Thanks, I always wondered, what the original was about.

What? I was sure it was something from the 80s'

For example, when his son arrives at the funeral.

I always liked to imagine that the three workers grabbed the boss, stripped the jacket, and he's the one defenestrated. But maybe that's just me.
SacrificialClam
No reason to ruin such a nice jacket
TheLesserOfTwoWeevils
There are four workers!

"Defenestated" There is a special fancy word for being thrown out a window? And of course it is using a French root, it is a fancy word after all, the commoners probably just all got dewindowed.
trigonman3
Fancy French word? How about degrenouiller? I think I spelled that correctly.
4chanrefugee
It's only defenestration if it comes from the Defenestration region of Prague.
SacrificialClam
Otherwise it's just sparkling homicide
Bunnies007
Oh, but I just love me some sparkling homicide!

a) (Neo)Latin, not French.
b) Oh, it wasn't the commoners.

ExecutiveProducerWolfDyck
Yes, they were saying "defenestratation" was for the nobles but the commoners just got "dewindowed" because they weren't worthy of the fancy new word.
RaspK
P.S.: Commoner defenestration only started becoming a thing with e.g. Communist Russia and the CIA, who have had to help people along with their "suicide." Why is that? Because those same commoners finally got their time to get access to wall-openings high enough to even *GET* defenestrated in any fashion other than when a castle was stormed.
RaspK
My point was that commoners didn't really get... "dewindowed" all that much. There is a good reason for that: the sort of person who would usually live in a place high enough that you would find them typically there and throw them out of a window as your best option to kill them, until very recently, usually was a royal, aristocrat, church official, judge, or local ruler (such as a mayor).
Dewindowing a commoner would invariably result in them bruising a rib, if getting injured at all anyway...
TryHardEggplant
Romance language much? Comes from the Latin fenestra for window.
RaspK
Fun fact: I knew when I saw it what the word meant without knowing the word fenestra itself, years ago, because of a Greek loanword for a *ship's* windowpanes: φινιστρίνι.
RaspK
P.S.: My understanding is that, as is often the case with Italian, the plural would be fenestrini, singular fenestrino ("little window"?), and the plural was treated as the singular in Greek, since -ι is a common neuter singular suffix.

Switch to Linux.

I wish they made iTunes for linux. A real one. Not Wine. Then I'd probably give up my last Windows PC. I've tried a lot of Linux music programs over time, but nothing comes close to iTunes.
JamesTDG
There's variants of WinAmp for Linux and definitely whips the llama's ass. Trust me, so long as you have local backups, it does amazingly
eiger3970
Wine is buggy, use Qemu KVM.
Hemelsblauw
Thanx
Tyggna
I don't own any apple devices, but I put my whole music collection on plex and it's been great. There's also Spotify, which is Linux native, but you don't own any of that music. Still, being clever enough with Linux sound devices, you can rip music off spotify
Hemelsblauw
Plex?
Tyggna
Oh, it's an at-home streaming server, kinda geared towards technophiles. If you've got an old computer, you just throw the Plex Media Server on there, and then every TV and smart phone as a Plex app available. url is https://plex.tv not sure what their current pricing is, I bought the lifetime pass years ago
JamesTDG
Plex is kinda circling the drain though...

I use Linux professionally. It’s great for tweaking it and getting it exactly right, but then not touching it anymore. Home desktop users will have so many little problems it will completely discourage them.

Professionally since 2008. Home desktop Linux Mint Cinnamon is smooth as silk.
TheAuthorOfTheJournalsMyBrother
I switched to it Linux a while back and one thing you need to remember is that I'm not running like, Gentoo or bare Arch on my desktop, I'm running Manjaro. There are distros made to "just work" and Manjaro in particular is a joy right out of the box.
You don't gotta configure everything yourself
smashpro1
Just switched a couple weeks ago and it's been fine, except using Sunshine/Moonlight is a bit more temperamental.

Unless you have a genius IT guy, do not setup your company on linux.
Oatmealman1
I would but it refuses to create a boot sector
JamesTDG
I'd rather deal with the quirks of Linux than deal with another GOD DAMN AD FROM MICROSOFT ON MY COMPUTER
Zoroasterisk
I use a mod that makes the windows start menu look like it did on 7, and it doesn't have ads http://www.classicshell.net/
TheAziz
I'm genuinely wondering, where are you getting the ads?
HerpaDerpaBob
On their windows computer.
mikeatike
Unless you block them, the start menu shoes ads. I shouldn't have to fuckin block ads on my god damned operating system.
Cindex1337
Start menu. And, at some points, directly within file explorer.
Do you not use Windows?
usingYourMomAsAHat
Wait what? I'm on w11 and I have none of this. Come to think of it, this might be because of my pihole. Jfc stock windows sounds like a horror show. Will be moving to Linux soon though
Cindex1337
It's because of your pihole.
TheAziz
I do. The only time I saw ads was in some freeware software, not much different from all the stuff you can find on mobile phone stores. But explorer, start menu, never. A list of all apps on the left and a bunch of quick use apps on the right.
Cindex1337
So you're selectively blind? Lmao

I just did at home (using Linux at wörk for many years tho) and I'm surprised by how well Steam games run on Proton nowadays. So far no reason to go dual boot.
RageBuddha
How is android emulation these days? Last time I was using any flavor of linux, anbox was the only option, and it was kinda ...meh... to set up and get working.
smashpro1
There's Waydroid, but I haven't tried it.
Ifekinlovesauerkraut
I've been using GNU/Linux since 1995. In my 3rd year without dual boot now. Not going back, that's for sure.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Lots of reasons, especially work related. Like running your employer's VPN of choice and of course sharing documents (no, Libre Office is not completely compatible).
Regeny
I run an OpenVPN and some WireGuard tunntels without problems. Our documents at wörk are all web-based (Google as well as Microsoft services) so a browser is all I need.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
That's sadly not a universal scenario - and I mentioned only VPN software for brevity - there's a bunch other applications where if they don't work or stop working with Linux -and- your DE you're just out of luck.
For me Linux rules on servers.
Hal1918
Check out your banks small print. Over here jurisprudence or the small print covers up to date windows + antivirus if you are hacked and your assets stolen. Not for Linux (small print)
Cindex1337
Only if the breach comes from your own computer. They can say whatever they want, but you using an unsupported platform is not enough of a reason to invalidate protection in any free country.
Hal1918
Like I wrote, check out the small print. An empty bank account only gets refunded if the bank agrees to do so. Any other path requires a not empty bank account
Cindex1337
Incorrect.
HeresYourSauce
Or just leave the window open when you throw him out?
Maaatth
NONSENSE!
Cats2cats
Those windows were not designed to be opened.
HeresYourSauce
They're not designed to be broken on an hourly basis either.

I designated window for defenestration usage only it is! Plastic curtains shall be utilized in between usages.
