Ok, but anyone with a monster energy tattoo needs to be bonked on the head. It’s 2024 for crying out loud! I thought we were passed this!

It wasn’t my decision.

Because it undermines the departments authority to make decisions regarding the systems they manage. Sure him having solitaire in and of itself isn’t a big deal, but it sets precedence that decisions made by the department can be overridden if someone simply complains loudly enough. This could be particularly dangerous in the case of new or tightened security policy put forth by the department (this exact scenario did actually playout with another individual a few years later regarding password policy)

Some-what related funny story: at my old job we removed the built-in games from Windows as part of our Windows 7 rollout. Most people didn’t even notice, but the director of public safety was so upset he demanded (not just asked) we put then back on his computer. When we refused he went to his DOCTOR and go a note stating that he needed Solitaire on his work PC as it helped him manage his anxiety. I was flabbergasted.

Don’t forget the uptime differences!

Windows: It’s been 10 minutes, can we reboot for updates now??

Linux: Uptime- yes

Hey! 30 isn’t that old… Right?

Holy crap that old YouTube UI was top.

Only the “Bad Fur Day” variety.
