Well, IMO the real security problem is forcing all the people who want to be part of Montreal's largest university to give all their personal data to a shitty, delinquent, soulless company like Microsoft. The stupid 2FA application is also a huge discriminating factor, preventing anyone who doesn't have a compatible phone from studying at our university. But now MS have the phone # of 98% of our community. Did you know that the ms 365 suite has literally been banned from academic institutions in Germany, due to security concerns? On our side, we pay millions every year to this company for dysfunctional services for which free, secure alternatives exist. Universities shouldn't be on their knees to big business, that's what I think, and no, I don't feel any guilt about using secure open-source software.
It's not secure if the user installing the software doesn't understand network security at all (which you don't, and admitted) you seem to think security is an issue with your personal data being harvested whereas I'm talking about actual security like threat actors hacking into your storage arrays to encrypt or steal information.
But it's fine, I'll take my ten years doing security analysis and network engineering and go. Clearly you're an IT expert since you can install Linux.
This place is full of people like you, who think they understand the way things work but are focused on big scawy Microsoft meanwhile installing god knows fucking what from god knows fucking where. I use Linux and love it, but script kiddies like you are the bain of actual IT professionals existence.
Dude, are you unhappy or something? Or some kind of Microsoft fanboy maybe? Because you have the attitude of 6 yo kid. Adults should usually be able to express themselves without falling into personnal insults.
Are you mad that people want the control of their computers, does that makes you feel irrelevant? Is that why you say things like " This place is full of people like you" (lol)? Flashnews, it's 2023, everybody uses computers everyday, you're not special. Maybe you should look at other professions, you don't seem to enjoy your job.
So yeah, if you can't have a discussion without behaving like an asshole, take your 10 year experience in whatever and go, nobody cares.
the chain of replies are so long that im seeing colors on wefwef/voyager comments that I've never seen before
