Now, why would anyone choose to cancel wearing the trihat?

Ohhh!! Hahahahahajaj that was a good burn! Hahahahahahah

it shouldn’t be taken lightly
Well, of course not. It’s 2 tons!
I’ll get out…

Why, though?

The album really is a transparent reflection on humanity.
- Comment on Windows 11 finally overtakes Windows 10 1 week ago:
The sudden spike is likely to be driven by enterprises rather than consumer uptake.
So… as expected. I’m wondering the Home market share of Win10 vs Win11. It would be interesting to see if people, as a whole, learned from the WinXP fiasco.

Very nice app. Going to give it a good spin.

I mean the in the midst sincere way possible: I hope you succeed in this endeavor.

Once upon a time, it wasn’t. Then, it was.

Same boat here. W10 is EOL. A crapton of good-enough laptops are about to go into the landfills all over your world. What a disgrace.

You’re making a lot of assumptions here. I use Firefox. But business do not.

It’s not the ability that’s bothersome (that part is fine, and has been there). It’s the fact that this is part of the first boot screen you see on Edge now, with dark patterns to get you to do it.

Possible on pro (at least, for now). But, not on home last time I checked (which, admittedly, has been about a year). My daily non-work computer is not, and will never be, windows. But work is work.

Came to 11 pro during last week’s updates.

I’m with you. I use it on the iPad. But a part of me is a little cautious. I don’t think the devs would do anything nefarious, but Russia is Russia.
- Comment on Windows 11 user has 30 years of 'irreplaceable photos and work' locked away in OneDrive - and Microsoft's silence is deafening 3 weeks ago:
I can’t really completely blame the user here. Microsoft used to market OneDrive as the “last backup you’ll ever need”. Obviously, this was bad marketing, but a standard user wouldn’t know that.

What’s the opt-out? “Continue without”? Same options as the ms account screen before it.

Very cool! I hope it’s a successful change.
Look into onlyoffice. Last I heard, it was Russian based software, so it might be risky. It might not be, though.

With a Microsoft privacy statement, and only available in Edge as of last week?
- Comment on Microsoft is is bed with Google now, in a worse, more OS-integrated way than Mozilla was. This timeline sucks. 3 weeks ago:
For many reasons. One of which is that I still have to use it, and enter my PII into it. If I can convince them to use less of these, why not do that?

That’s what I was saying. Everyone gave Mozilla flack for their deal with Google, and here MS is doing it way, way worse. I actually don’t mind that Google was the default search engine in ff. It made it usable out of the box for the vast majority of users, and the minority had to click two button to change it. Seemples.

I’m sure that’s an end goal here, but logging into a Google account through Edge, integrates it into the Windows OS. Sort of like (but not as intensely as) logging into a Microsoft account through Edge. So, while, yes, it’s end goal is through rivalry, the method is a partnership.

Google’s MS deal makes it more integrated into the Windows, than Google was integrated into Mozilla’s FF browser. Odd phrasing, I’ll give you that lol

Not a choice in most business settings. Windows servers, Microsoft cloud, Windows workstations, and a 365 to complement. You have a better, equally integrated solution? Because, if so, I’d love to hear it.

- Comment on Windows Vista's startup sound suddenly reappears in Windows 11's beta build, and no, it's not a joke 3 weeks ago:
Indeed! And I used those a few times on friends’ computers and told them they I “upgraded” them back to 95. It was so funny
- Comment on Bestbuy decided to use fucking **DOORDASH** to deliver my order, I couldn't cancel it. Today I was supposed to get it, and I saw the driver stealing the package after marking it as delivered. 3 weeks ago:
Call the bobbies and file a report, using your footage as evidence. If it’s like here, they won’t actually do anything, but you’ll need that report to file a dispute with your bank. Best buy will likely try to write you off, but they can’t really do that with a proper report backed by evidence.

Today’s “AI” remind me of the versificator, both in terms of slop and in terms of lack of thought and creativity.

You skipped, arguably, the best version of windows. I stayed on 98se as long as I could, until the custom black themes came out. They made it much less cartoony.
Here’s one I used (screenshot from the interwebs):
