As much as I lean to hate this despite it not even affecting me as a Linux user...
What is that? "I'm going to pretend to ask questions that I'll then answer myself the way I think it'll outrage that most people do I'll get a lot of clicks on this shitty article"? What crappy excuse for content creation is this? I hate it.
I follow Kevin on Mastodon. He’s the real deal and is absolutely not interested in the clicks or outrage. He’s trying to make it accessible.
Agreed. The way i took it was "i am going to write 'questions' based on the concerns people are commenting online and give the answers to those things people are interested/worried about"
Yeah, I gotta say that I read the article and it seemed pretty reasonable in terms of content. The fake-Q-and-A thing wasn't quite my cup of tea either, but eh, I don't think it was all that problematic.
Eh, they could have written it differently, each time hypothesizing that someone might wonder XYZ, but I appreciate the brevity of this format. And I do not think that the questions or answers are unreasonable.
Do you mind calling out the questions you think are inappropriate or exist for rage clicks? What constitutes a good article for you if this is a shitty one?
I rather liked it. I mean he was just re-phrasing questions he's seen without having to bother with direct quotes and making sure the questions were articulate.
It's pretty important to get this info out there and make sure everyone and their 2nd cousin knows about it. If Microsoft can't make this absolutely infallible on a security front it will almost be laughable at how many people could get completely fucked over by this. Every hacker and country in the world are going to be poking at the security of this feature. It would be the holy grail of infosec penetration.
You may not but the customer support rep at a company that had your info uses windows. Same for the insurance companies, various government agencies local with limited it experience as well as national.
I saw that as anticipating the questions they'll get regarding this article and pre-answering them.
Stopthatgirl7 and inflammatory headlines, name a more iconic duo.
Edit: Reminder to self: do you really want these kinds of posters in your media feed?
