  • While I don’t have any statistics, other than just my impression after reading news or talking to people:

    There seem to be people unaware that what they are doing is a form of mental torture. There are (at least what it seems) a lot of toxic relationships, and there are instances where neither the victim nor the perpetrator realize how their actions affect themselves or the other part.

    I am far from excusing anyone who behaves in a mentally torturous way and agree that they should be punished, but torture might not be as intentional in all situations.

    IMO, we should properly categorize the different kinds of torture and the different severity, and perform punishment based on those categorizations. It makes sense, at least to me, to have a stronger punishment for IDF, than for a toxic mother somewhere.

    A couple of things I have read as a comment on this post that I would consider torture:

    • Rape (this should be classified as torture today)
    • Burying people alive
    • Throwing someone in a volcano (in a world where dying is an impossibility)

    Some that I am more uncertain on:

    • Environmental destruction (one could argue that this is indirect torture, as the end result could lead to people being starved, or harmed in other torturous ways)

  • I am a system admin and have to run a ton of Windows servers

    I feel your pain, I am a “Linux System Administrator” and the amount of Windows server crap I have to deal with on a daily basis…

    1. Why is XBOX Live services running by default on Windows Server???
    2. Why is co-pilot running by default on Windows Server??!?!?
    3. And what M$ engineer thought, aah yes the best possible place for a recovery partition is at the end of the main OS partition???!?!?!?!?!
    4. And lastly, what the actual fuck were they thinking when they put Windows 11s shit UI on Windows Server.

    On the less ranty/negative side:

    • AD isn’t horrible, while I prefer freeIPA, I can’t complain too much.
    • powershell other than being wordy commands, is kinda nice.
