I remember when windows would let you delete system32 but not Internet Explorer.
As a user, I hate when an OS gets in my way. Or insists that there is one right way to do something.
As the tech support guy in my family, I’m grateful that windows denies permission, has big guard rails, and forces you to do updates.
Nah. Fuck forced updates. Only time I’m forced to use windows is for work.
I have to play the “low battery” game when it starts notifying me during work. Unplugging and repowering the laptop right below 10% so it won’t restart and disconnect my VM and SSH sessions I’m using for work.
I don’t care what anyone says. Updates that can’t have a forever “give me 1 more hour” indefinitely are just going to destroy work.
Suddenly restarting in the middle of someone working is just awful design. I don’t care how many “warnings” there are.
I’m connected to a remote session and doing work. If you restart my computer I could lose my work. The OS is not some self contained thing you can always save the state in.
yes, do as I say!
Yes, do as I say!
I once forgot to install the Linux package when I was installing Arch on a system. Linux even let’s you not use Linux, if you like.
It didn’t boot.
Narrator: “Turned out Windows never needed Edge to work”
Yup. And I’ve seen countless “articles” by trust-me-i-am-it-guru’s whining that this is allowed
Obligatory reminder to remove the French language pack:
sudo rm -fr /*I mean… You’re not wrong. If there’s a French language pack on the system, it will remove it.
Tap for spoiler
Along with everything else.
I add a -v because I like to watch.
