They intentionally choose to handle errors poorly.
Just like they intentionally choose to handle updates poorly, DON’T YOU WANT TO REBOOT FOR THE FIFTHEENTH FUCKING TIME AND LOSE YOUR SESSION WITH 29 PROGRAMS OPEN ACROSS 8 DESKTOPS WHILE RUNNING A RENDERING PROCESS?
Meanwhile, Linux: why yes, I’ll update the kernel in-place without rebooting and keep your 784 day uptime.
To be more fair, it should be way easier to use root on Android than it currently is, and it could be done without compromising security.
Like, I shouldn’t have to dig through mountains of unofficial documentation from weird sources, only to the find that, whoopsie, this method doesn’t work for your particular submodel of phone, you have to take this ultra-specific path that’s prone to issues and may not work. Oh, and make sure you backup your entire device, because rooting will wipe it and now you have to spend your entire fucking day restoring everything.
Like, just give me the option to enable root access somewhere in the developer settings. It can even be an obscure (but simple) process like it is to enable developer settings in the first place by tapping “about” a dozen times or something. Put up a half dozen warnings explaining why it’s “dangerous” for mortals to enable root for all I care, just make it work.
Microsoft errors be all like
Contact your administrator
Motherfucker, I am the admin.
Road to hell, good intentions and all that. Government fundamentally misunderstanding the role of cookies and the fact that browsers can handle user privacy with trivial effort by default rather than having every single website annoy the fuck out of you with a million goddamn notifications before actually showing you what you want to see.
And? Who gives a shit? We need whatever is cleanest.
Nature is already working on it and ramping things up.
I wish I could be an optimist, too.
People are stupid dumb, panicky animals and you know it.
Humanity collectively needs to touch to stove to realize it’s hot.
Humanity collectively is fucking stupid.
Don’t do this. Any mask that you can wash is useless for protection. You need an N95/FFP2 or better.
No, it doesn’t. Exhaled breath emitted through the filtration material can still cause glasses to fog.
Despite this being public information, could this be deemed illegal because it’s blatantly ill-intended ?
Sigh… spreads bacteria easier, spreads COVID easier. What isn’t air pollution driving?
No shit, really? That’s a pretty shitty thing for Microsoft to do.
I’m in Canada.
Not sure what you mean by AD.
Active Directory?
Maybe it only affects non enterprise editions? I assure you, I looked everywhere for an “offline account” option, it did not exist.
Honestly … they’ve pulled a lot of dumb shit that makes me think it’s within the realm of possibility.
Just look at how things happened with “Microsoft accounts” since Windows 7…i refuse to use a Microsoft account because there’s no way in hell I’m giving them my contact info, but also, it’s a total clusterfuck actually managing the damn thing.
Windows 8 suggested using a Microsoft account.
Windows 10 setup a Microsoft account by default. In later subversions, you can only get around it by cutting the internet connection.
Windows 11 refuses to setup at all without an internet connection; instead , it requires you to perform a hidden hacky workaround by opening cmd accessible only by keyboard shortcut, running a specific command to enable offline setup, then rebooting to finally complete it.
You really don’t think they’re stupid enough to push ahead with this cloud dogshit?
Is that a real petition that the government will actually look at or a meme one like all the others?
