    I worked for a small company, not an IT job, this happened like 10 years ago.

    The office administrator lady got an email from an unknown address. The email was in Italian, she couldn’t speak Italian, but we had an Italian client, so it was not unexpected that we got an email in Italian. The email had an attachment, a docx file. She downloaded it, opened it then Word asked if she wants to allow running macros embedded in the document, and she obviously clicked yes. We had a small Linux file server, and the virus running on her PC encrypted several tenthousand excel files before it was noticed that something is happening and her machine could be switched off.

    No problem - said the boss, we only lost a half day of work, as we have an offsite backup, it runs every night, we can just restore yesterday’s data. Unfortunately the backup stopped half years ago, but no one checked the logs…



  • Your generated answer contains no relevant information. You asked the bullshit machine incorrectly, as from the community it should be clear that OP is looking for a Linux related theme, and from the image it should be clear it’s a wm or de. Not a terminal. Not a Google Slide (wtf) or whatever.

    The only slightly relevant part was listing GNOME-Look and KDE Store.

    I’m not a luddite, this current AI technology is a nice and interesting tool, but please don’t bring it here this way. We are humans discussing a topic, we don’t need this off-putting and irrelevant wall of text. You gain nothing, we gain nothing, no VC fund behind lemmy, there is no incentive to generate content above all. Your karma means nothing, it’s only point is sorting comments in a thread.


  • If OP would be interested in an AI generated answer, they would just type the question there. It’s not something only you can do.

    And it doesn’t even answer the question, it sounds like the out of touch answers on microsoft support forum, why did you copied it here. You haven’t even read it? This is one of the worst usecase of an LLM I have ever seen.



  • There are different communities for answers like that, for general techsupport. Maybe OP asked it in a wrong place, but if it’s already here, and does not sound blatantly oftopic it should be answered in the spirit of the community.

    And the answer was also wrong, OP asked how to save as inverted, not how to open inverted.












  • I remember a lot of things were not working. For example I was a GNU screen user, and no terminal multiplexer could work at that time in WSL1. They added support to tmux after a while and I switched to that and never switched back, rest is history…

    The point is just like how not everything working ootb in wine, the same is true for the other direction.

    They would have to invest more work which costs money, but if they just ship the linux kernel, which is already written, and the users already bought big ssds and have highspeed internet, so they could just use that for free, it makes more sense, and makes more money to the shareholders
