Microsoft “Oops you caught me”

orbitz ,

Well shame on me, I won’t do it again wink. Just was reading comments on Microsoft ending WordPad and someone mentioned ‘as long as a browser is bundled’. Heh how times change.

For those that don’t know Microsoft had an anti trust suit or something like that due to IE being a part of the OS. Though to be fair it’s pretty hard to get your preferred browser without one to use, but probably not good to be too integrated with the OS rather than an optional component. Wonder how close Bing is to that these days, new computer at work is constantly showing Bing in the start menu like this is my computer not your fucking search results.

Microsoft accused of malware

You could just stop here.

Yes, the horseshit setups I open my computer to that make it difficult to navigate out of are completely unintentional.

I need Mac or windows for work. This is exactly why I’m switching to a Mac later this year.

Im just waiting to see if m3 airs come out in October.

If it runs on Mac it does on Linux. (besides fucking Microsoft products of course…)

You can run Mac apps on Linux?

Technically it’s possible it’s just a lot of tinkering probably.

I remember an attempt a while back to make a tool to run MacOS apps on Linux but it’s very limited and only supports simple GUI apps (and that’s experimental), I’m not sure if they’ve made any further progress on it but currently it seems like it has pretty limited support, significantly more limited than Wine.

Also it would be impossible to use it on newer MacOS apps since those are written for M1 and thus can’t run natively on x86 CPUs due to being written for Arm (might be able to run on Arm CPUs though).

You’d be better off using the Windows version on Linux through Wine. Is there an app specific to MacOS that isn’t available on Windows? Honestly, at that point I’d get a Linux laptop and just use an iPad for the proprietary MacOS app if I couldn’t get it working on Linux. There is a Ubuntu snap package that spins up MacOS in a virtual machine as well.

ElderWendigo ,

No. You can run many GNU/Linux apps on a Mac because the Mac OS is based on BSD which is very similar too, but almost completely separate from GNU/Linux. There is absolutely no guarantee or expectation that any random Mac app will run on Linux. Apple has modified a version of BSD with their own proprietary code to run on their own proprietary hardware to give you a Linux like system structure, but because of BSD’s licensing they don’t have to contribute any of that code back to the community. People can make apps that will run fine in Linux, Mac, BSD, or whatever, but that is highly dependent on the app itself.

Very much no?

🤡 Very much yes.

No, you see, we didn’t intend to ask…

cooopsspace ,

Any changes that are untested are intended.

nosurprises ,

How can you implement that and push to users without the intention?

    “Whoops we just wrote the software to do exactly this thing. We didn’t mean to, though.”

    andallthat ,

    Well after seeing Teams that would actually be a decent line of defense… “we aren’t competent enough to build something that works as intended”
