It seems like we’re at a real turning point for Linux adoption. I’m an Apple nerd, but I love seeing people switch to Linux and write about what a (mostly) positive experience it is. Cheers to my fellow nerds getting off the screaming pile of garbage MS if forcing on people who just want a computer that works.

Yah, that's bullshit. They hate their users and want them dead but buying things somehow.

Microslop has been a rotten cesspool since it's birth. 50 years of consistently fucking over it's customers, then promising to change followed by more screwing so please forgive me when I say to this Don't... Talk ... Shit ...

Fire your current dipshit in chief, issue abject apologies and realise you peaked with 7.

Didn't they have to pull a botched update like last week?

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

Source code or perish.

That is corporate speak for Microsoft is going to spend millions on a PR campaign.

[–] hummingbird@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

The problem is upper management. Without touching that there is no hope for improvement.

I personally just want a glorified calculator (that works on text too) I can trust in doing what I tell it to do. And not some "experience" that does all kinds of unspecified things in the background. But that's just me.

Translation: They going to try to “marketing” their way out of this hole.

Nothing about Windows or Microsoft will fundamentally change.

Let me guess: instead of improving their products, they're going to get the US security industrial complex to silence the critics.
