You understand Sway is a passion project, distributed with source for free, and Windows is a comercial product licensed to you by a multinational corperation, right?

Dang bro, how much did you pay for it? I’d try to get my money back if I were you.

And what I’m saying is it doesn’t take more time to opt out in my experience. Its just as quick to get manually verified as to be biometrically scanned.

¯\(ツ)/¯ maybe, but as long as I have the option and it’s not tedious to do so (which is the case), I’m gonna opt out and encourage others to do so. Fair enough if your perspective is you want to accept whatever new security theater data collection is implemented in exchange for some perceived convenience. Making your case here with me in this conversation has taken more effort on your part than opting out of facial recognition at the security checkpoint in an airport would have, and I find that fact amusingly ironic.

I’ve been in and out of DFW, BOS, and JFK since these facial recognition scanners went in and I can tell you with a great deal of confidence that there’s no additional wait time, or queue, or anything else if you opt out. There’s a TSA agent right next to the scanner who collects your ID whether you get scanned or not. That’s the same person who otherwise just checks it if you opt out. What are you even on about? Maybe its different at some airports, but I’ve been opting out every time I fly and it’s no big deal.

Actually no, they look at your face and your ID, make sure the information matches, and move you along. No secondary inspection, no difference except you didn’t get scanned with facial recognition. It’s the same process as before facial recognition was implemented.

Why even write that comment?

Yeah pretty much. It obviously depends on your company’s continuity priorities but you’re going to have a pretty hard time doing a better job of backing up databases and keeping them safe per dollar than Amazon does.

Nice. Do drive next!

Oh I thought that was an April fools joke! I’m pretty sure I saw something about it on April 1st on the homepage. Had no idea it was a real thing.

What the heck is archinstall?

I think that’s how they said “gold digger” ~2700 years ago

S6E4 Game Changers dropped literally yesterday and you wasted no time recycling the joke

My solution is to host a virtual machine with my dev workstation, and use Windows or Mac for business admin stuff like email, slack, etc.

It doesn’t have to be a compromise

You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

Any change to appease you would be a compromise, you understand this, yes?

Oh my god, you get it. Thank you for your continued existence. Keep going!

Regex is fast and useful though. It’s a tool in your toolbox that make certain situations extremely easy as the comic depicts.

Ah gotcha. Glad I could clarify. For reference, its easy to look up RFCs by just visiting the IEEE website: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1149

It’s not. RFC 1149 is an April fools day joke about the protocol “IP Over Avian Carriers” and RFC 1149.5 doesn’t exist. He’s making a joke here.

I’m sorry, what?
