  • Feels like you bought into the MSCE religion of the early 2000's and are annoyed at all the infidels that didn't.

  • True, I've experienced that bug.

    The big different is that, depending on how knowledgeable you are, you can either report the bug, you can diagnose it (check the logs, trace and profile the calls), dig in the code, patch it or try a patch someone developed for the bug, or simply ignore it and use a different file browser. That freedom is priceless.

    With Windows you're stuck waiting for the next upgrade that may or may not break something else and brings new and exciting AI and telemetry shoved into it.

  • What's the point of even living like that?

  • Nailed it.

  • And we like it like that.

  • Also his cousin, Marvin Berry.

  • You're blaming Linux for less than perfect support of a proprietary filesystem that had zero documentation and was painfully reversed engineered by volunteers to a working state so you could say it sucks to have to reformat your precious drives. I'm so sorry you were inconvenienced.

  • I'm not looking to be anonymous, I want access to Stargate Atlantis that Amazon Prime is geo blocking from me.

    For that, VPN works as advertised.

  • To clarify a bit: Windows may not be the only reason my work machine is slow as hell, corporate endpoint protection is due to play some part in that slowness.

    Having said that, colleagues that use Macs and Linux mock us Windows users everyday for all the troubles we have with, well, everything, and they have similar endpoint protections in place.

  • You know what would impress me? That I would be able to start using my computer when I boot it in the morning.

    As it stands I have to wait some 5 to 10 minutes before the mouse pointer decides to cooperate with me. And god forbid I attempt to start a Teams meeting, either the camera, mic or screen share will not work at all.

    What the hell is this dumbass operating system doing that is more important than responding to the damn user?

    Same machine, booting Linux, lets me start working right away. No stuttering, no freezes. Go figure.

  • Excellent. I'll text you my IBAN so you can transfer me some of your irrelevant money.

  • I'm not a musician, but

    Exactly.

  • I agree with you. I don't mind local AI searching the web for topics I'm interested in and providing me with news and interesting tidbits. I'm not OK with AI having any kind of permission to run executable code.

  • May I join you?

  • I wish the rapture would come already, so all the religious extremists gain their wings and leave me the fuck alone.

  • Blasphemy! It is a great movie.

  • But do you want to be right out do you want to sleep on the sofa?

  • Keep spreading the good word, brother. Amen.
