A colleague is moving overseas and we're having a little party after office. Other than that, planning to sleep all weekend and binge some netflix stuff.

The oldest one was using Flash.

I'm so sorry my dude, no one deserves that kind of suffering.

I use linux at home everyday but I'm stuck with windows at work. I just wanna scream.

Definitely an issue. I can't count the times I've slammed my head because the stupid settings screen "conveniently" switches from the previous item to another while I still expected it to open a new window just like the command panel.

Didn't they learn that taking away what people grew up with for more than two decades already will result in outraged customers? (Windows 8 - start menu removed and replaced by start screen)

I've been using linux for about a decade. I only know how to maintain my system and google when troubles arise. I'm pretty comfortable with my setup and would love to see many make that jump as well. However, I have to concede that corporate environments add a whole another dimension to the problem.

No joke. Opening a command line from windows by itself is considered hacking by many. Even toggling dark mode in websites triggers that fear.

I have a morbid curiosity to see that happen.

That's when they "graciously" offer to whitelist "approved" devices to boot windows VM from.

It's still unbelievable considering Twitter had made its way into other languages' lexicon other than English. In Spanish, for example, the word "tuit" had been added officially in the dictionary. It had no competitors in brand awareness and all it took was a manchild with money to burn to take it all down.

Scummy practices that should be outlawed, like retail stores raising prices just before a big sale so they can slap "80% off!" on their stuff.

I put on my trenchcoat and fedora hat.
