The Ramen Dutchman

It seems those are 4 KiB on Linux, interesting to know.

Probably DeepSeek.

Honestly, he probably just forgot and found a random slip of paper with a note on it while moving or something.

That sounds like either LN or LW (Lawful Wangrod)

Honestly, it would’ve been better for me if OP shared the text instead of a (slightly blurry) screenshot.

each file is minimum 4kb

$ touch empty_file
$ ls -l
total 8
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 0 may 14 20:13 empty_file
$ wc -c empty_file 
0 empty_file

Huh?

To be fair, they show up as “^X” or whatever, and typing [Shift]+[6] followed by the [X]-key doesn’t do the trick.

Still do.

Is it?

I’m checking the comments to be sure, as I also get a slight “AI-feel” from this meme.

No reason to hate acronyms; they make communication much more efficient!
They are annoying when you’re not in the clique that knows about them, I’ve found they can be hard to look up.

we dont have the K, just the regular

Ah, my bad (^^;
I ran an i7-4790K in my gaming PC for a long time, as far as games go this 10-year old CPU still hold up well, never had to upgrade it surprisingly enough!

Still, a 4 GHz quad-core with hyper-threading, and about 8 GiB of RAM, is more than enough to run Windows 10.
Assuming these are for studying, the heavier workloads would consist of MS Word, Powerpoint and an instructional video in the webbrowser, no?
What required tasks were too heavy for these computers under Windows 8/10?
And do they run off SSDs, or spinning HDDs?

Little side note

those computers in question had either i5-4750 (I think?) or i7-4970 so running windows 10 with all its bloat was not going to be an easy task

The i7-4790K is still quite powerful, so I’m pretty sure this wasn’t the problem, at all. Perhaps they’re running on an HDD, have little RAM, or you got the CPU wrong.

You can see the CPU and RAM by launching System Info from tbf start menu, and see if it’s running on an SSD or HDD by launching Disks from the menu.

Verdana.

The I/l and O/o/0, 0/8/ø are all distinct, so are all the different kinds of brackets. Also, this isn’t a monospace font, so wide letters such as m and w are wide, instead of being squashed into an unreadable barcode.

Letters aren’t meant to be monospace, and sans TUI nothing in computers still needs to be.

If you do need one, ex. for TUI, I second JetBrains Mono!

Also, Verdana is not a libre font, Noto Sans is a libre font that also has these properties, although code does look much better in Verdana to me.

The first flaw is not discussing things with the people in charge of tariffs such as the secretary of treasury.

It is better NOT to put them in system directories since those will get overwritten by upgrades.

That’s a purely Atomic thing, isn’t it?

Going by OP’s post, their co-workers can’t sue them; management will listen, the union will listen, but they’ll do some theatrics and nothing gets changed in the end. Just break their legs :-)

I’m not, it’s actually not normal behaviour.

Everyone is saying that’s not a friend, but I’m seeing paranoia or at least anxiety.

Wether they’re a friend or not doesn’t really matter here, take care of yourself, talk with people of you need to, okay?

What’s the C-word? Cunt?

In that case yes, it’s cunty behaviour but that’s not normal behaviour.

Unless someone ticked the “encrypt storage”-box in the installer, you don’t even have to pay for Pro to use it!
