  • I am not upset in the slightest. Maybe I should have made that clear. By all means voice away! It's just like I said, Windows benefits heavily from us learning its quirks when we had the time and patience to do so, and with much lower standards than today. The comparison doesn't seem all that helpful as a result.

  • Mounting a network share is beyond the usage scope of the DAU you describe. They need a functional default desktop environment, working standard drivers for their standard hardware, and a browser. That's pretty much it.

    And let's not pretend there's anything intuitive about Windows distinguishing between accessing a network share, and mounting it as a virtual drive. This is just the staying power of "whatever I'm used to from an age when I had the curiosity and patience to figure stuff out".

  • That's exactly what they're aiming to do.

    The one thing that usually prevents this is the need to prevent government dysfunction and the collapse of whole institutions, and neither Trump nor Musk give a fuck. It works in their favor and their supporters are happy to justify it.

  • I wish I had that kind of faith in our society. A lot of people are still conservative. The majority lacks any kind of class consciousness, and would really prefer the global western hegemony to keep trucking on unchanged for a few more generations.

    The progressive movement is real and has great people in it. I love the conversations I've been having with people for the past decade. But it's a bubble that includes maybe 5-8% of the population. Enough to build solidarity at least around population centers, not enough to sweep an election.

  • The point is rather how meaningful this statement is. It doesn't really matter if your algorithm can come up with trillions of ways to place trees, if it's the same handful of trees it's still gonna feel samey after the third time.

  • No kidding. Why else would it be the result of an attempted update. But thanks for the continued condescension.

    Can we perhaps stop pretending that it's the most normal thing on earth to run an update and get back "hm yeah so there's an issue, to fix it you're gonna have to uninstall your entire GUI and half of your core operating system", and it's simply user error to be irritated by that in any way.
