I’m in my 40s. I never converted to PowerShell from the command line. I can use a Linux terminal, but I’d really rather not. I was never a pure-play coder, so I just want shit to work while also having full control when need be. Like, totally hypothetically, putting two news sources at each others’ throats to make sure my ex-wife’s water wasn’t shut off.
Comment on Apple's chips are winners, but Windows fails help it most
tal@lemmy.today 1 day agoEvery time I get an Android update, my first reaction is “what workflows that had been working am I going to need to relearn?”
I’ve had some similar comments about Windows in the past. Like, a lot of the lock-in value that Microsoft enjoys isn’t anything special that they’ve done — it’s because people are expert in using their platform. If you make them change their workflow, you throw that out. And people profoundly dislike changing their workflow, once they’ve put the effort in to become accustomed to one.

I loved being a beta tester back in the days of Chicago. But I was also a teenager who hadn’t gotten into calcified workflows at the time. I don’t mind learning new things, but don’t force that on me!
