@jalefkowit When my MS365 renewal came up last month, I didn’t renew. I downloaded/deleted everything from the cloud and switched, for now, to Apple, simply bc I have a Mac, and uploaded some things to Proton cloud. My next step is to switch to Linux for my desktop.

CoPilot being added to Office really rubbed me the wrong way - esp. when I realized that I would always be seeing the icon following me around even though I didn’t want to use it.

@jalefkowit

a 6th ver of Notepad could be called .... vi

@jalefkowit I just assumed everyone installed Notepad++ and moved past notepad.exe.

@jalefkowit 😂

@jalefkowit

Boosted for those who may need it (I haven’t been a Windows user in years).

@jalefkowit

Notepad.exe & Windows 11 are already bad enough.

I just checked this again to write no nonsense:

When you open a text file from an USB stick with notepad.exe you can nonetheless "disconnect" the stick. Win 11 (not 10!) ignores that you are editing a file from it - on one hand.

But on the other hand, when you return to the file still open in notepad.exe it tells you it can't find the path and presents you with an *empty* editor.

Except you changed the text before, then it's kept.

@jalefkowit meanwhile, I continue using vi...

@jalefkowit @jpmens If the enshitification also touch simple softwares like notepad… 🤦‍♂️

@jalefkowit I'll be running Win10 for another decade. 0Patched.

@jalefkowit I love this era. I'm completely tech illiterate, but because I hated Micro$haft enough to install Mint, I now get to smugly mock every Windows user ever like I actually know what I'm talking about. It feels so good being right, and rubbing it in like I accomplished something is the best bit.

When I get home I'm going to hug my laptop, open text editor and write 'fuck AI' 500 times, I love Linux so much!
