    Windows 11 is literately the best windows ever.

    It got me to install Linux, ditch Google as my phone provider and take an even harder stance against all these fucked up billionaire monsters.

    Thanks windows 11!

    The past month that I’ve spent using Fedora with a 5070ti and playing games like Arc Raiders and KCD 2 has genuinely been the most stable my computer has been in about a decade.

    Also a lot of my smaller issues like USB and Conrroller disconnects disappeared completely.

    I thought I was going crazy.

    Windows is awful garbage.

    What a fucking dumb ass. If true that’s the kind of thing you keep secret. Admitting 30% of your code base was created by AI is like bragging you switched all your steel parts for plastic. Literally nobody is impressed by you doing something cheaper and shittier. How stupid can you possibly be. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised MS leaders have been making absolutely braindead decisions for the last 15 years

    … at the height of their arrogance, the climax of their hubris, they decided that their own spaghetti was so substantial, so impressive, of such bulk, they confused it for divinity; they believed that it could organize and improve itself.

    Such was the nature and extent of MicroSlop’s trangressions against the very nature of noodles, against those ancient ones who wove together the very fibers of reality itself.

    uninstall workaround

    I guess it technically is a workaround for problems with Windows to just uninstall it and use something else.

    Still running Win11 on my gaming rig. The very first time an update breaks something again it’s gone.

    Ya, I’m sure the AI code isn’t helping, but is it materially any different? I spent way too many long nights trying to unfuck Windows servers after updates failed to install correctly. And that was well before the AI Slop Boom. Even more fun is when the update reported installing correctly but the Nessus scans came back showing the old version of DLLs still in the System32 folder. There is a reason no one installs Windows patches on day 1. At minimum, you give them a week to let the foolhardy and fanboys get their disks slapped by Microsoft, again.

    Going back to my days supporting Window 2000/2003, I remember working in environments where management had decreed that we would not install updates ever, because of too much downtime due to bad updates. Even today, updating in OT environments can be very difficult due to shitty software running on really old versions of Windows. At least that stuff can usually be kicked off the network and left to rot in isolation.

      I love how they earned this reputation, so rather than repair that reputation, the next move was to force update their users whether they like it or not.

      I remember working in environments where management had decreed that we would not install updates ever. . .

      That’s…definitely a decision that puts a lot of trust in Microsoft’s security. Lol

      Windows Update: Damned if you do, Damned if you don’t.

        It was a very different time. Security was still something that happened mostly at the network perimeter, and even then not much. Routers without firewalls were very common and things like SQLSlammer were much more possible.
