FFS #Microsoft , I now have 2 adverts on my lockscreen

Bear in mind this is the BUSINESS edition of #Windows11, not "home" or "starter" (if they still do that!).

🪤 Copilot everywhere? Not for long. Microsoft dialing it back on Windows 11

「 Details around how the company is going about this remain light, but sources say Copilot integrations like those found in Notepad and Paint are under review. This may result in Microsoft removing certain Copilot integrations from these apps, or at the very least removing the Copilot branding and pivoting to a more streamlined experience 」

🚧 Microsoft just issued a second emergency OS update for Windows 11 this month

「 This time around, the out of band update is addressing an issue that caused Outlook and "cloud-backed" applications such as OneDrive and Dropbox to be rendered inoperable after Patch Tuesday. The temporary workaround was to uninstall the latest security updates, but now the KB5078127 update for version 24H2 and 25H2 should mitigate this need 」

Hate is a strong word, but I really really really don’t like Windows 11

I regretted installing Win11 from the very start. It seemed slow, buggy, and lacked some Win10 features I liked and used. What, I can't put a taskbar where I like it (on the left side of the screen)? Why is File Explorer so slow? What is this annoying clicking while

The Litany against #Microslop

I must not use #Win11 / #Windows11
#Win11 is the printer driver-killer.
Win11 is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face Win11.
I will permit it to pass over and through my Hard Disks.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the Win11 has gone there will be nothing. Only Linux will remain.

In 2009, Microsoft made it a focus of the Windows 7 user experience guidelines to reduce pointless notifications. They point out notifications like the classic “There are unused icons on your desktop” as being in the Windows 😜 Hall of Shame™. Seriously, it’s in there: https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/uxguide/mess-notif

In 2026, Windows interrupts you to ask if you want to clean up printers you haven’t used in a while. The intent is unclear (which printers?), there are too many choices, and it stays visible until you click an option.

For a good while, Microsoft were limping their way to good UX, and this doc was finally a clear set of guidelines. Now, it feels like they’ve slipped back into the Windows 😜 Hall of Shame™ era, and any good UX they happen to come up with is an accident.

A notification informs users of events that are unrelated to the current user activity, by briefly displaying a balloon from an icon in the notification area.

👋 Sur #LinkedIn, j'ai vu une énième publication où l'auteur parle de #WinGet comme une révolution pour la gestion des paquets sous #Microsoft #Windows.

Non, mais, sérieusement ?! Windows, dans bien des domaines, a des décennies de retard sur GNU/Linux (et concernant ce point, environ 30 ans, rien que ça).

C'est vraiment comique de voir ces gens s'extasier devant une nouveauté qui n'en est en réalité pas du tout une.

Grand bien leur fasse !

Notons aussi que Winget n'a pas de GUI.

Oramai con una certa frequenza passa qualcuno allo sportello di assistenza settimanale di ILS #Torino per farsi installare Ubuntu (o similari).
Motivo: il computer non è compatibile con #Windows11, ma non hanno intenzione di cambiarlo.
Grazie, #Microsoft.

I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too

With the growing number of users jumping from Windows to Linux, I decided to fully take the plunge and dive deep into the Open Source ocean. A few months and several headaches later, it has proved to be the best computer-related decision I've made in over a decade (and perhaps in my entire life).
