We look for things...

Easy, you just subtract a higher voltage from a lower voltage. Thats just maths.

Alternatively, just swap the red and black probes on your multimeter, and now your positive voltage is negative.

Or, just twist that knob on your oscope.

So yes but... there are still no good alternatives to Active Directory in the context of managing IT for an organization with 10,000+ users, thousands of endpoints, and millions of files which need to maintain proper association with individual user accounts and be delivered to specific endpoints on demand.

Google Workspace is the most feature-rich competitor, but it is a pale shadow of the level of IT infrastructure that Microsoft's ecosystem provides.

For Microsoft to fade away, someone needs to build a competing large-scale IT management system that provides the same kind of functionality that Active Directory does.

Er, yes, that's my point? It's up to the business to make that choice.

Um, how would you define legitimacy in this context?

It's not really unprovable when we know that on average less than 50% of eligible voters actually vote.

China is basically exporting environmental damage to other countries right now in order to continue inflating their own economy. It's why they have ocean-going sand dredging boats.

"A government is a body of people - usually, notably, ungoverned."

The point being that, when you say soemthing like "this religion killed those people" or "that nation killed those people" what you mean is "these people killed those people".

So when you ask "Disputes between who?" the answer is "Disputes between people."

In a practical sense it's true that most businesses can't afford to not accept Visa & MasterCard.

This is not a choice made by banks. The credit payment networks are not banks and are not owned and operated by banks.

A business does have the choice to accept other forms of payment besides Visa & MasterCard, which is the point I was making. If you want to use a different method to pay for something, the business has to accept that form of payment.

So, I'm not assuming that you or the person I replied to are in the US specifically.

But in the context of the US, if you (generally) chose not to vote in the 2024 election then you are guilty of doing nothing to prevent the atrocities committed by the Trump administration, when you in fact had the opportunity to do something - which is to say that you are guilty of negligence.

If you encouraged others to not vote then you are complicit in the actions of the Trump administration, because you helped put them in power.

There is no "blame-shifting game" being played here, as there is no need to shift anything. The blame is direct, valid, and undeniable.

Only toxic positivity in the building!

Congratulation! You have high-roaded the environment into the dumpster! You are complicit in all the actions of the election winners, because you helped put them in office!

May all your moralizing keep you warm at night.
