  Ha sure, but since it is not well traveled there aren’t any Lemmy comments yet. But you’re very welcome to visit…

  Nice, I did the same for my blog. Didn’t want to build a whole comment system when Lemmy fits the bill quite nicely :)

  That’s good advice, we will. Thank you.

  Thankfully Microsoft is a thrustworthy partner with the users best interests in mind. /s

  At home Proxmox works reall well. When our VMWare licenses expire we’ll certainly evaluate that as option.

  Wasn’t really aimed at you but from the things I’ve seen I am afraid not all Windows administrators might realize that.

  And probably as a security update as well.

  Installing Word, on a server, running as administrator, forecefully linked to some MS account for activation… Is that really a reasonable solution in a Microsoft world? Smh.

  If documentation comes as Word document there is no documentation and a huge red flag for the software.

  Thats just usual Microsoft speak while plugging their ears and finding new ways to milk you.

  That was one of the things that really helped with the immersion for me in Witcher 3 and even Cyberpunk. You walk into a building, house, etc and the world outside just continued and was present. I’m still quite impressed with their engine and it is a bit sad that they’ll be switching to UE5 for the next Witcher.

  So far I’ve traded in all my Playstations for the latest versions. But this price-hike and no disc-drive are a dealbreaker. Guess I’m going for a new gaming PC and a Steam Deck now. Too bad Sony, you messed up.

  I’m sorry, you’re arguing in bad faith or have a huge case of Stockholm Syndrome.

  But, just look at their Troubleshooting documentation where they tell you to drop to the terminal.

  My point is that Microsoft has stopped making new buttons and dropdowns and refer you to new Powershell incantations for most new settings. Just look at how many options the new “Settings” app offers compared to the deprecated Control Panel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha, then stay on Windows 7/10 or you’ll lose your control panel soon…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have heard this argument for over 20 years… “You have to use the terminal in Linux, so user hostile”.

  Well, try to do ANY windows sysadmin tasks without Powershell… See how far that gets you. Need to manage Exchange? Powershell. Need to change some settings? Powershell… It is even getting more and more unavoidable. Now Powershell doesn’t even have a good terminal environment, sane parameters or good usability. And a general lack of documentation for all the obscure incantations.

  In the meantime KDE on Linux is wonderful, fully integrated with the system, easy software maintenance (on Kubuntu for example) and with a sane settings menu… You hardly need a terminal at all. Try to find that in Windows.

  So sorry, this argument is either invalid, out of date or Microsoft is even worse.

  I got this game finally last year, after waiting for the bugfixes, and have been playing since then. I’ve got over 170 hours now, did all the sidemissions and now finishing Phantom Liberty, and loved every minute of it. This was my first dive into the cyberpunk-genre and it is impressive, especially the dystopian future that also seeps through in modern times.

  The way Cyberpunk 2077 tells its story and does world building is beautiful. The immense city with twirling roads, mountains of trash and dysfunctional society is really immersive. I understand that it is not possible to give every citizen a full back story with limited resources but the amount of detail and love that they were still able to put in is commendable. Even after all this time spent in the gameworld it manages to surprise me with random encounters while exploring.

  I’m glad I waited for the bugfixes and had only a few crashes and minor glitchy physics. I hope they learn that delivering a good product is more important then deadlines, since players like me will wait anyway.
