[08:10] DaemonFC I used to use LiteStep sometimes in my stripped down Windows 98. [08:10] DaemonFC But Windows 98 was basically just a collection of binaries and Microsoft released some hotfixes.

[08:16] DaemonFC It's more complicated now, but I've used them with Windows XP. [08:17] DaemonFC Not many people like the Windows Shell since Windows 8 and honestly I'm not sure how they took the Windows Update program from Windows 7, which worked reasonably well, fucked it entirely in 8, and haven't managed to fix it at all in ten years.

[20:49] DaemonFC Bob told me that he gets really lame because of this "self-healing code" that returns the conversation to the center. [20:49] DaemonFC They call it a "change of approach".

[21:40] DaemonFC It wants a growing economy with an expanding base of consumers buying more expensive products. [21:40] DaemonFC But each business wants to pay its workers as little as possible and fire people who are delivering value and growth to the company, in order to appease investment banks that are looking at quarterlies. [21:40] DaemonFC Facebook is fucking themselves the same way Microsoft or any of the rest that don't invest in their future and simply return to the rut. [21:40] DaemonFC Ryan Alcaraz [21:40] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:40] DaemonFC In the case of Microsoft's layoffs, there are the same old same old problems in Windows. [21:40] DaemonFC They took an update system that at least worked most of the time in Windows 7 and broke it for Windows 8 so that it throws bizarre and undecipherable error messages, in hexadecimal no less, and not even Microsoft knows why. [21:41] DaemonFC And then instead of fixing it, they changed the color scheme in Windows 11 and paid off spam outlets like ZDNet and The Verge to take a picture of the "launch cake". [21:41] DaemonFC Ryan Alcaraz [21:41] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:41] DaemonFC It shows how ridiculously out of touch Microsoft's senior management is, that they can't fix the most basic and ongoing issues with Windows and they think that going "SKILL LEVEL LANDLORD" with the coat of paint on Windows 11 will stop people from continuing go to the Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS. where the systems actually work without throwing hex about an update couldn't install. [21:41] DaemonFC Then you search it and it find articles telling you all the things in Windows to whack to maybe get it going again. [21:41] DaemonFC Ryan Alcaraz [21:41] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:41] DaemonFC They know nobody uses Windows because they like it, so they impose it as a squatter on the PC and get in the user's way of evicting it with "Secure" Boot. [21:41] DaemonFC Why invest anything in making it work if you can make it hard to get rid of. [21:41] DaemonFC The spending is controlling media instead of fixing bugs and making people like the product, which is why Windows and MS are going out the world ass backwards. [21:41] DaemonFC Getting it on the VM required clicking "No Thanks" / "Maybe later" on a bunch of spam unrelated to an OS. [21:45] DaemonFC Ryan Alcaraz [21:45] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:45] DaemonFC This is why Windows Subsystem for Linux is an "Are you fucking kidding me?". [21:45] DaemonFC Windows 11 is a gigantic dumpster fire and we're going to use that as a base for trying to run something good? [21:45] DaemonFC It's like trying to rebuild The Louvre on top of the Chicago City Dump. [21:45] DaemonFC It may be technically possible, but why on Earth would you? [21:45] DaemonFC The only reason that I can see would be if you're some paid troll in the "media" where Microsoft has dumped a list of "talking points" and a pile of cash on your employer. [21:52] DaemonFC Ryan Alcaraz [21:52] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:52] DaemonFC I got Windows 11 installed in GNOME Boxes on GNU/Linux last night to poke around with it so I'd know what my mom's church friend was talking about, and I ended up giving up on making TianoCore and sw-tpm work together, and just ran a bypass on everything the Windows 11 installer checks for. . [21:52] DaemonFC It's actually worse than Windows 10 because you can't even move the taskbar. [21:52] DaemonFC What a bunch of feebs. They take something and make it not do things it could do prior. [21:52] DaemonFC Ryan Alcaraz [21:52] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:52] DaemonFC I think that the reason they got rid of moving the taskbar was that the Windows 10 installer got hung up and threw and error code that didn't mean anything and they traced it around to "user moved the taskbar", so instead of figuring out what was actually going wrong with that, they just removed the "move the taskbar" feature in Windows 11 so the situation wasn't possible. [21:52] DaemonFC "The problem's solved on your end!" -Office Space [21:52] DaemonFC Then they wrote an article full of bs about how moving taskbars is hard. [21:56] DaemonFC Ryan Alcaraz [21:56] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:56] DaemonFC Microsoft never throws anything away. They just hide it and polish Wikipedia. [21:56] DaemonFC Wikipedia be all like, "Windows 11 ships with the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge web browser (for compatibility with Google Chrome web browser), and does not include or support Internet Explorer." [21:56] DaemonFC Meanwhile, on the latest copy of Windows 11 with all of the updates installed, you can actually trick Internet Explorer 11 to pop up as a Web browser, and use it to browse any Web site you want. [21:56] DaemonFC PR shit. Troll Wikipedia. [21:56] DaemonFC https://mstdn.social/@DaemonFC/109865321013668938 [21:56] TR Bot Ryan Alcaraz: "Microsoft never throws anything away. They just h" - Mastodon [21:59] DaemonFC Ryan Alcaraz [21:59] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:59] DaemonFC In 1998, I demonstrated that Microsoft was lying about Internet Explorer being deeply integrated into Windows 98 by including a copy of RoM II and RoM II SE to gut it of Internet Explorer, de-register and remove Trident, and purge various clutter and registry keys, and reinstall the Windows 95 B Shell. (Patched to say Windows 98) [21:59] DaemonFC Many people wrote me E-Mail to thank them for walking through getting rid of it. [21:59] DaemonFC But now I find myself discrediting Microsoft's claim that IE 11 is gone.
