  • From the article:

    Satya Nadella is burning decades of customer good will chasing the latest tech fad.

    I’d disagree with hat sentiment. I’d put it as Microsoft is finally giving people the final push they needed to break the Microsoft chain they had around their ankles.

    Nobody uses Microsoft products because they’re the best, they never were, they never will be. Microsoft is the VHS of the video tapes, it is as big as it is due to deception, marketing, and force. L

    Let this be the obligatory “install Linux already” post, but I’m saying it as “switch everything away from US vendors to open source” as they all have turned evil and corrupt. Open source software is the only software left that can still give users what they need in a fair way.

    Install Linux, setup some nextcloud instance, break that fucking Microsoft chain


  • Yet everyone uses it.

    It because it’s great, it’s the absofuckinglutely worst of the worst, but they got key players to use it, the rest is forced into it with their closed off ecosystem.

    There is a reason why Microsoft web products work so much worse oninix than they do on windows, and it’s exactly what you think: sabotage. Word drops half of the text you type? Must be a Firefox issue, no? Yeah no, change the user agent to say you’re edge on windows and all of the sudden it works. Still shittily, but it works as shittily as it does on windows.

    When you feel the need to sabotage your already badly working products just to force your customers to stay with you, it really does show that you’re just full of shit

    Fuck Microsoft














  • I’m somewhat split on this

    Basically you’re right, the US should not dictate what other countries transport between themselves, but…

    There are more than enough materials that indeed should not be allowed to be shipped anywhere. Heroine is one of those materials, there is no good application for that, period. Anything needed for actual medical or research purposes can be acquired via other channels. Two countries wanting to transport cocaine are up to no good, thatuch should be obvious.

    The bigger problems are that these assholes act as if criminals are the same as a country. You’re not at war with criminals, we have a justice system for that. Criminals go to court, and a judge and jury will sentence them and their main function is not to incarcerate the criminal, it’s to ensure the innocent aren’t incarcerated. You just cut all that away and started murdering possible criminals, but definitely a bunch of innocent citizens.

    Murdering innocent civilians is nothing new for the US, but it is new that it is done so brazenly, so openly, and worst of all, with pride.

    And basically nothing is done to stop this. These no kings protests had a net zero effect, nothing changed
