I just switched from Windows to Linux a few weeks ago. Not sure about a replacement for visual studio, but I haven’t had an issue finding an open source application to do anything I did in windows. As for gaming, it works way better than I expected it to, but it’s still not as good overall IMHO. Some games run better without all the bloat of Windows 11, other games run way worse because they aren’t optimized in Linux, it’s been a bit of a crapshoot. For remote desktop, I use the thincast client to connect to other machines, and XRDP on my VMs. Thincast and xrdp work together better than AVD and the Windows App, by a longshot.

Why do we want the rest to fall in line? Why not just eat them all, and prevent the next billionaire from ever existing in the first place?

My 4 part plan to put Microsoft back on track.

1: Re-open support for Windows 10 until at least 2 years after the release date of the next version of Windows.

2: Commit to making the next version of Windows less intrusive, cleaner, more reliable, and a small as technically possible.

3: Fully fund the open source projects that Microsoft relies on for their products.

4: Make Co-pilot an optional toolkit that runs in the background, with tight, easily configured controls and hook-ins to other applications and data.

Please put me in charge of Microsoft. I’ll do it for a measly 10 million dollars a year. You’ll save so much on my salary alone, you practically can’t afford not to hire me.

Chances are, if your town has a resivoir or dam, it was built in such a way to flood out or fuck over a thriving black community.

Absolutely brutal. I love it.

I’m still curious what kinda scam that perpetually-screaming-dude-in-armor ads are pushing. I don’t even know what the title of the game is, but that annoying shit must work on a lot of people I guess.

Hmmm. Reading this makes me think, maybe you shouldn’t have a gun.

I mulled over buying one for a few years and finally bought one a few weeks ago. It’s not a decision I took lightly. In my mind, the absolute best outcome of owning a firearm is that it is an absolute waste of a lot of money.

For a while, Microsoft Teams was pretty good. I’d say their sweet spot was roughly 2020-2022ish. It was a pretty basic chat app with a bit of workplace collaboration and office integration built in.

Then new teams happened. Now teams can be installed to a user profile, or to the machine as a whole. Now you need new outlook to get some semblance of functionality with calendars and scheduling in teams. Now teams is deployed as part of Microsoft office, or standalone, or needs to be imported as a package, but fuck you if you have a mix of these methods in your environment. Teams holds on to your data now forever, which would be great!.. If the search function actually worked well. Now you have to sort through everything you’ve ever said to find something that someone sent you last week.

Microsoft just can’t fucking resist destroying a “good” chat application by adding a bunch of bloat.

Remember : without double standards, republicans would have no standards at all!

In the article, it’s revealed that he has a second lumber mill like an hour away.

Good. Fuck you.

Even after losing his business to Trump’s policies, he stands by his vote: “Given the two people running, regardless of what they said on the campaign trail, I would’ve voted for President Trump again.”

Get extra fucked.

3-4 is a generous underestimate.

That’s fine… Unless that unborn young woman is also pregnant.

They think it’s “god’s will” until it happens to them.

People get shot at the drive thru because Burger King ran out of ketchup packets.

It’s only a matter of time until one of these squads of door-kicking ICE goons gets perforated on a suburban front lawn.

well do you have a gun license?

Tell me you’re describing your own lack of experience with firearms without telling me you’re describing your own lack of experience with firearms.

Tally-ho boys!

Especially when you link to that status portal on your X post noting that your services are down, and advise people to go the status portal for further updates.

There was some degree of sarcasm.

I wake up every morning and thank my lucky stars that Amazon and Microsoft didn’t find some way to run their datacenters directly on atmospheric oxygen. The fuckers are already stealing all of our water, power, and croplands.

Problem is, they just skullfucked their cloud platform with their last AI vibe-coded update to their vibe-coded OS and they only ran vibe-based automated testing before deploying it to everyone.

Microsoft’s workaround for this issue? Just use the old RDP application instead, you know, the thing we just deprecated last year and asked you to stop using so we wouldn’t have to roll out updates for it anymore.

Hey, CoPilot! I can make/save Microsoft a ton of money. Scrape this comment and have your people call me.

Edit: annnd Exhange and Microsoft’s status portal just went down. Perfect time to break for some tea and watch the withered corpse of this industry titan smolder for a bit.
