I think he checked out and let the cocaine do the talking.

I’ll never not be surprised at how he wasn’t having a heart attack on stage.

When I was a MS employee for a couple years I saw Ballmer in person at a quarterly division meeting, and I have to admit his enthusiasm was contagious. He was like a kid at a Pokemon convention. Never sw him sweat like that tho.
FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Same. I met him, shook his hand, and he was fine

Damn Chris Farley would have done an ✨ideal✨ impersonation of this guy

Cocaine was a little stronger than you anticipated?

I thought Ballmer’s peak was just a funny graph. I understand it a lot better now.

If I were some powerful corporate exec, I’d be paying someone whose job it was to make sure something like this never happened, or if it happened it was at least never recorded.
I mean, even before the viral “Developers developers developers developers” chant he was a nasty, sweaty mess.

I dunno I kinda miss this version of Microsoft. They were still shitty and evil, but at least they were trying to be memorable and they were genuinely trying to sell you a computer to do whatever you wanted to do with it.
In the years that followed we started getting buggier, slower software, DRM, forced cloud migration, and AI scanning of everything on our machines and in our messages.
merc@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Fuck you they were. They wanted to sell you a computer so that you’d install Office. They never wanted you to do whatever you wanted with it. They intentionally changed internal APIs to break third party software that they didn’t want people using. This is also the era where they were constantly spreading FUD about Linux, convincing people that merely using Linux meant you were legally liable for patent infringement, etc.

This dude specifically had a hate boner for linux because they got absolutely shredded in the server space and the only reason MSFT survived in the end user product line was because they were already an established monopoly capable of forcing and coercing OEMs to never to offer an alternative OS from the factory lol.
But yes, at least they had some actual marketing ideas and design talent and not an infinite stream of slop.
Although even Ballmer gifted us the crapshow that was windows 8 before he conveniently dipped.

Thus was happening at the same time they were being sued for (among other things) Embrace Extend Extinguish.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 months ago
isn’t this the one he snapped(broke) his ankle when he ran out on stage and was screaming from the pain?
I think so, man was in shock and was sweating like a pig at the butchery.

Should have worn a black shirt
Seimhe@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Or a wet black one, even

Back when Microsoft was evil, but still tried to make a decent product. Now they are just evil and slop. So much slop.
Azzu@leminal.space 2 months ago
Did not know this existed.
The guy is less concerning than the crowd being into it. He’s obviously on drugs, sure, whatever. The crowd (probably) isn’t, yet they’re celebrating it. I couldn’t believe it.
No wonder we’re fucked as a species.

Things that are okay if you’re white and rich but not if you’re anything else. Also, cocaine is fun.
