Microsoft is definitely the corpoest of them all.

Probably not the worst corpo, likely even, but out of the corpos, they are the most corpo corpo of any corpo.

  1. They own LinkedIn, and I could just stop this list here.
  2. They’re the founding fathers of Embrace, Extend and Extinguish.
  3. They are the vanguard of videogame studio consolidation, after buying Activision and Bethesda.
  4. AI
  5. Everything they do is soggy bread: you can eat it, it’s probably mostly healthy, I think, but if a product is not the minimum viable product then it will be; take the Halo franchise as a reference for blandness, Windows for end user tolerance - both are controversial yet functional and popular software that people complain (and do nothing) about. Halo took quite a hit in popularity, but still…
  6. Remember when a software company got in trouble for monopolistic practices? That was a thing that happened at some point, and it was Microsoft. Not that it will ever happen again, nowadays all the cool kids have some slice of the tech landscape on a chokehold.

I’m not sure, at least the unrepairable mess made by Microsoft is software rather than hardware - you can reinstall a janky OS but you can’t unexplode a phone that disassembled itself when you sneezed in its general direction.

There’s no fine line between the two companies.

Edit: they continuously fucked up Halo in unexcusable ways, fuck them, they’re worse than Apple. Forgot about that.

I had the opposite experience with Windows (7 up to 10), every now and then I would have to reinstall it to get some random feature working, which made the system run smoothly for a while - which checks out, considering Windows’ affinity for software rot.

Then again, I increasingly debloated it as time went on, which I’d assume contributes to its instability.

IP addresses ran out, IPv6 adds more addresses than we may need, ISPs decide to take away the user’s ability to host servers (more or less (more less than more)) rather than upgrading the infrastructure

Discord: Have you lost access to your email? no worries, just regain access to it! (lemmy.world)

I would have expected them to ask me to message them, in order to resolve the issue of not having access to my old email. Instead, they assume that I still have access to it, by simply contacting my email provider!...

I think you’re being a little unfair, communication via carrier pigeons is a valid solution as it outpaces IPv4/IPv6 carriers to this day

I did find a wikipedia article to that, and it still seems legitimately more sensible than using Discord for any reason other than gaming-related peer pressure

A recompilation or repackaging of Linux 6.6.6 is still Linux 6.6.6

Sonotsugipaa ,
@Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I’m not sure about specific packages, but in general a packager may not want to increase the upstream version even if they can do it themselves - for example, they may have made some mistake in the packaging process.

Ship Of Harkinian (and similar projects) have kept gping for a long time, and they don’t do anything remotely illegal either

Sonotsugipaa ,
@Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

With the last two big things I’ve heard about (Yuzu and… Dolphin, I think?) they were legally in the right, but at least where I live there is absolutely no way to spin a recompiler + asset extractor as something illegal - they can’t even claim the developers are circumventing DRM, because OOT and MM didn’t have any.

Though, I would not be surprised if there’s something in US law that can be exploited for this.

That’s exactely what happened in my mind when I was getting started with Linux (kind of), although it’s arguably a habit that comes from using Windows where people don’t really think about OS users and permissions

I don’t think references are variables: you can’t modify them, and AFAIR you can’t have pointers to them, with the possible but unlikely exception of non-static member references.

Hot take: A scripting language is a programming language whose execution starts from the beginning of the file | stream.

@Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I’m very confused by this thread.

Progress bars are handled by the applications themselves, whether flushing happens or not;

immediate flushing does not increase storage lifespan, in fact letting the OS decide when to do it may allow wear-leveling to work better.

(Though, IMO immediate flushing should be the default for removable media on user-friendly distributions, like swap partitions are)

How to revitalize this sub?

I love the original patientgamers subreddit so I was stoked to find this community. And because lemmy seems to have a more knowledgeable crowd any topic I posted here had great engagement and discussions, despite the small community. I am too busy to be a mod but maybe I can help by sparking this discussion: what would be needed...

The GTK file chooser is probably the worst AND most inconsistent example of UX that I’ve ever seen

Sonotsugipaa ,
@Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Contribute with UX changes? To GNOME maintained software?

Sonotsugipaa , (edited )
@Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Enhancement? No, everything I have a problem with is explicitly intended behavior and GNOME devs are infamous for their everyone is stupid except me mentality

Edit, found a neat lil’ example:

Does Gnome/GTK have an issue board where users vote on issues?

Free software development is not a democracy, and does not get driven by polls. Features and bugs are introduced by those who show up, within a community that works towards a shared goal.

I don’t believe the intentional behavior is desirable and would like to see what other users think.

That’s not how anything works.

Sonotsugipaa ,
@Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

They do provide a free service (GTK’s file chooser), one that I find horrible and inconsistent (as per the thread) and intentionally so (on issues tangential to example that I found, although the proposed configurable behavior would be nice) - so I won’t even entertain the thought of trying and contributing to it, as it has been suggested.

I don’t know what is insufferable about that, other than the initial criticism…

Sonotsugipaa ,
@Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I’ve got to work on the fact that seeing the word “insufferable” on social media makes me instinctively get defensive ._.

They probably downvoted because sometimes your job or education strictly requires Linux-incompatible software, and you can’t do anything about it;

but then again, 9 out of 10 of those people spare absolutely no effort to move their eggs out of the metaphorical Windows basket.

Some do, unfortunately getting mad about them is sometimes all they can do in some cases (e.g. the OP)
