Only pedophiles defend pedophiles.
And I fucking HATE pedophiles.
Woody Allen is still a pedophile, who raped one of his own young step-daughters and married another.
People who defend that shit are SICK.
It was mandatory but essentially had to be done on your own time.
In the US, if you are an hourly non-exempt employee, that is overt wage theft in all 50 states. If a task is made mandatory by an employer, they must pay you for the time you spent on it.
I know this doesn’t help you now, of course, but it’s good to know in case you run into it again and feel like pushing back with a report to the Dept of Labor.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted; out of curiosity I just now tried it on Windows myself (Google Chrome 120.0.6099.130 Official Build 64-bit) by typing mozilla.org, clicking “Firefox downloads” at the top, and selecting the one for Windows. It sailed through almost instantly.
BUT - just because it worked for me personally on a completely different machine, OS, and installer doesn’t mean OP is misrepresenting what happened to him; competitive app blocking has certainly happened with Edge. For all we know it’s some Google A/B trial bullshit, no telling at this point.

I’m not homeless, I’m not hungry, but it enrages me on behalf of those who are.
It’s one thing to throw food away, especially multiple meals’ worth – which is kind of shitty in itself when you could give or donate it away, even fast food at the end of a night shift – but legally it’s just property. The owner can do what they want with it. No harm, no foul.
But it’s quite another to make a show of throwing food away AND going out of your way to be an asshole about it (licking it and making it uneatable, as a pointed message) in the declining world we live in right now.
These employees that are doing this clearly are not going without food today, but give it a few years. Even in the best of lives, shit happens.
New to Linux, this is fantastic. Thank you.
Sir, do you have a minute to talk about our lord and savior Linux?

Thank you, yes, exactly. I don’t downvote low effort “but why” questions. but I also don’t answer them.
I am far more tired of putting effort into lengthy, carefully crafted, good-faith responses only to have gotten sucked in by some asshole looking for an argument than I am willing to accept further.
Speaking personally, from the earliest days of Reddit, I have taken unexpected downvotes for a genuine question as code for “keep lurking/look it up” and unless I am stuck on search words it has never failed me. I recommend this for others.
TL;DR: If you sincerely have a question, try putting as much effort into your question as you’d like to receive by way of a response. And if you’re just an argumentative troll (not you, CoggyMcFee, lol) then fuck you. Seriously. With a rusty, tetanus-bearing lawnmower blade. Sideways.
GPOs just edit the windows register so you could just apply all the changes using regedit instead of using a GPO.
No. Because GPO involves differing rights as well as registry hacks, and because GPO allows you to change certain settings that are not in the registry at all, there are some things you can literally ONLY do via GPO. It’s been a while, but I’ve spent multiple hours trying on a few occasions when the situation demanded it, and ended up either installing Pro with GPO or abandoning the effort altogether.
I know it has a shitty “95-ish” look to it, but https://distrowatch.com/ is quite possibly your best resource in finding out at a glance which of the distros you’re interested in are stable or rolling, and how popular they are. Go down the page hit ranking on the right, and start clicking: you will see the root build of every distro, whether it’s stable or rolling, the last release date, links to reviews, etc.
It won’t get you to your final decision, but it will get you to a shortlist. And then you can start making LiveUSB sticks to test drive your distros of choice in RAM without having to install anything. There are very few distros that require a full install to try out; if you run into one you can always use old hardware or a spare disk, etc. Mint has a LiveUSB of all its DE choices, Pop!OS has a LiveUSB, you just need the USB sticks and something like Rufus to make them with, and you’re ready to test drive.
Well worth the trouble, IMO. Good luck.
As someone who is currently in the process of moving everything to Linux, this is a genuinely helpful comment. I have it saved now, lol. Thank you for taking the time to write this out, much appreciated.
