it really should just be a print process that inevitably fails with an incomprehensible error code or a demand for money.

The windows environment, as fd as it is, is the ONLY mental model they are capable of. I have a short list of very needy users who cannot remember their f'ing password. Any of them, much less that there are multiple passwords.

Every day it's some random BS with email, or scroll bars or something that makes me think FFS why is everyone this incapable of grasping a simple web search??

I moved some of them to Apple because I'm not touching M$ with a ten-foot pole anymore. Oh god, the anguish I heard. The screams. The scroll bars just disappear!!! AAiiiiGhhhh! They close out windows and think that's closing the program. "But I restarted it!" No you didn't. They have no idea what desktops are, much less multiple ones. No C drive?? No C drive? complete catatonia. It's never-ending.

Long story short, the entirety of the computer revolution (that was a thing we called it once, which was the style at the time) is very much just Windows for them. That's it. If you can make a Linux system mirror exactly Windows 10 in every respect and - AND - run all of Microsoft's products with no incursion of nix-ism at all then they'll be happy. Well, not happy. Not-always-crying-in-panic. Obviously, that's never going to happen.

I've hated Microsoft for so long; I've long since given up on them ceasing to be a cancer on the modern world, it's all I can do to just erase them from every corner of my computing experience where possible.

Ironically the I started on kbin and use it on desktop for the opposite reason - the lemmy web instance is just worse in every way. Getting a desktop app for a web site just seems bass-ackwards but maybe that's a plan. I appreciate the post for framing it just so either way.

It's kind of sucked to get called out (not on this post, which again, was written very well) but on other comments in other posts where it's like "ewww kbin users" and I'm like "wtf, I'm just sitting here". We'll get there though, it's all good.

Remember the billboards in space guy? How did that guy get shitcanned and this guy is here with this fucking thing?

I used it. For about 10 minutes. Then I read the help files. Then I searched. Then I used it some more. Then I uninstalled it.

I think what we've shared here is a teaching moment. Everyone: Poop in Art. They probably want you to!

alarm sounds

Not American people. republiQans in north Georgia. Yes, they're American people, but the're also dumb enough to have voted for her twice now. So. Y'know, it's not great.

Yeah that can't happen - BUT: it's been theorized that humans are born with the ability to language. Like, talking good be wired up in there to start. Which. I dunno, seems like something.

All the red state Democrats who have republiQan friends - you need to get real or get wise. They either do or do not understand what it is they're supporting.

bOtH siDeS!/!?

Boring conversation anyway. Luke! We're gonna have company!

Perjury? I never touched her!

Bring your friends

Jenna Ellis who just scored $200k from her MAGAt dipshit followers for 'legal fees' is going to plead out, vacation at Paradise Island for three months, and then sashay into a lucrative Fox News gig? Aw man I feel bad for her. I mean it's not her fault that's What Jesus Would Do.

If you keep expecting logic or reason out of Trump's words or actions, I don't know what to tell ya.

Except he doesn't work that way.

Who would have thought??

No app better defines the changing nature of social media than Instagram. The app started as a digital scrapbook — a place to keep up with real-world connections, close friends, and family. While other networks had more users (Facebook) or generated more news (Twitter), Instagram seemed to define the ideal form of this era of social media. Instagram became a verb, an aesthetic, and a generational signifier.

huUURP! BLAAaahhriifgghhh. . .

Garbage marketing platform dies horribly. Thousands of clueless "journalists" bereft.

It doesn't need to be more complex than "more votes = shows up first when sorted by 'hot'"?

What's a "trade-based ads-socials"?
