That's an interesting take on what 'ubuntu' really means. It makes sense
to me with the parallel to Indian tribal names. Names like 'Navajo' were bestowed on the tribe by outsiders, enemies in many cases. The real name
is 'Dine' which has the context of 'We are the real people. The rest of
you are lower than the whale shit in the bottom of the ocean.'
The 'Chosen' have a much better PR campaign and have maintained the scam
for centuries.

They weren't chosen for their athletic ability.
But there sure are a lot of smart, successful Jewish people.
A few perverts, too, like Wretched Stallman.
Say what you will, but Stallman is like Torvalds, their two minds
conceived something brilliant, a genuine alternative to M$ and Apple.

Stallman got so mad at a printer that he devoted the rest of his life to
demanding everyone's code.
What printer? Is this a real story, or just an expression of
Stallman's philosophy with a euphemism?

Would you suggest we'd be better off relying on M$ et al, then? 'Cause
it'd be a tough sell, to me, when I see how they fucked over millions
of Win10 users, in their Win11 beta test, culminating in 20H2 and
later builds. In 2019, Win10 turned into bug-infested beta crud,
publicly forced on victims, and then in 2020-2021 it was simply a
preview of Win11, bloated to a point it ran like ass on older systems.
This is the bullshit you praise.
And they're doing just as much evil
with Win11, which is what prompted me to stop using it.
You are more
than welcome to the product key I gave you, for any useful purpose you
find for it, if you haven't yet. I don't want it back.
I will not disgrace my precious computer with M$, again.

Yeah, Wine is not actual Winblows, and he knows it. He plays dumb,

Is Wine standalone? I tried it a long time ago and I thought you had to provide dlls from a Windows box. I was trying to use TEFview, a player for TableEdit files. I don't think Wine could do MIDI at the time so it didn't work.

Those wacky folks at GuhNoo.org consider applications and games to be
part of the operating system.
"GNU is a Unix-like operating system. That means it is a collection of
many programs: applications, libraries, developer tools, even games."
https://www.gnu.org/home.en.html#More-GNU
In any event, most of what I'm using is not under Wine. Posting to
Usenet with a Winblows newsreader barely registers in significance,
even though it's something I cherish personally, and EncSpot is just a
nifty utility to analyze MP3 files. I have mIRC installed, still, but
am using IRCCloud exclusively.
They've been working on it for 30+ years and making blanket claims about
its capabilities, but the fact that there are 5 levels of compatibility ranking means it's a big fail.

With default installations somehow I always wind up with Mahjong. Someday when I'm really bored I'll have to see what it is.

It's what Mama-sans play while the girls are servicing you at the AMP.

That's silly. They are part of an operating system's ecosystem.

Last time I tried it, wine would add an entry to 'Open With' every time
I clicked on an MS Office file.
https://imgur.com/a/gylQQOg
Using any kind of recent Office version under Wine is not gonna work.
But that's the whole thing, you have to divorce yourself from
Winblows, including Office,
be a man, use something other than M$.
Those wacky folks at Micro$oft consider spyware to be part of the
operating system.
Trust me, I wouldn't have given it to you in the first place, if there
were a chance I'd change my mind. I paid $200 for it. But that's a write-off, now, because I have no purpose for it, not even a VM.
Please do use it.

How do you know they're spying on you?
What info are they collecting without your knowledge?

Putting spyware doesn't imply that they spy on you. They can give the
tools to others to spy on you. And the fact is: they do. I know an
adminsys who told me it's very impressive what an adminsys can know
about everything done by the users. A manager can ask an adminsys to
tell him anything someone did with his computer: it comes by default and
it is really easy to use.
Later, of course, the Company blacklisted Wireshark :-D
And trashed my Linux partition :-D :-D :-D

You snipped this from his sig:
"Only in the brain of [chrisv] does telemetry == spying." - DumFSck,
lying shamelessly
You might work around that by saying it's "with one's knowledge", but
that's the whole fucking point, you don't really have a choice.
You can consent or not, they're going to do it anyway.
That's M$ Winblows. And you're peachy with that.

It's conceivable there could come a day when I won't tolerate some MS
policy or another, and switch to Macs or Linux. Unlikely but possible.

You have zero rights to privacy on your work computer.
https://www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj/publications/human_rights_magazine_home/2013_vol_39/may_2013_n2_privacy/employment_privacy/
And in my opinion you shouldn't expect such rights.
But what does any of this have to do with shitv's lies about Microsoft "spying"?
