  • Microsoft is long finished attracting new customers. They've had a monopoly for a long ass time, and they're not going back to loss leading and innovation, ever. We're well into the last enshittification phase where the trapped customers are bled as hard as possible without killing them (too quickly). In this case, Microsoft only cares about large corporate customers with enough money to pay for the extortionary enterprise subscription licenses and Azure costs, and too much tech debt to feasibly switch to other platforms.

    In other words, Microsoft doesn't give a shit about you, the individual consumer. You don't matter to them anymore. Even small businesses are dropping off Microsoft's circle of concern, in the fashion of VMware over the last couple of years post acquisition by Broadcom.

  • If I was still a solo sysadmin, today I would be reevaluating the feasibility of dumping Windows altogether.

  • Waiting for the various propaganda networks to warm the populace up for the idea first.

  • "trotting along" throughout history often involved routine cannibalism and slavery, and has never involved the environmental catastrophe we're barrelling headfirst into

  • That tracks. About a third of people are hopeless morons, just in general. Look up any statistic about how many people believe something stupid, it's always about a third.

  • Not just Hegseth. The US military has always used BMI as part of fitness standards.

  • Yeah, East Coast might be your thing. Everyone there always seems like they're in a big hurry. Not my thing, but maybe yours

  • Why not just move to where there are no people and you can walk whatever speed you want? 🤷🏻

  • "and then what?"

    "Then I'll have $200Tn and all your water and electricity."

  • Ooh, Trump finally did it this time 🫩

  • How

  • Zug zug

  • Also the only planet that has parasitic wasps 😐

  • I recently switched from Win11 to Debian KDE. Most things just worked. If you have no tolerance for troubleshooting and fixing occasional problems, and no real reason to switch, it makes sense for you to stay put.

    If you find yourself with a cheap or spare machine doing nothing else, slap Linux on that and horse around with it to see if you want to explore running it as your daily.

  • That's a reputable looking domain if I've ever seen one

  • Reolink sells reasonably priced PoE camera and NVR kits. Check their official store on eBay for deals. Last I checked it was all local, no cloud BS. I'd still isolate it though.

  • If only the poor impacts on business could have been predicted based on past behavior somehow. But I guess if the brightest CEOs in the US couldn't have seen this coming, what hope did anyone else with two eyes have?
