Windows and Slop Declining While Microsoft Silences Critics
This morning: Huge Gains for GNU/Linux Thus Far in 2026
This afternoon:
An "emergency fix" because "Windows 11 users reported a strange and frustrating issue. Following a recent January update, certain systems were unable to shut down properly. Instead of powering off, affected PCs were restarting or staying switched on even after users selected shut down or hibernate."
This past day in thelayoff.com: (latest topic)
Windows is committing suicide by alienating its remaining users. Some Windows proponents frankly report it's way too unstable/unreliable and some companies of considerable size would go on the record dubbing it "Poor-Quality Software and Product". Adding a passing fad to everything when the bubble is already popping (based on public metrics), Microsoft tries to suppress facts while faking 'demand' by imposing slop on everybody, everywhere. It is also tone- and speech-policing (censorship). Meanwhile, "open" "hey hi" (Microsoft) is SLAPPing its critics (many reports about this), like hired guns sponsored partly by Microsoft money did to my wife and I. Microsoft's Builder.ai did the same to people who had correctly reported it was a scam. To us, all this began when we exposed Microsoft fraud connected to CoPilot way back in 2021. We'll publish a full timeline one day. █
