Ist das beste was mensch tun kann - sowohl für die eigene geistige Gesundheit als auch für die Mitmenschen.
Lieber #BenevolentDictator als #TechIlliterates zu #scam|men und denen #DigitalSnakeoil aufzuschwatzen!
Zahlenmäßig ist das für alle ein Gewinn, außer das eigene Business basiert darauf dysfunktionale #Govware aka. #Windows zu pushen!

@eljefedsecurit @governa and to me switching to @ubuntu and forcibly migrating everyone who wants me to maintain their shit as a #BenevolentDictator was the best thing I did in my life to the point that I only regret not having done so over 5 years earlier.

Otherwise the only valid option is to become a #BenevolentDictator and forcibly.migrate them to @ubuntu / #Ubuntu LTS #Linux and never gibe them #sudo privilegues and instead forcibly update their shit per SystemD service.

@fabiscafe Peopleblike that are the reason why I as #Sysadmin pull a #BenevolentDictator:
I've got neither the time nor the resources to deal with weapons-grade, active-agressive #TechIlliteracy.

There is no #BenevolentDictator in a system that works well. Instead, we have well-informed users who understand that as a #sysadmin, my job is to balance #security, usability and stability to the best of my ability, for their benefit.
Stability is measured by 'whatever worked yesterday continues to work today'. Usability means that the systems support doing what the users need and want them to do. And security means certainty that the information that they don't want to share is not, and the information that they want to share to a few people only goes to them.
Every user has their own priorities for each of these things. Tradeoffs and costs are inevitable; some of these are influenced by #infrastructure choices and history. But it's not a dictatorship, benevolent or otherwise: I inform my users of what is happening, what is planned and what is likely to occur. They inform me of their needs and desires related to the systems. They trust my general approach but sometimes question specific plans -- that's the relationship of professionals.

@LunaDragofelis @lightning @lispi314 @Elizafox my experience also tells me that people.don't care and if I as #Sysadmin go full #BenevolentDictator and force them to use a #Linux distro like #Ubuntu that doesn't impact them.since all they want it #Firefox, #Thunderbird and #LibreOffice to work.

@witchescauldron Yes, there is a #dictatorForLife element in FOSS but it is, around moreso the branding of a piece of software. The great thing with FOSS is people get to democratically choose their #benevolentDictator.
We saw this recently with the jump from Audacity to #Tenacity, from Gitea to #Forgejo.
When the community senses that the benevolentDictator has gone, they tend to move like starlings away from it.

@chirpbirb And that's why I install distros like @ubuntu #UbuntuLTS:
#Normies don't care about the #OS,
All they care about is how to #consoom #SocialMedia and maybe sending an #eMail or printing a letter..
And that's why I act as #BenevolentDictator and forcibly migrate #TechIlliterates to it!

Funfact: I never had to manually build packages or compile anything myself in 10 years...

@JustinLachance as #IT #Sysadmin I am contractually obligated to stay up to date and my job literally is to be the #BenevolentDictator in terms of #tech and what #TechStack is being used.
I forcibly migrate #TechIlliterates to @ubuntu #UbuntuLTS because I don't get paid enough to deal with shit like #Windows.
And those that need some proprietary #CCSS get a machine with #macOS or a #VNC / #RDP session to a #MacMini or #MacPro that has been rackmounted.

@anarchopunk_girl *nodds in agreement*
#Cyberfacism being welded as a weapon doesn't make it less bad and inacceptable.
In fact the problem are literally #TechIlliterate #parents to the point that I've told people 20 years ago to not give their parents any admin rights because they'll fuck up everything and activate or install some "Youth Protection" BS and fuck up everything!
Even I who acts as #BenevolentDictator in IT will go out of my way to never breach a users' privacy, minor nor adult!

Actually, no.
If we let #TechIlliterates make the decision we'd not even have any passwords whatsoever nor granular permissions...
Sorry,but as someone who has to be accountable for the mess I won't let users feck up my day...
Cuz at the end of the day me being a #BenevolentDictator in #IT may be a nuisance to some but it'll save not only my own ass...

@Seirdy +9001%
We need to get rid of Stallman-esque "neighsaying without providing alterantives that are available"...
Personally I do always choose to provide better alternatives instead of trashtalking...
Also #SystemD just works and fixes a shitload of issues and since I know how stupid most users are, I do tend to act as #BenevolentDictator on most systems just to avoid having to bi-weekly reinstall shit or do data recovery...

@IceWolf I mean #Windows is irredeemable #BinaryTrash and as shitty as it sounds I'd rather act as "#BenevolentDictator" and forcibly migrate everyone to @ubuntu LTS Desktop since s lot users are just stupid & ignorant #TechIlliterates...
Also I don't get paid even close enought to accept the toll on my mental health doing Windows would have.

@[email protected] THIS is why I as #Sysadmin act as #BenevolentDictator since people can and will f**k up anyhing if given the opportunity to do so.'
Also: We can't design shit to be "#LinusProof" since those people will also not be deterred by the new "THIS IS DEADLY RADIOACTIVE - GTFO NOW!" warning stricker of containers for radioactive material.
