Great news is that I’m using this bullshit to switch over all my PCs to Linux.

This is great news.

However highlighting the “enormous amount of effort” came off as immflamatory as a headline. Now to prove to them that we appreciate the effort they put into this.

Sweet.

In the next 5 years nobody will have to use computers anymore.

I love how AI is being used to solve problems that don’t exist! It’s the biggest boon for society ever!

Sealion infestations are problematic. Be sure to call your local exterminator promptly whenever you encounter one.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to uninstall OneDrive & Teams from my work computer thanks to a Windows update reinstalling them. My IT director is getting frustrated by it too because he has to keep updating GP and other tools to prevent them from showing up and users inadvertently putting shit into the MS Cloud accidentally because OneDrive likes to insert itself the default documents folder.

I also prefer my start bar to be on the left hand side of my left-most monitor in vertical orientation (I run a tri-montior setup in a tie fighter configuration).

As already stated, the new right-click menu is also ass, and I keep having to fix it to get the actual fucking options I want/need without having to click a button to “show more options” from a menu that loads noticeably slower, or shift-right-click to get the intended menu.

There’s a ton of other little annoyances, like removing or relocating configuration flows with inferior tools that don’t support everything that used to be configurable. AI search in my start bar (so glad for PowerToys Run).

Windows 11 has done a great job at removing user control over their OS by forcing changes (often inferior to the old version/way) and forcing optional software installs (just wait til Recall is sitting on everybody’s machine).

Things that are nice: A better networking stack, blue tooth management, and a powerful built-in windows layout manager (Snap Layouts)

Why are you being so weird?

It doesn’t matter, I don’t believe or live by your book. Neither does she.

But your book does say that, you, as a believer, shouldn’t force your beliefs down somebody else’s throat by judging them.

So kindly, fuck off with this shit and let people live their lives however they want unless it impacts you. Just like I’ll do, but I’ll do it because I’m a descent fucking person.

Maybe, just maybe, she doesn’t believe in that book and doesn’t want your values shoved down her throat.

Maybe she wants to be able to dress comfortably without the rules of some goat herder’s book of fairytale and moral values.

Or the right to speak without a man to speak for her.

Or to open a bank account without her husband or father being on the account too.

Or one of the other thousands of things women have had to deal with, outside of fucking sexual freedom, or still deal with thanks to this holy book.

And lastly the freedom to have sex with whatever another consenting adult or adults as she pleases without your fucking judgment.

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Mathew 7:1-2

Right?

Like maybe she wants to be able to dress comfortably without the rules of some goat herder’s book of fairytale and moral values.

Or the right to speak without a man to speak for her.

Or to open a bank account without her husband or father being on the account too.

Or one of the other thousands of things women have had to deal with, outside of fucking sexual freedom, or still deal with thanks to this holy book.

Also, she should be able to have sex freely with other consenting adults without shame too.

Woamen*

I’d say the same thing in a memes community since this showed up in my “Everything” feed.

Your response came off very mansplainy and misogynist by overlooking a ton of shit and at the end went to, “lol, she wants to have sex!”.

Nice mansplain.

This shouldn’t be our responsibility to “fix”.

This is what charge backs are for FYI.

“I’m sorry, but you failed to provide a service. Either give me a full refund or I will start the charge back process with my credit card company and you’ll be forced to explain why your refund policy violates their ToS and any penalties that arise from that process.”

Budgeting and priorizing other projects ahead of the switch. Being a DIY/Maker/Tech Nerd isn’t cheap.

Been wanting to switch to Home Assistant for a while now. Soon as this up-charge hits “mandatory”, looks like I’ll be making the switch.

Co-pilot is amazing and terrible at the same time.

When it’s suggesting the exact line of code I expect to write, amazing. When it can build the permissions I need for a service account for a TF module I’ve written, amazing

However, it will suggest poorly formed, un-optimized code all too often.

That said, knowing when to use/not use/modify the suggested code has greatly improved my productivity and consistency.

I just wish it was an either/or situation.

I don’t always need my lawn mower/blower/weed trimmer on batteries. I wish I could easily plug them in when doing light dut work close to the house. But then they couldn’t tie me into their battery ecosystem as easily.
