Oh, I actually meant Windows at home. Windows at work is definitely problematic.

But at home, for my own stuff, Windows just works, with zero setup or maintenance hassle. I used to do the whole Linux thing, had set up dual boot (again for games that only work on Windows ) it was not only not fun, what was I getting out of it? I found myself not even booting to Linux because it literally was not providing me with anything I needed.

Hah, with no attempt to explain because it’s very self explanatory.

Unironically me as an IT professional who uses Windows. It just works. I have to fuck around with all that shit all day, I don’t want to go home and do it too.

You’re the reason my Mondays are always chaos

Did you feed it the article as well? Just wondering how it got the details of a recent article

Ever since I started riding (motorcycles) I don’t even really notice it anymore. Anything less hot than “armored jacket and helmet under the sun” just doesn’t register as hot anymore

Nah nah

This makes me wonder, who else here isn’t actually a programmer but an IT professional who appreciates the content?

Androids operating system is pretty locked down, users have restricted abilities to control their own system compared to windows, where most consumers are local admins who can easily run something malicious without realizing it.

It won’t be gone, not in 30 years anyway. Data storage is relatively cheap and 30 year old, even 50 year old content gets consumed all the time even right now.

There is a point to be made that online content is ephemeral, since we have no control over it’s availability. But not in 30 years.

Ive been using it a bit, just in case it helps bring down Twitter lol

I’ve tried studying CSa d programming, both formally and informally, for long enough to know most of what y’all are talking about, but failed terribly enough that I still have no idea how people can actually build code. Syntax is easy enough, I always started a class like oh cool I can do this. And then they drop me off the deep end and I fail, every time. I work in IT infrastructure now and I’m happy to say I never have to worry about coding, though my foundational knowledge is useful for troubleshooting.

Wow that’s awful. I didn’t think I could hate apple anymore than I have been for the last 17 years (I still remember the time my friend tried copying my music collection to is ipod and itunes deleted the entire folder)

Are you saying the video game complaint isn’t real? You have a solution? 90% of my personal PC use is gaming, otherwise anything I used to use my PC for is done with my phone.

Until Linux can support my entire steam library, I don’t see why I’d bother.

My last day on Reddit I shared an excited post about a fun thing in a hobby sub of mine and I got such awful negative responses and people telling me I was attention seeking. It was really ugly. So that was pretty much when I decided to uninstall my Boost app and switch to Lemmy full time
