why you will be called out on it repeatedly, because you are not telling the truth about your motives and try to pass yourself off as neutral and scientific.
So I ask you again: Why do you care so much?
The answer is pretty clear - you don’t acknowledge that you yourself are trans, because you haven’t developed the self-reflection skills to be honest with yourself about it yet. Instead you cling to biology text books, while telling trans people that they don’t exist.
But we know your type very well - dishonest, mean-spirited denialists with no personal integrity.
Your power struggle is with yourself.

- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 month ago:
Also the kids mom (my co-parent) is now on Aurora which is basically the same as Bazzite just less gamer centric. Both are really slick modern Linux experiences so far imho.
Check out Aurora for all your friends and family members you want something really awesome, low maintenance and pretty indestructible for. We’ve not used it for long but it seems really fantastic. Like the distro I would dream up for mainstream (desktop non gamer) users. Or Bazzite if they are gamers. Easy!
That’s three less Windows machines I’m responsible for… whoopee! (Mom was previously using Mint.)
2026 is the year of the Linux desktop! ;-) ;-) ;-)
I’m sticking with LMDE myself because it’s been perfect for me for 15 years already.

- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 1 month ago:
Who wants a computer which might not work after an upgrade and not because there’s an actual problem but because a corporation says no? It’s more stress and more work out of nowhere. Corporations should never be allowed to brick devices, but since they are, I choose “not corporation” as my permanent fix. It’s a good move!
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 1 month ago:
With Linux systems we never(?) have to deal with defaults decided by the profit motive. The computer might not instantly do everything I want but I don’t have to fight a multinational corporation as part of the solution. That’s what swung it permanently for me. I’m not in corporate IT but as a fixer of hundreds of people’s personal computers over decades, Windows is horrific and nowadays I have started just refusing to become responsible for trying to sort it out, even for pay.

Well yeah that’s true. I’m driving an 18 year old second hand VW myself… the fuckers do keep running.
I could never afford a Tesla anyway even if I wanted one - I’m glad to say I always hated them as cars.
But ugh… Musk literally did the Hitler salute, twice to make sure, on live TV, and he is responsible for the real-time deaths of millions of people.
We can’t always do much about politicians but when it comes to business fucks like him, we can dismantle that bastard and his companies everywhere they exist… including in space!
- Comment on China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns 1 month ago:
Fuck Musk and Fuck Swasticars!
There’s no excuse left for driving one except having bought it before this year.
Buying Tesla is funding fascism and corruption. All Musk companies need breaking up!

- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 2 months ago:
IMHO Bitwig is a modular synthesis and sound design environment that also contains a full DAW. There’s possibly nothing else quite like it around - I’m not certain, but I’ve looked and not found anything. Notes are events and can be processed or generated in all manner of crazy ways… or just played. Audio can be piped all over the place and processed almost however you want. I think of the stock devices like basic building blocks, like Lego or Minecraft. Once you understand the pattern you can build anything. There are so many ways to work in Bitwig! It’s almost like Ableton but equally it’s almost an unlimited modular synthesizer. It’s very playable too, a real digital instrument. I could probably spend the rest of my life with it and not run out of things to try. It steers away from trying to be a virtual instrument rack like Reason with pretend jack leads, and seems to me to be both incredibly powerful and still very intuitive. It’s the best music making software I’ve come across in 35 years of using music software!

I love synthesizers. Found my salvation in Bitwig Studio and now I don’t even eye up VSTs. (I’ll await my downvotes!)

No thanks! I’m more into abolishing capitalism than facitating it further. I’m looking forward to the end of all commercial enterprises and especially management! It should be as difficult and expensive as possible to establish hierarchical systems of digitally managing large corporations.

I can’t move the Windows 11 taskbar because I’ve been running Linux for over 20 years. Recommended fix!
