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

My desktop is KDE Plasma, but I also like to use GNOME apps.
I find funny how this weird mix of Qt GTK4 happens to be exactly like the weird mix of Win32 UWP on Windows.

Microsoft has really screwed up. When I see users who don't have a clue about computers asking about Linux because they're sick and tired of Windows, things are looking pretty bad for the folks in Redmond.
Even though this makes me smile, I can't help but wonder, how could they mess up so badly?

Windows 11, 2026: E-Mail-Konten löscht man noch immer in der Systemsteuerung — Menüfenster aus Windows 3.1-Zeiten inklusive. Michael Spehr dokumentiert in der FAZ (Paywall), warum „produktiver Start in den Morgen" mit Microsoft oft ein frommer Wunsch bleibt. #Windows #Microsoft

My girlfriend has a 3 year old Dell laptop with Windows 10 on it and that machine is just not workable, even opening a simple browser just takes like 100 years! Is that the standard now?
Tomorrow she will be forced to start using a Linux distribution.

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.

#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.

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.
