@larand They can already track our movements thanks to the devices we willingly carry around… :P
Our society has become increasingly fat and unhealthy because a bunch of scientists would prefer to be well paid and right rather than get to the truth. It wouldn't surprise me if there were similar things playing out in other areas of science. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/apr/07/the-sugar-conspiracy-robert-lustig-john-yudkin
@matigo 40 OoO messages from the same person suggests your mail servers aren't configured properly. O.o
My boss strongly suggested we all stop using OoO messages unless we are out for an extended period of time (e.g. on leave). Now if we can just get the rest of the company to do that :P
@matigo Download Managers are blocked on my kids computers. Had to adjust that in the firewall.
This points to why Linux on the Desktop is a non-starter for muggles. The default applications app in Ubuntu didn't show Google Chrome, so I tried downloading the .deb file to install. The GUI tried to install but failed because dependencies. No errors to show that, but when I tried doing it via the CLI, it told me that was the reason.
apt-get was also failing with a cryptic message as well. Ended up Googling for a debug command on the CLI, which when I ran it, told me exactly what was happening (my firewall was blocking access to apt-get).
Granted, this entire thing was caused by something I did, but if something fails, and you're using the GUI, the system should indicate as such and provide enough details to figure out what's going on. >_<
