Steve Jobs was an awful human being and people like him would say anything to justify their toxic behaviour. Quoting gim was the worst possible choice. You can be a leader and a decent human being. For example Gabe Newell, to name just one.

To be fair, you also will cutting onions with a sharp knife.

Because not everyone speaks English so good that they could write an article, or want to invest a massive amount of time only to get a barely readable result. For example...

> Just creating a tenant is a PITA and you get a default tenant you can't change without paying for Microsoft 365?

What exactly ist a PITA when creating a tenant? It's straightforward.

And what do you mean by default tenant that you cannot change unless you pay? Nothing comes to mind where that would be the case.

Are you sure you're not just using it wrong?


You literally cannot change your tenant ID and the form by default picks a random for you. There is a hidden form I found on reddit that lets you pick a tenant ID but wtf. Also by default you can't create a tenant without an existing Microsoft account, which everybody acknowledge is a chicken and egg problem.

Why do you care about the tenant id?

It's worse, it's reverse perpetual motion. It takes an infinite amount of energy to achieve something you could achieve with a tiny finite amount!

> Pronounced "crust".

No, pronounced X-rust! You can't just make up pronunciation as you please. If you want people to call it that, you should have named it "Crust" in the first place. This kind of thing really grinds my gear!


From wikipedia

"In Modern Greek, it has two distinct pronunciations: In front of high or front vowels (/e/ or /i/) it is pronounced as a voiceless palatal fricative [ç], as in German ich or like some pronunciations of "h" in English words like hew and human. In front of low or back vowels (/a/, /o/ or /u/) and consonants, it is pronounced as a voiceless velar fricative ([x]), as in German ach or Spanish j. This distinction corresponds to the ich-Laut and ach-Laut of German."


"ch" sounds nothing like "k" in German. (Neither the "ich" nor the "ach" form).

You could claim it if you'd speak Bavarian (Chiemsee starts with a "k", for "Chemie" people are diveded if it's "kehmee" or "shehmee").

So don't use weirdly constructed things as names with your own pronunciation instruction. That's a tragedeigh.


I think it is somewhat ironic that you try to make a point that Chemie is an exception, when it is exactly the sort of example the claim is made from.

Ich and Chemie are pretty similarly pronounced (some people say either with a harder k sound, ik, "kehmee"). Chemie also derives from the Greek χύμεία, so it contains the Chi to make the comparison.

A similar case can also be made for Jesus Christus, I certainly think Christus' pronunciation starts like crust.

And hey, if you derive the Greek root for it, you get Χριστός, which starts with Chi again.

I think a better case can be made just arguing against mixing alphabets like this.


So, you confirm what I just said?

OK, but Knuth did maintain that TeX should be pronounced like "Tek". And most people do pronounce it that way in my experience.

Knuth said it's Te<the greek X which Americans can't pronunce, so a k comes out when they try to>.

"To be fair" they did call it "χrust", so not X, though still wouldn't get you C

Exactly it still isn't pronounced crust. And it makes matters worse. Why would you name something in a way, that possibly only the Greek can write on their keyboard?

Do your own research if you want to know more.


Isn't the point of sites like this to share research with one another? And interesting commentary. It is for me.

Thank you for the link.


If someone uploads just one CP picture, our are fucked for live.

One has to believe that law enforcement forensics folks have the wherewithal to distinguish a stray image in browser cache, from a large downloads folder full of similar content.

One has to believe this, for their own sanity.

One does wonder though, particularly in countries with increasingly-weakenened rules of law.


I ran a social media site years ago, had a few instances of CP where we personally notified law enforcement. It was taken care of, we got in absolutely no trouble. But it's worrying how inefficient the whole process is. Or at least was back then.

People like you believe uranium is growing on trees. Have you actually looked up how it's retrieved? The costs are insane and the ecological damage unrepairable.
