as an aside, my god, imgur has gotten so much worse in recent times. It’s a truly horrible site. it won’t even load with an ad blocker running anymore.
I just get this.
Do you have a vpn? I get that sometimes when my VPN is connected
Well I’m in the UK, so yes. :)
Do you think Microsoft understands consent?
[ ] - Yes
[ ] - Ask again later
Microsoft “stay signed in?” screen is the most useless thing ever programmed by man
In a work environment I can only assume they just leave that box in the flow but the actual session duration limit is set by your IT policy.
“Programmed by man”? But didnt they say Microsoft was 30% AI code or something like that.
This was programmed long before AI coding was a thing.
I honestly don’t understand the point of it. At every single job I have or have had, it doesn’t seem to do anything and I still have to sign in multiple times a day.
+1. I’m very confused and don’t understand what it’s supposed to do.
At my work, we were told that the cyber security people don’t want us to say logged in, so they just ignore it if you say yes. Why it bothers to ask at all in that case, I do not know
There’s also a ”don’t ask again” checkbox, which is mostly there for aesthetic purposes I think.
Finally got motivated enough to change the lock screen from other peoples photography to my own. Spend an hour going through shots and make a folder under ‘Pictures’ root folder called ‘Lock screen’, go to the settings for lock screen and select that folder as the slideshow source. “We can’t use that folder so it was removed”. Hmmm. Ok, let me add it to ‘Documents’ instead. Same issue. Hmmm, ok… I hate it, but let me move it under c: - ok, it accepted it, sweet. Lock the screen, not showing anything… Hmmm ok, google it. Apparently it fails silently when it needs permissions. Hmmm, Ok… workaround is to select ‘Photo’ mode instead of slideshow mode, lock the screen. Ok, shows the photo. Ok, now go back to slideshow mode and it should work.
Wrong place for this rant I know but windows just seems progressively shittier over the years, if that’s even possible.

The design is very human. All you need to do is close all tabs where a Microsoft service is potentially running, find all the cookies used by Microsoft’s domains (there are only like six of them) and delete them, then restart the browser.
And when they doesn’t work, install a fresh copy of Windows on new hardware in a sperate location within another dimension.
“Microsoft works fine. All you need to do is…”
Why can’t people try Linux again?
It’s a joke.
So was mine.
