I’m waiting for baited breath for ONE work-related app to have a Linux version before jumping ship on my main computer.
Linux is on every other platform at my home, I just want to be 100% free :(

it’s all been downhill since 7.
Do you think working on these sort of things hurts developer moral? Or do you think nah.
Maybe all of those developers who would be against this have already been laid off.
Morals or morale? Because morale yea, big tech just does that to you to be honest. I know a lot of people who burnt out from this
Moral I don’t know, I guess most people already hate their product they’re developing but these jobs pay the bills.
oops, i meant morale.
If there’s devs putting up working for Musk at X, then you will find some devs that will put up with anything. I am willfully ignoring developing unmanned killer robots and other such nightmares.
Why would anyone want an improved version of shit?
A turd is a turd, polishing it won’t do much.
Windows always has been a turd
Actually, it was pretty neat when they did it on Mythbusters. It’s true I wouldn’t want it in my house unless it was encased, but still neat.
I have not logged into my Microsoft for a long time. And I’m too afraid to do so.
Okay The discourse makes sense now
You’ve got to give Microsoft some credit: At least they published a fix for any issues you may have with Windows:

Yeah, I’m seriously considering Linux for my next laptop and I haven’t upgraded to 11 for my current one.
I’ve had to use 11 for work and I have yet to see any functionality to make it worth it. If anything, 11 feels like a downgrade.
I’ve just ordered my new Linux laptop
11 is horrible. Forced to use it for work. None of my home pcs have windows anymore. Likix is so great. Just set aside some time to learn it, its not windows, dont try to operate it like windows, and you’ll be much happier.
My current job gives us a laptop with Ubuntu, but allows us to, at our own risk, install whatever OS we like. I recently turned down an offer primarily due to Windows being required (PHP and C# shop).
What’s the original?

Good variation.
Lol, okay that’s subtle but clever.
Sorry to ruin the joke, but could you explain? I know what SickOS is on the surface, but don’t really get this.
Original:

Thanks for the context. Though I am going to have to take another look at this when I am more sober.
I am sober and I was actually just thinking I should try again once I have had a few.
It’s just a clever wordplay on the original meme as far as I’m aware. Instead of “sickos” as it is in the usual meme, it says “SickOS”, as if it a distro of Linux. Idk if there is actually a distro called SickOS.
Gotcha, I guess I have just never seen the usual meme. SickOS is a thing though, it’s a pentesting practice tool, a purposefully vulnerable system to practice skills on.
Damn that character is terrifying, well done. I might have to check out your horror games now
That escalated quickly ha ha!
Real microsoft turns it on by default, makes it a huge pain to turn it off AND reenables it every update.
Honestly I have to begrudgingly dual boot windows a few times a month to use certain software for freelancing work, so I bought an enterprise windows 11 key from a grey market vendor for like 12 bucks and then used group policy to disable copilot everywhere it was possible
- forced updates
Oh I see.
I guess I’ll turn off updates then.
* starts crying *
All you’re gonna do, Microsoft, is remind me to go to Copilot, tell it to die, and then uninstall it.
