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?

Is it just me or are all UK universities trying to impose #Windaube11(*) to all staff and students?
Shouldn't they have to allow a variety of OSes, I don't know, at least on ethical grounds or even teaching grounds?

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

Ich habe einen Arbeits-Laptop mit #Windows, den ich wöchentlich benutzen darf. Er wird von einer gut ausgerüsteten IT administriert. Aber die Probleme, die ich damit habe sind schon verrückt. Seit einigen Tage läuft mein Outlook für eine Mailbox nicht mehr. Andere Mailboxen funktionieren. Und das ist nur ein Beispiel. Mich erstaunt es, dass die Lizenzkosten steigen und die Qualität sinkt.

ELF!
Immer noch ein strunzdummes #Betriebssystem, das nicht erkennt, wenn die #Festplatte voll ist. 🤦♂️
Just spent an hour trying to stop windows making my audio crap for my BT headphones while playing a game... Eventually found a Reddit most saying how but gotta use an external mic haha.

Something I terribly hate about #Linux is its unwillingness to hibernate with #SecureBoot enabled. I don't want to keep my computer idle for several hours just to preserve the states of the currently running programs.

Had to install #Windows11 and I am discovering that not only does it want to use my location, but also the only option is "Accept"
Like.. that's great, they give you the option to let it access your location (Yes) or not (No) but the only button you can click to move on, instead of being called "OK" as a normal OS would do, is called "Accept" 🤔
Win95 setup: prove you own windows 3.11!
Me: you are booting on a gateway solo from 1996, installing an OS from 1995, and the current system time is in 2026. Of course I fucking own Win 3.11!!!

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.
