schestowitzwhitewashing is making a thing look better than it really is, by using something to (metaphorically) “paint over” or distract from the bad parts.Nov 06 03:23
schestowitzgreenwashing is the same concept with superficially “green” or alleged ecological benefits. imagine a large company that skimps on heathcare but talks about a new recycling effort.Nov 06 03:23
schestowitzopenwashing is when a company like facebook, which does loads of surveillance and privacy violations and manipulation of users, but releases a fraction of its code-- maybe even code that is useless in any other context.Nov 06 03:23

schestowitzWay to absolve Assad of his massive crimes against humanity. It did not start as a “proxy war”, and became one starting with the proxies Russia and Iran. The US proxy came later and also did no good, as I predicted. The only “help” the Syrian people got was to have bombs dropped on them. Nobody supports Democracy in Syria. Not Assad, not Putin, not Obama, not trump, and not you either.Nov 06 05:20

schestowitzOf course it does. I would never deny that. But it’s not as simple as it may seem. Russia has global corporations too (as do England, China, Europe and just about everybody else). The “empire” crosses geopolitical boundaries. Back when Russia was Communist, it could be excusable to think it was an alternative to global capitalist imperialism, but nowadays it is geopolitical conflict between the various capitalist national powers Nov 06 05:20

schestowitzthe best thing to do with windows by far is remove it. there is still a case to be made for making a few tools that run cross platform, but windows has more dangerous anti-features than ever before. we cant cater to it completely forever, we ought to be very conservative about it.Nov 06 06:39

schestowitzSubject: Windows Usability Systematic degradation flameNov 06 07:43
schestowitzI am quite disappointed at how Windows Usability has been going backwards and the program management groups don’t drive usability issues.Nov 06 07:43
schestowitzLet me give you my experience from yesterday.Nov 06 07:43
schestowitzI decided to download (Moviemaker) and buy the Digital Plus pack … so I went to Microsoft.com. They have a download place so I went there.Nov 06 07:43
schestowitzThe first 5 times I used the site it timed out while trying to bring up the download page. Then after an 8 second delay I got it to come up.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzThis site is so slow it is unusable.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzIt wasn’t in the top 5 so I expanded the other 45.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzThese 45 names are totally confusing. These names make stuff like: C:Documents and SettingsbillgMy DocumentsMy Pictures seem clear.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzThey are not filtered by the system … and so many of the things are strange.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzI tried scoping to Media stuff. Still no moviemaker. I typed in movie. Nothing. I typed in movie maker. Nothing.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzSo I gave up and sent mail to Amir saying – where is this Moviemaker download? Does it exist?Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzSo they told me that using the download page to download something was not something they anticipated.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzThey told me to go to the main page search button and type movie maker (not moviemaker!).Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzI tried that. The site was pathetically slow but after 6 seconds of waiting up it came.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzI thought for sure now I would see a button to just go do the download.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzIn fact it is more like a puzzle that you get to solve. It told me to go to Windows Update and do a bunch of incantations.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzThis struck me as completely odd. Why should I have to go somewhere else and do a scan to download moviemaker?Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzSo I went to Windows update. Windows Update decides I need to download a bunch of controls. (Not) just once but multiple times where I get to see weird dialog boxes.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzDoesn’t Windows update know some key to talk to Windows?Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzThen I did the scan. This took quite some time and I was told it was critical for me to download 17megs of stuff.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzThis is after I was told we were doing delta patches to things but instead just to get 6 things that are labeled in the SCARIEST possible way I had to download 17meg.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzSo I did the download. That part was fast. Then it wanted to do an install. This took 6 minutes and the machine was so slow I couldn’t use it for anything else during this time.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzWhat the heck is going on during those 6 minutes? That is crazy. This is after the download was finished.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzThen it told me to reboot my machine. Why should I do that? I reboot every night — why should I reboot at that time?Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzSo I did the reboot because it INSISTED on it. Of course that meant completely getting rid of all my Outlook state.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzSo I got back up and running and went to Windows Update again. I forgot why I was in Windows Update at all since all I wanted was to get Moviemaker.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzSo I went back to Microsoft.com and looked at the instructions. I have to click on a folder called WindowsXP. Why should I do that? Windows Update knows I am on Windows XP.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzWhat does it mean to have to click on that folder? So I get a bunch of confusing stuff but sure enough one of them is Moviemaker.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzSo I do the download. The download is fast but the Install takes many minutes. Amazing how slow this thing is.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzAt some point I get told I need to go get Windows Media Series 9 to download.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzSo I decide I will go do that. This time I get dialogs saying things like “Open” or “Save”. No guidance in the instructions which to do. I have no clue which to do.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzThe download is fast and the install takes 7 minutes for this thing.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzSo now I think I am going to have Moviemaker. I go to my add/remove programs place to make sure it is there.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzIt is not there.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzWhat is there? The following garbage is there. Microsoft Autoupdate Exclusive test package, Microsoft Autoupdate Reboot test package, Microsoft Autoupdate testpackage1. Microsoft AUtoupdate testpackage2, Microsoft Autoupdate Test package3.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzSomeone decided to trash the one part of Windows that was usable? The file system is no longer usable. The registry is not usable. This program listing was one sane place but now it is all crapped up.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzBut that is just the start of the crap. Later I have listed things like Windows XP Hotfix see Q329048 for more information. What is Q329048? Why are these series of patches listed here? Some of the patches just things like Q810655 instead of saying see Q329048 for more information.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzWhat an absolute mess.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzMoviemaker is just not there at all.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzSo I give up on Moviemaker and decide to download the Digital Plus Package.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzI get told I need to go enter a bunch of information about myself.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzI enter it all in and because it decides I have mistyped something I have to try again. Of course it has cleared out most of what I typed.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzI try (typing) the right stuff in 5 times and it just keeps clearing things out for me to type them in again.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzSo after more than an hour of craziness and making my programs list garbage and being scared and seeing that Microsoft.com is a terrible website I haven’t run Moviemaker and I haven’t got the plus package.Nov 06 07:44
schestowitzTL,DR; Bill Gates is nuts, according to Swapnil Bhartiya.Nov 06 07:45
schestowitzAnd since Bhartiya is criticising Bill Gates-- well, that means Swapnil is nuts according to himself.Nov 06 07:45
