I regret nothing.

Heres the link

I completely understand. I’d be skeptical too had I not seen it firsthand

I’m also an it technician with over a decade of experience, and I’ve seen this first hand, on multiple occasions.

I agree PICNIC is the goto in this scenario; it’s not like shutdown commands are new, so why would it not work as intended? it was my initial assumption when faced with these reports; but having seen this occur multiple times, I can confirm it isn’t. My running theory is it’s KB related, as the issue is intermittent by device (though consistent with an affected device… as in the device will exhibit this behaviour every time). It’s also unique to windows 11.

Some of my favourite UK towns/villages etc:

• cockfosters.
• petts wood.
• fingringhoe.
• bitchfield.
• shitterton.
• Twatt.

Bee the change you want to see.

GP is a good shout. I see this issue occur intermittently at work; and whilst I haven’t checked our GPOs recently; I’m fairly certain the incident is intermittent amongst machines running the same policies (IE: a finance dept of 50 machines may see 10 exhibit this behaviour).

I’ve also seen it occur on home PCs. The only constant trait among them that I can determine is the OS (always 11). I just assumed it was introduced by some KB somewhere down the line or something like that.

Absolutely. You reminded me of an old hitchhikers guide quote;

It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it… anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

You think that’s impressive? I’ve responded to a comment from someone who spoke to the friend of the guy that posted this photo.

It’s the same logic Israel uses to justify it’s actions against Palestine; Or how Russia justifies it’s attacks on Ukraine. I can’t help you understand why tarnishing an entire nation is a terrible precident to set. But equally, I think you already understand this, And are just continuing to act in bad faith.

Sure, I can make it real simple and just explain the concept.

I don’t believe I’m responsible for stuff that happened hundreds of years before my birth; that’s a dangerous precedent to set and leads to rampant persecution of entire nations (like you inciting violence upon British people for example, and feeling like that’s an okay stance to take).

As for current events, I believe we do have a responsibility to call out and work to correct any injustice at every juncture, and pride myself on trying to doing so. That being said; much like you haven’t magically fixed the persecution of aboriginals in Australia, or Israel’s persecution of Palestine (which Australia is complicit in too btw…) ; there is only so much we commoners can achieve.

So instead of flinging muck at 70 million people because of their nationality, try finding common ground. Your abrasive nature serves nothing but sowing discord.

I appreciate this will likely fall on deaf ears, and you’ll probably resort to further projecting of your own feelings of frustration, so this is the last time I attempt to appeal to your better nature; I’m not fortunate enough to be retired, so I can’t waste any more energy on attempting to help you see reason.

For the Irish famine or the aboriginal persecution? try to be more specific with your questions, Block away. You refuse to acknowledge my questions let alone answer them, so I fail to see why I shouldn’t show you the same courtesy.

Australians were considered British citizens is you initially shirking all responsibility elsewhere, which is how this entire conversation started.

Frame what as your fault? The racism? I thought you said you were taking responsibility… Now I’m just confused. Are you responsible or not?

I’m the one arguing in bad faith? Yet more hypocrisy

Edit: I didn’t feel the need to bring up Charles, because I agree with you that the monarchy needs to be abolished. So not sure why you think that would have riled me up. It’s just your hypocrisy that I find difficult to swallow

You said you would use the guillotine on multiple British politicians; and even went as far as to deflect the blame for the ongoing persecution of aboriginals to british citizens. Not once have you suggested you even hold Australia accountable for its ongoing systemic issues with racism towards natives, let alone yourself.

Ah so I’m responsible for my government, but you’re not responsible for yours. Got it.

Ohhhh you’re so close to getting it.

Now, with all of that emotion about how I know nothing about your activism, try applying that same logic to the British people you’re so vehemently against.

This entire conversation has been an attempt to point out your hypocrisy.
