Fuck Java, seriously
Toxic...
You can find a lot of good work doing Java.
There's a spec for json with comments. It's better than yaml in every way.
Jesus, just what I want to do with the devops team - spend a few weeks standardizing on an editor and configuring them to edit yaml.
YAML mixes 2 and 4 spaces all the time. Python scripts don't run if you write this kind of crap.
Sure it does. You only need to be consistent within a block. Python's syntax is ridiculous and solves problems that basically don't exist.
All of my java/kotlin/rust/etc. code is trivially well formatted and can be done by my editor. Moving code blocks is trivial. Refactoring is easier when I didn't need to hand -format the code just to make it work.
Maybe you're thinking of Ansible?
Space travel is... Hard. Even NASA has had issues (Apollo 13?).
It allows health professionals to report suspected child abuse or people who may commit violent crimes.
That's fair - I'm not saying users shouldn't be able or allowed to use computers, but just that it's been proven over and over again that most people simply don't get computers. They should always have the option to learn what they can though.
It's almost never HIPAA (not HIPPA) but in this case it does seem relevant.
A quick search though and it looks like there are provisions in HIPAA allowing disclosure to law encourage officials for law enforce purposes.
Computers are not a good choice for "regular users". Get them a locked-down iPhone and be done with it.
What you are describing is not a situation unique to Linux - or even Windows. "Software is hard and it sometimes breaks". My Windows 11 laptop that I use for work and to which I have made exactly zero modifications sometimes doesn't recognize when I've connected external speakers. And I can't disable hyper-v despite following all of the instructions. This is a corporate provisioned and managed system and simple stuff just doesn't work.
X% of all things have bugs. Your mistake is in thinking that the percentage that you're seeing are somehow special or related to the particular OS you're running at the time. The classic "the grass is greener" fallacy. This is pretty evidenced also by the fact that you're a classic "distro hopper" whose always looking for the perfect system rather than taking the time to understand the problems and deal with them as they come.
The very model of a modern major-general.
I'll see myself out
