What do Europeans have to do with this?
Oh right, US-ians think any first-world country must be in Europe…

How do you know it was completely useless to anyone else though?

I think of it like asking a question on reddit and only reading the first reply.
You never know if the person replying is an expert or someone at the first peak of a dunning-kruger graph.

I’ll just abstain until the system is magically fixed or until a third party somehow gets a majority vote. Until then, I’m perfectly fine with the obviously worse party winning.
I didn’t directly vote for them, I only chose to let them win, so it’s not my fault if they win.

Yeah the hardware is pretty solid. It’s the software that’s the problem.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Oh no, not “the” government of “the” nation

Nah, I still enjoy the content, and it wouldn’t make a grain of difference as far as global wasted energy goes.

If you really are concerned about wasted energy though, you shouldn’t be on your computer/phone browsing lemmy.
