Lol. I pitched getting these last year and my boss laughed. "Have you worked with these people? They're incompetent. They can't tell you how a single thing works, let alone the whole system. It sounds nice to have, but we'll have to do it ourselves"

Are you insinuating Linux (or osx for that matter) is well known for shipping well loved defaults?

I will never understand how anyone can take the osx dock and menubar seriously. They're both just objectively awful uz

I get putting it here but it should probably just be in the normal search. Search is shit on every os in general. LLM could theoretically help it find actually relevant stuff (and filter out the kink it usually surfaces).

You can add it back in taskbar settings if you use it (and remove the copilot button if you hate it).

You can have it, but expecting modern windows to run seems a bit silly. It's a for sale product not a community supported hobby project.

If it was worth supporting for old ATMs or POS terminals, Ms probably would. But the people with those systems aren't paying for windows updates.

iMessage is the same though... It only falls back to sms when required (like everything else) and people hate it when it does.

I don't think I ever got spam from any jabber server even when google and Facebook were running them. You still have to opt in to messages from something. If I had to guess ,I'd guess every chat service is still an xmpp server under a surface level encryption.

Tech needs to unionize. The only way to fight this is just to have the entire workforce walk out.

Walled gardens are inherantly designed to exclude communities and drive classism. Want to view this picture? Sorry you can't because you dsint pay the fee. Want to chat with this group? Sorry were going to make inconvienent to everyone involved that you didn't pay the fee.

The end goal is to split people up into have and have nots in order to drive desire for your product with little thougt given to the poorer communies it disenfranchises. Your attitude is the boomer "fuck you. Got mine" one.

I don't think people like the walled garden. I think they don't know what it is even. They assume they can't buy a competitors headset/watch/tv because it won't work, and often they're probably right because apple refuses use open protocols. But I don't think they draw the line between the two. It's not because of apple refusing to implement something it doesn't work. It's because "the competitor is bad", or because they don't have the "deep integration" between the two or something. It never occurs to them that if you just make the API public it suddenly "just works" for everyone.

Genuinely curious, do real people actually use ipads?
