I just want everyone to have an OS that works for them. And for that to not be a hot take.
In the field of organizational behavior, escalation of commitment is a human behavior pattern in which an individual or group facing increasingly negative outcomes from a decision, action, or investment nevertheless continue the behavior instead of altering course. The actor maintains behaviors that are irrational, but align with previous decisions and actions.

I only use windows when I need to access streaming content with L1 drm
I have a different hat for when that becomes necessary. Or alternatively, I go outside.
Increasingly I just … don’t bother? … with “protected” media. If I absolutely want to watch it it will come out in 🏴☠️ circles soon enough anyway. There’s nothing so important I need to see it now after all, no matter how much the marketing tries to convince me otherwise.
So I don’t stream. Ever. I don’t watch anything that’s protected by DRM. I wait for it to be pirated or I do without (and more and more it’s the latter).
Gotta try and keep that bubble from bursting somehow
AI IS NOT FUCKING RELIABLE YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING BUFFOON!!! YOU FUCKING CAPITALIST APE!!! IT HALLUCINATES COMPLETE BULLSHIT 50% OF THE FUCKING TIME!!! FUCK OFF!!!
*ahem* Sorry, I got a little mad there, but holy shit, how can you be this fucking dumb??
Imagine AI in charge of doing Excel calculations now.
This is where creativity actually happens.
Companies don’t care about their customers, they only care about their stock price. What are Windows users gonna do? Switch to Linux en masse? Not happening.
AI is perfectly reliable … at fucking up.
(And correction: it hallucinates 100% of the time. It’s just that sometimes its hallucinations match reality.)
Clippy won.
I hope Microshaft keep on the same trajectory. It’s pushing more users to Linux. I know it won’t happen, but nothing would make me happier than to see MS collapse.
Honestly I wish they would just go back to making operating systems. Linux is far too complicated and janky for me to use outside of gaming on Steam. And Apple hardware is a bad combination of absurdly expensive and disposable. I’d gladly pay for a system that simply facilitated my needs and wasn’t incessantly harassing me to buy shit I didn’t want or need in an effort to extract more money.
MS doesn’t even care about Windows anymore. All the money is in XBox and their various cloud services, including Office 365.
Xbox is finished. They have absolutely nothing relevant going on in the console space, Sony at their lunch primarily because Microsoft are pathologically incapable of developing a compelling product.
“Make a slightly inferior copy and undercut the competition” has been their mode of operation since Day 1, so that shouldn’t really surprise me.
It’s funny you should say that because Microsoft doesn’t care about Xbox at all lol.
I think they meant the Xbox services, games pass, which I do think is MS’s current business model focus. Could be wrong
Which is crazy because they just upped the price of Game Pass by 50% and lost a ton of subscribers. We don’t know yet if the number of cancelations was financially significant, but it sure looked like it.
