  • 25H2 is Microsoft’s latest major release, featuring a refined interface, faster performance, enhanced security, and better hardware support. It’s the most polished Windows 11 experience, making it ideal for virtual machines.

    This is either the biggest load of horse manure ever vomited or a scathing indictment of the true quality of MS product. Either way, i am glad i don’t need those instructions.








  • Same reason they are allowed to sell nerf bats for children. It looks violent, but in reality is essentially harmless. Two guys trying to keep steady on ice while grabbing onto each other’s jerseys have no leverage. They’re both wearing mouthguards and helmets and as soon as they fall to the ice where leverage IS possible the refs stop that shit immediately.

    You ever see either of the 2 ‘combatants’ get examined by a medic, let alone rushed to the hospital, after a fight? No. They go right to the box for 5 minutes to cool down because all they did was tire each other out. Hockey players have to deal with far more violent events dozens of times a period in normal play.

    Boxing and Pro Wrestling are far better targets for people against this. It is literally a sport about fighting. Ban martial arts competitions too while you’re at it. 2 guys flailing on ice to rile up their teammates is small fry.

    I agree 100% with the sentiment, but it 100% does not apply to Linux. The (when it actually exists which too often it doesn’t) ‘manual’ 90% of the time is written out of order by an expert presuming that 98% of what is being stated isn’t greek to the newb and consequently ends up being completely useless if not downright harmful for them.

    My favourite so far is: App has feature that can be installed but requires several dependencies before it will install it. The feature has it’s own ‘handy’ cli command to point to an AppImage for a dependency which is useless because THE APP WON"T INSTALL THE FEATURE IN THE FIRST PLACE WITHOUT THE DEPENDENCY.

    I don’t want to spend all my spare time for a week learning about commands and syntax for 5 other distros trying to figure out why this fucking [insert device that supposedly nobody else ever has a problem with] isn’t working. I’m not looking for a job in IT. I don’t want to burn my eyeballs out translating nerdspeak. This isn’t fun. I just want to click it and it works, which is apparently still too much to ask for after 20 years and 600 stupid distros later.

    RTFM. GFY Linux. Learn how to write manuals first. Far as I can see, it’s a bunch of BS instructions that error out halfway through for some reason or another.

  • I currently have a dual boot with Win10 as I just moved to Mint this month. The MS store keeps trying to update or install apps with copilot even though I don’t have it installed. Like, I uninstalled the notepad app just to prevent this crap and they keep adding it to other apps. The latest one is the GD photo viewer so I had to uninstall that and find an OS one to replace it with.

    Win10 is NOT a safe haven and I am so glad I’ve switched to Linux and recommend it to everyone who’ll listen. The only reason I keep Win10 on is in case I forgot an important file or something (I always do), or absolutely need it for some software (no idea if any exist for me) I use that only works with MS.
