I suppose #Windows is doing great if #Microsoft now includes an Ubuntu install in their Windows VM images.

Immer noch ein strunzdummes #Betriebssystem, das nicht erkennt, wenn die #Festplatte voll ist. 🤦♂️

1. Submit a pull request to #zlib that changes the library filename on #Windows.
2. Pull request gets merged, and you effectively break everything that linked dynamically to zlib.
3. Attack everyone who reported this as a bug.

A shoutout to the systems engineers that made Microsoft Windows so fragile, that a single file browser (explorer.exe) freezing causes my Edge downloads to pause, and closing the frozen file browser closes all my file browsers.
My ADHD brain needed those open file browsers so I could keep track of all my in-progress tasks. How do I resume now? Yeah, I suppose I could come up with a better system than that.

#Windows should become a little bit less shitty as it is:
#Microsoft finally makes a few concrete promises about #Windows11 improvements

В мои школьные годы почти все сверстники умели делать простые видеоролики (накидать фоток под музыку). За это нужно сказать спасибо Windows XP.

People using Windows11 and Windows10: which one do you prefer, and why?
Did you encounter any major problems with either?

Windows 11 finally has a real sudo command (since 24H2) 🚀
Run admin commands directly in the terminal without reopening PowerShell as Administrator. Small change — huge productivity boost.

So, #microslop changed "My Computer" to "This PC" when they turned the OS into spyware, but when updates are installing, it's suddenly "don't turn off *your* computer".

#Windows11 will not compress a file with an apostrophe in the name, nor will it search for all files with an apostrophe. I fucking LOATH Windows. Fucking LOATH it.
All I wanted to do was archive files so I could fucking WIPE windows from my life. My sons' computer will then be free to be Debian.
Did I mention how much I LOATH Windows?

Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS
🤣
Unfortunately, the upgrade requires NPU processors, which will lock out millions from getting into the new ecosystem
So glad I don't deal with Microsoft any more. Thanks Valve and Steam for getting games and VR up to scratch on Linux so I don't have to have anything to do with this abomination.

I was tempted to type sftp://... Into the location bar, but I'm not THAT stupid. I found an old 2tb usb2 drive direct copy is chugging at a staggering 3M/s. Hopefully done by breakfast.
update: now says 26 hours for 150GB. Did I mention I loathed Windows? This, of course, is a recycling of a victim box of #Windows11.
@teledyn@mstdn.ca2026-04-10 16:09:20
Ok, so, I awake, the copying is done, I go to check, #windows11 says hey you haven't updated (in three years), would you like to reschedule? Fuck yeah, I say, gimme 5 weeks. Ok it says, I click to unmount the USA drive. Windows says its busy, I close all apps, still busy AND btw, your system is too old I'm-a gonna update you fucking RIGHT NOW!
I pulled the drive hoping NTFS doesn't trash the drive and I hit the power button. I fucking LOATH Microsoft.
