Microsoft is on a fuck up their product speedrun, ain’t it?

I’ve been reading " Windows 11 does this and that without asking your permission." Almost daily now. I wonder when Windows 11 will fingerbang my SO without permission next.

I think at this point it’s clear they have a core base of users who (for one reason or another) aren’t going anywhere no matter how much abuse they pile on top. It’s MS’s version of that 38% or whatever of people who are clearly going to vote Trump even if he reveals himself to be the literal devil.

Fucking up their product? Why yes, each and every year they give me a new object lesson in how grateful I am to have ejected them from my life (except when paid to use Windows) in 2007. But will the company come to harm from it? I don’t think so.

And Nadella looks like the PTA meeting version of Lex Luthor.

Yes, since migrating to Linux at home in ‘04 I’ve wondered why MS users continue to take such abuse. It’s genuinely puzzling to me.

Linux nerds kind of lost the public relations war, the long-time antagonism towards “normie” users has created a lingering notion that linux is a pain in the ass and unaccomodating, even as some devs have tried to make it more inviting. It’s a difficult hump to overcome I think.

I’m waiting for Linux to make installing programs as simple as an exe

They want to play video games. They are typically not productive people.

Are you trying to drop hints to Microsoft?

Wouldn’t be so bad if onedrive backup didn’t completely restructure your folders so it can back shit up. I hate that it moves your main folders to the OneDrive folder. It creates so many issues.

You should try moving the OneDrive folder after setup for a complete shitshow. Even Microsoft products fail to read and write to the right places. If I save from word to my documents folder it never appears in OneDrive but in a separate documents folder under my user profile. Luckily OneDrive hides this from normal explorer so you can’t find that file using that
