I remember doing a presentation. And I hate doing those, since I do databases and that shit. Don't like to do that work but power trough. Saved it to my documents, but turns out now it saves on one fuckive mydocs not the real mydocs, new feature microslop says. Now one fuckive said it had an error syncing and try later. It never synced the file dissapeared. Had to redo it. I cursed every second of that shit. Thanks for literally nothing one fuckive...

My god, windows is a joke.
Manager shared their screen on a call last week. The horror!
I think I'm going to be sick.
Bruh
Omg that’s amazing! Lmao

Do you know that after taste of bad soda? Most soda, really, but I mean specifically that awful post-sweet flavor you get after drinking a C-brand warm soda, or those extremely artificial candy that just makes you go "I just tasted an industrial machine and corn syrup", those that really make you feel like you're tasting some awful combination of lab grade chemicals and no food that's ever existed in nature is present in there.
Imagining that taste in your mouth? That's how I feel whenever I see or interact with Windows nowadays.
You can't even call it "personal" computing anymore
It infuriates me to no end that the term "PC" has become indistinguishable from "computer running windows." Firstly, any personal computer, whether it's running Windows, MacOS, Linux, TempleOS, etc is a PC/personal computer. Secondly, as you pointed out, Microslop does not allow users to take personal ownership of their computer.
The term PC has been used to mean x86 compatible machines designed to run Microsoft operating systems for 45 years now; IBM started using the term for their model 5150 in 1981. It was too generic to trademark but they did trademark "IBM Personal Computer" and "IBM-PC". You had other platforms like Apple Macintosh, Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, and among them the IBM Personal Computer. That was one company's branding. If you were releasing software, you'd say "For Mac, Amiga and PC."
It just so happens the one with the very generic name also happened to be made of almost entirely off-the-shelf parts and a third-party OS they didn't bother to secure exclusive rights to, so the only thing they really held IP rights over was the BIOS. Compaq engineered a non-infringing BIOS, and boom the PC was now an open standard, and hence it was the one that got widely adopted. "IBM-Compatible" was attempted for awhile, but that kinda died when IBM bowed out of the market entirely, "x86-compatible" is awkward, "Intel-compatible" is also awkward because the 64-bit extensions are actually AMD's doing, and MS-DOS or MS-Windows compatible is incorrect because other OSes are available. So...we use "PC" to describe the ecosystem as a whole for lack of any better term.
I’ve taken to calling it my “desktop computer” because PC is a meaningless term

I fucking hate one drive and how it is constantly shoved in your face. Thanks, let me use my computer and save to my computer, that is right here beside me. I know where my computer is and who has access to it. Thanks! I built my computer with storage capacity on purpose?!
Reading this stuff as a Linux user is a real trip. Y'all know you don't have to put up with this, right?
Well, when the company wants something running on Windows, you got to keep one around.
I don't have a problem with it mirroring my documents to a cloud service. But I want to decide to use that service first, and set up the specific folders its going to mirror. And I want to retain copies of those files on my local drive, where they can be used just like they're files on the local drive (because that's where they are). And if I decided to stop using that service, I should be able to continue using the files the same way as before.
People that don't want to use the cloud service (or don't want to use specifically Microsoft's cloud service), should not be badgered about it at every opportunity.
Every fucking update it tries to dark pattern me into setting it up. They even have the gall to be like "okay but we're going to ask again" when you refuse it. I already have a backup, just fuck off.
Yea- Decade of the Linux Desktop!
And people STILL think I'm weird weird for hating 11
Windows is becoming increasingly hostile and really I think the only reason people and businesses still use it is mass Stockholm syndrome.
It's the ultimate vendor lock. All of our productivity software is on windows, we designed our productivity stacks around windows.
F'real. And lots of specialized software has marginal support for Linux at best, so it ends up being a chicken/egg problem. There's no business software for Linux because nobody uses Linux for business because there's no business software for Linux.
I hope many other IT orgs will realize that it's so much easier at the end of the day to thinapp them through a platform like Omnissa or whatever Citrix is calling theirs now.
Then, hopefully, Linux numbers go up and it gets treated like the first-class citizen it deserves to be.
The idea of atomic linux desktops in an enterprise setting tickles me in a way that would get me called into HR.
IGEL OS could potentially get this kind of pull going from medical/govt primarily to more general business
Never heard of it. But we are a .mil contractor (among other things...we put a lot of R&D into civilian tech and biomed, and that's almost entirely funded by the blood money, so my conscience is conflicted, spare me more lecturing) and security is paramount.
So I'm pretty much telling everyone I know at work about this now. Especially as we are teeing off a move towards more VDI, more cloud-first (.mil makes us lag behind on that stuff). This...it's everything I wanted.
Let me just check with you that i'm interpreting this comment correctly: I accidentally informed you of a Linux platform that is highly interesting to you and fits your exact use case? Well great! happy to help. I work for a HW OEM that is "IGEL Ready" so I'm familiar with their platform and it's use cases, but I don't use it myself.
so, bit of a non sequitur here but: I'm interested in other work if you are familiar with some roles looking for a "solutions architect" type person and want to chat about that sorta thing in the DMs.
People look at me weird for using Signal, Linux, VPN, Filen, etc. Like sorry I don't like sucking capitalist dick?
I like my dick very leftish. 🤤
I get a lot of that too. "It works just fine" is a common justification I hear from people 🤦♂️

All together now: "YOU SHOULD TRY LINUX!"
‘Work laptop’. Unless you’re self employed or work with a very generous IT manager, you get what you’re given.
I asked IT if they could disable onedrive and they did for me, I was surprised they said yes but they didnt care at all. Doesnt hurt to ask
I pretend that the button does a "cha ching" sound every time I press it. I'm paid the same hourly rate for doing my job or dismissing microsoft dialog buttons.

I find it amazing that I can't play offline Xbox 360 games, that I own, on series S, without Gamepass, without first signing out of Xbox.
Wtf?
I cancelled Gamepass a few weeks ago and the first "tell" that it was cancelled is that my kids Minecraft Java Edition wouldn't work because it was using my Gamepass. I could've sworn I had merged my Mojang account years ago, but couldn't get my kid back online without buying it again.
Yeah, don’t use Microsucks eh
It's really strange how in-browser onedrive will sometimes prompt you with a "Please sign in!", with two buttons, sign in, and ignore/later or something. And then you click that and it keeps being signed in. Lol, lmao even. Code written by absolute tic tacs. Am I fucking signed in or not?!
I have to use outlook for work. Frequently it will ask me to log in, then when I do so it gets stuck in a loop of logging me out as soon as I log in and asking me to try again. This happens until I clear my cookies. I have never had this happen with anyone besides Microsoft.
Also it prompts you when logging in to "sign in with all apps on the device", which I definitely do not want. But this means when I sign in on something like power point or word (because I guess liscence keys aren't adequate anymore?) it then signs me out of other apps which use a Microsoft account.
I no longer use windows for personal use, but I'm stuck with it for work
Presumably
- This is for onedrive specifically
- Something is trying to access something in onedrive which throws this error
