it really should just be a print process that inevitably fails with an incomprehensible error code or a demand for money.

The windows environment, as f*d as it is, is the ONLY mental model they are capable of. I have a short list of very needy users who cannot remember their f'ing password. Any of them, much less that there are multiple passwords.

Every day it's some random BS with email, or scroll bars or something that makes me think FFS why is everyone this incapable of grasping a simple web search??

I moved some of them to Apple because I'm not touching M$ with a ten-foot pole anymore. Oh god, the anguish I heard. The screams. The scroll bars just disappear!!! AAiiiiGhhhh! They close out windows and think that's closing the program. "But I restarted it!" No you didn't. They have no idea what desktops are, much less multiple ones. No C drive?? No C drive? complete catatonia. It's never-ending.

Long story short, the entirety of the computer revolution (that was a thing we called it once, which was the style at the time) is very much just Windows for them. That's it. If you can make a Linux system mirror exactly Windows 10 in every respect and - AND - run all of Microsoft's products with no incursion of *nix-ism at all then they'll be happy. Well, not happy. Not-always-crying-in-panic. Obviously, that's never going to happen.

I've hated Microsoft for so long; I've long since given up on them ceasing to be a cancer on the modern world, it's all I can do to just erase them from every corner of my computing experience where possible.

I remember saying that exact same thing about SUVs in the 80s. Nothing changes. Not with the American car industry anyway. Printing money hand-over-fist for most of the 20th century to be so miserably managed as to go bankrupt and "have to" be bailed out by taxpayers. Largely responsible for destruction of the planet, the poor public transport options, preventing EVs for decades, and offering nothing new but bigger more expensive pollution.

I used it. For about 10 minutes. Then I read the help files. Then I searched. Then I used it some more. Then I uninstalled it.

I think what we've shared here is a teaching moment. Everyone: Poop in Art. They probably want you to!

“The losing will only end for Republicans if we rid ourselves of Donald Trump,” Christie tweeted in a preview of his message to primary voters Wednesday night during the third GOP presidential debate. “Trump – loser in ‘18, ‘20, ‘21, ‘22 and now ‘23.”

Trump will likely take a different view of the matter . . .

lol

No app better defines the changing nature of social media than Instagram. The app started as a digital scrapbook — a place to keep up with real-world connections, close friends, and family. While other networks had more users (Facebook) or generated more news (Twitter), Instagram seemed to define the ideal form of this era of social media. Instagram became a verb, an aesthetic, and a generational signifier.

huUURP! BLAAaahhriifgghhh. . .

Garbage marketing platform dies horribly. Thousands of clueless "journalists" bereft.

It doesn't need to be more complex than "more votes = shows up first when sorted by 'hot'"?
