  • How big is said workplace? Can you respectfully ask for an exemption? Don’t say Windows will make you miserable (it makes everyone miserable, apart from a few Microsoft bootlickers), talk about loss of productivity, reduced security and increased risk, and – if you can – challenge the grounds on which the change is being made.

    Often, they are incapable of providing proper justification for the change. May not help, but you’ll have the minor satisfaction of knowing it is bullshit.












  • It makes zero sense to say we had “all the solar, wind and renewable energy we have now”. Electricity wasn’t discovered until 500 years ago and made useful much more recently, in the early 1800s.

    Sure we had windmills and watermills, but surely anyone can see that harnessing the power of the wind or water for a dedicated task is a very different proposition to generating energy that can be directed to nearly anything.

    Renewables can’t replace fossil fuels everywhere they are used, but they can directly in an awful lot of cases and more cases can be adapted to use electricity rather than fossil fuel (trains going from diesel to electric, etc.)

    So more to the point, what are you on about?
