I use both Windows and Ubuntu/Mint for personal use, WSL for personal dev environment (because MS SQL Server on Docker limits what I do), Ubuntu/Redhat for dev/test/prod environments.
I like Linux but it can be a hassle little things so Windows.

Visio? Don’t they have to pay for copyright on the name “Visio” to Microsoft?

- Comment on Speed test pits six generations of Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in this unscientific comparison 4 weeks ago:
I’m more impressed that the same hardware ran so many versions of Windows.

Barron is doing this shit.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 4 weeks ago:
To stop this immediate idiocy, Trump has to have a massive stroke, just enough to debilitate him but necessarily replace him. MAGA isn’t going to blindly follow Vance cause he’s got zero MAGA charisma. The GOP controlled Congress is going to be stuck between implementing 25A or not, cause if they remove Trump they’re committing political suicide.
So the best bet is for a lame duck government as a whole.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 4 weeks ago:
if you’ve got a 10-year-old Apple laptop, it’s harder to use normally than a 10-year-old Windows laptop.
Also, don’t use the Apple store for software on your laptop. Use a reasonable package manager like homebrew that doesn’t have the problems you describe. Or go find a mirror that hosts old MacOS packages and install it yourself.
Agree with both and able to do so cause I’m an IT professional and wo ked on all 4 major OSes in my past.
However, having to use an external package manager undercuts the advertising that they’re just plug and play.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 4 weeks ago:
Ever update an app and then be told that you need to update MacOS cause the new version need the latest MacOS? So you try to update MacOS but can’t cause your MBP can’t run the latest version. That’s okay, let’s go back to the older version of the app. Oh wait, now you can’t cause that version is no longer in the Apple Store. So you can’t update the app, can’t update MacOS and you can’t reinstall the older app version, which you may have paid for.
Apple’s enshittification was baked-in and normalised a long time ago. The rate it gets worse is slower compared to Win 11 in 2025 but the MacOS level of enshittification is already pretty fucking high.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 4 weeks ago:
Great for you. The motherboard on my 2011 MBP died after 5 years and then again after 5 years after the replacing it the first time. Decided to junk it then cause even if I placed the mobo, couldn’t install the latest OS or the latest software.

- Comment on China Has Reportedly Built Its First EUV Machine Prototype, Marking a Semiconductor Breakthrough the U.S. Has Feared All Along 1 month ago:
All they have to do is to make it good enough and cheap enough to commodotize the product which will flood the market and push the most advanced but expensive tech to the side.
- Comment on China Has Reportedly Built Its First EUV Machine Prototype, Marking a Semiconductor Breakthrough the U.S. Has Feared All Along 1 month ago:
I mean if every headline about massive breakthroughs was the full truth all our appliances would be powered by tiny nuclear power plants and we would fly around with our jetpack. Cancer would be but a distant memory and world hunger a non issue because vertical farms would be literally in every home.
I’m from the school of “capitalism stops progress when there’s not profit to be made”.
So all these things could have come true if someone didn’t stop them because they were going to lose money.

- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 2 months ago:
Infosys is a shitty boss that would contract for 2 resources but only assign 1 to do the work. That’s why he wants 80 hours per headcount.
This is why I’m somewhat happy that AI would render extinct companies like Infosys, Wipro, etc.
