    I have to use Windows at work. It’s genuinely horrifying.

    Every time I open Word - and I mean EVERY. TIME. - I have to dismiss a box inviting me to ask Copilot to do my work for me.

    I KNOW that I could bung Debian on that PC and wring SO MUCH MORE performance out of it, but noooooo, I’ve got to use SlopOS, because our IT guys don’t know the first damn thing about Linux.

      Well yeah, they went to Microslop school to get Microslop certs so they can work with other people’s Microslop infrastructure and spit out words like “iNdUsTrY sTaNdArD” if you even hint at coloring outside the lines. Lol

        There is the old adage “Nobody got fired for going with Microsoft”, and it is real.

        If you, as an IT guy recommend Linux, and some exec has a problem with his laptop (which they would have had no matter what OS is running on it) it WILL be your fault because you changed something.

      I feel like “This could have been a photoshop” is going to be the “this could have been a meeting” for AI.

      Ignore the AI tools in photoshop, every photoshop version after CS6 isn’t real.

    I don’t know why Microsoft can’t understand:

    Make something actually good. Give people the option to use it.
