It is a cold dark night at Microsoft Headquarters. The moon is blacked out by the clouds and rain and thunder beat relentlessly against the office windows.
The head UX engineer stares at the prompt nervously. He hesitates, his whole life has been building up to this point. He is going to control where windows is going and shape the lives of billions of people.
“You got this,” He mumbles to himself, “you know what to do.”
He grabs a screenshot of his desktop and types the fateful words. Make this desktop make more money
The AI says processing…
All they had to do is built an actually good search into explorer, they didn’t do that for 20 years and now they force this trash on us… Good thing I ditched Windows last year and soon will sell all my Microsoft shares, that company has no future or vision it’s disgusting
MS is likely spent all thier R&D on AI, and building datacenters, they want to somehow justfiy recoup the losses from the “profitless LLM”
Windows, the first ever sloperating system.
I like somethings sloppy, but definitely not my OSes
Linux has been very nice to me. I will look back fuck shitdows.
Windows obsession with destroying their own file explorer is bizarre.
I cannot understand why a user would ever want this
Surely they’ll make the file explorer faster now that they’re “upgrading” it.
The thing is that if MS concentrated on providing a bulletproof experience, a sane licensing mode, with a low, cheap, entry bar, they would just keep being the top dog forever.
Now they are just giving market share to Linux and MacOS for free.
it really is wild that they’re pushing away so many people, who otherwise would just sit with them forever, just because profits must always increase
like all they have to do is stop making things worse and people will stay with them and continue joining them. that’s literally all they have to do. and they can’t do it.
Most public companies and governments focus entirely on short term wins with zero consideration for the future.
Microslop is no different.
The current version of macOS, Tahoe, is also atrocious. It’s completely unusable on a desktop, it feels like they want to make it work like an iPad.
For the better or worse, the only good OS is now Linux.
Well, the only piece of Apple tech I currently own is an iPad. I bought the thing through a pretty nice offer from my telco, and for a pretty specific use case, running the Affinity suite on the move without lugging my beefy laptop around.
When I saw how they went full idiot with their glass shit for the UI (hellooo, Windows Aero), I stopped allowing updates. The fact that to reduce transparency and effects to make the thing half usable you have to go into accessibility settings says it all.
This is just pure idiocy and desperation at this point.
I’m surprised at this. If I was given the job to fuck up windows, I wouldn’t be able to get such ludicrous ideas
How many times can they shoot their own foot? They must aim like Star Troopers…
“Rico!”
“Kaboom?”
“Yes Rico, kaboom!”

I just got a colonoscopy and the doc said she found some copilot in there
Terminal
Powershell, acktually
It makes sense for it to be there
Eww
Only if it’s more than a yard deep.
Install Linux Problem Solved.
Looks cool. But holy crap. Windows search is so bad that you need everything.exe. now it’s gotten to the point where we need a third party explorer to do the most basic tasks without being bombarded with ads or AI crap.
I just really… REALLY wish citrix and epic worked on Linux. I would switch in a heart beat if this gets pushed into the wild.

Epic games work on Linux via Heroic. GOG, Amazon, and Epic games all work through it.
Epic as in electronic medical records, but did not know that. Pretty neat.
Ah, had never heard of that before. Sounds like we both learned something. <3
everything saved my work life
and I’m not even on windows 11 yet
