ad here?
Sure! Here’s another ad 😊

This wouldn’t be a problem if libraries didn’t frequently make breaking changes to their api.

“Move fast and break things” is for startups with no userbase, not libraries with millions of users.

Nah, windows 10 was still sluggish spyware/adware.

I would only ever consider switching back to windows if they updated windows 7 with the latest kernel/security updates.

No apps, ads, ai, or shitty UI frameworks.

A functioning offline-only search, a cohesive/responsive UI, and control over if/when updates get installed.

Most public companies and governments focus entirely on short term wins with zero consideration for the future.
Microslop is no different.

Better performance and new exclusives.

I’m waiting until they get cheap on the second-hand markets before even considering buying one.

All but the steamdeck, because there’s no console exclusives any more and the switch can be emulated?

Don’t forget the xbox one s and xbox one x, which were after the xbox one (the third xbox, not the first xbox), but before the xbox series s and xbox series x.

Heretic!

Same with phones. Buy a second-hand flagship from a couple of years ago (eg pixel 8), and use a pre-paid plan.

It’s not just a few hundred dollars saved on the phone, it’s also a few hundred per year on less overpriced contracts.

Prepaid plans have to be more competitively priced because you can switch at will.

No no no you see, they’re using rust, which is a ‘safe’ language. That means it’s not possible to have security issues…

In theory.
But there’s no doubt all their tests will also be shat out from an LLM.

No thanks. Any software that has AI integration as one of its main selling points is shitware imo.

Who are you talking to?

I don’t think I know anyone who has been excited for a single microsoft product in the last ~15 years. It’s never “wow, that’s cool”, it’s “I wonder how they fucked it up this time”.

Huh, it’s almost like each issue has nuance.

Some companies are wealthier than most countries.

Well yeah, if you turn down a woman, she’s going to tell her friends about it.
And those friends probably won’t be interested in starting a relationship with you any time soon.

Those secret whisper campaigns sound straight out of a teenage movie, and not at all how mature people behave. I’d say you dodged a bullet in that case.

Your anecdotal experience is not representative of everyone else’s though, and neither is mine.

I don’t appreciate you resorting to personal attacks to convey your beliefs, so this will be my last reply.

Men reject women all the time, with no societal repercussions.

You have the right to not give someone a second chance, nobody is taking that away from you. I’m just saying the world isn’t always as shallow as your comments portray it to be.

Rejecting someone doesn’t mean you have decided you can do better, or that you aren’t attracted to them. It means at that exact moment in time you weren’t prepared to enter that relationship.

If you get mocked for rejecting a woman, you’re either still in school, or need to get some better friends. Because no sane, rational people would ever think less of you for who you do/don’t date.

It’s understandable why you would feel that way.

People change all the time though.
Perhaps after some of those relationships, they found personality/stability to be more important than looks.

Or maybe they’ve spent years regretting the decision, and the short relationships along the way failed because nobody could compare to you.

Or maybe they genuinely are as shallow as you think, and you’re the last resort in the dating pool.

You can never really know for sure.

No no no, you have it all wrong. Microsoft said it wasn’t their fault!
Please ignore the fact that you can fix the issue by rolling back the windows update that causes it.
