From "Nope" to "actually isn't all that bad" to "not so given the censorship" and now back again to pretty good. Full circle we've gone lol

Nothing infuriates an uninformed Congressional Dem more than when they realize they voluntarily triggered a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about, reads federal statute and adheres to Supreme Court precedent. Today’s self-implosion by @rosadelauro was quite remarkable to witness. Without apology or regret, I will always adhere to the best available reading of federal statute pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright.

I suspect Microsoft WOULD have adopted UNIX had the AT&T licensing been tenable, and the world would be a very different place.

Microsoft owned the Xenix license, which I think was basically the BSD V6 code from what I saw of it. And they already used Xenix internally on their systems, like Miss Piggy. And, of course, they sold Xenix licenses, where they actually made money as a reseller of bulk licenses.

I can't speak for @BillGates, but I have recollections of Paul and Gordon Letwin both being interested in UNIX, but the AT&T licensing was ridiculous:

At the time, Microsoft charged $10-$20 for an OEM MS-DOS license.

AT&T UNIX started at $20,000 per CPU.

Could they have worked out a simple "UNIX-Lite" license for basic kernel and utilities on a PC? That would be cool, but I don't know if it even got THAT far in discussions.

All I know is that me and two buddies could have knocked it out in a long weekend, because that's how programmers rolled in the 80s ;-)

"Christian countries need to allow Islam"

"Then why do Islamic countries not allow Christianity?"

"I don't know"

Just so we’re all clear

Killing lobsters cuz I’m hungry: bad, don’t do it

Aborting babies cuz I don’t want responsibility: totally fine

Islamists target a Catholic bookstore in France, claiming it is ‘fascist’ for selling the Bible, Christian books, and statues of Jesus and Mary.

@ZacksJerryRig How about you post your YouTube revenue so we can decide if you make too much money? And then that way, if some calamity should befall you, we'll know whether to empathize with you or not.

[Shreyas Mididoddi @Shreyassanthu77]

@MattReinholz well if the problem can be solved with less cpu cycles than yeah sure

the reason I posted that was because of a random tweet talking about how their website is super fast and only takes a few hundred ms for each page load

[Shreyas Mididoddi @Shreyassanthu77]

feels like a lot of developers don't really understand how fast modern computers really are

200ms is a LOT of cpu time

There wouldn’t be a RAM crisis were there not for a bad software crisis.

Microsoft Word 2007 needed 512 MB of RAM for decent performance. It needs 4 GB today.

I hate that Microsoft might be vibecoding Windows, but it's inevitable

microsoft laid off everyone who knows how c++ works so now they just prompt gpt 5 to fix the codebase. 30% of windows is written by ai. that is why your printer drivers were deleted to make room for 4gb of copilot telemetry

they rewrote office in typescript. file explorer and the notification center are now just bloated electron instances that take 3 seconds to render a right click menu

the taskbar and start menu were rebuilt from scratch in react just to shove ads and "recommended" bloatware in your face. it uses more ram than world of warcraft did in 2004

copilot is being forced into notepad and paint. they are forcing you to test it in your basic tools

windows search isn't looking for your files. it's a bing wrapper designed to sell you a microsoft 365 subscription while you're desperately trying to find a local pdf

the widgets section is another bloat that nobody asked for. edge webview was designed to keep your cpu usage high enough that you're forced to switch to linux

over all of that, the task manager barely works in the latest updates

nobody at microsoft knows what "win32" means anymore. they replaced their support forums with an ai that just tells you to "try restarting" if your kernel panics

@17lifers old news but glad it finally in ur lifer number 17 db

@MarvelRivals For anyone else who has this issue, this is the line to remove in scalability.ini to fix: r.Shadow.MaxResolution=4

[RoboMWM @RoboMWM]

@MarvelRivals
reproducible crash with some heroes after hero selection on Birnin T'challa map on Team 2. https://t.co/KeBQ9p4s2k
Reproduction steps:
1. Create a custom game
2. Swap to team 2
3. Start game
4. Select Iron Fist or BP
5. Wait for hero selection to end
6. crash

[RoboMWM @RoboMWM]

@MarvelRivals Did even more additional testing and I see this is due to a scalability.ini configuration I've been using. I guess some tweak to that animation in season 5 now causes crashes. I'm aware you guys don't support this, but I'll update this if I find the exact setting that crashes.

Just as Windows sucks in the ways that it does not fit the needs of some users, Linux sucks because it does not meet the needs of MOST users.

Conversely, Windows is ideal for a LOT of users. Linux is ideal for some users.

Both are fine operating systems by almost all measures, but whether it sucks for you will be measured by how well it does the things you want and need to do all day long.

I use both, but for VERY different things.
