So when he looks at Windows 11 and calls it something bad, you should probably pay attention.

He is someone that cares about operation and information security. Modern Consumer operating systems basically throw all of that out of the window. On top of that he hate Microsoft.

And when you perfect the God shot, it ceases being the God shot.

I'll believe it when I lose my last remaining customers to other platforms. We're going out of business in June.

Well, I mean, do you know many houses burn down because someone fell asleep while frying a pork chop? We should just get rid of kitchens at home because it's just not safe.

Oil fires cause immense damage to property and life! I don’t know why stoves are allowed in homes at all. Worse yet, they don’t implement any age verification, so a child can just turn on the burner! It’s crazy!

People are actually trying to legally ban gas stoves in homes based on reasoning similar to this.

I thought that was because they emit pollution into the room that was actually (not theoretical) linked to substantially higher risk of the occupants of the home getting asthma?

Yes, it increases it by 0.00% and if we get rid of cooking entirely, we can lower it even further.

How did you learn that it's 0.00%?

The unmonitored copying alone!

Teams is still a horrendous pile of crap. It's just that you've gotten used to the stench. It has few redeeming qualities other than, "we don't have to pay for another subscription" and that's not even the case in the EU.

Yeah but today you can at least have a video call more or less normally. Back then it was a hiccup after a hiccup, it was impossible to work normally, and yet orgs pushed it down everybody's throats as it was bundled.

Definitely. Besides the performance issues, back then, Teams barely had any features. One example was that it wouldn't show you who was talking. First time we had a call was with 30 people and I remember a manager calling out a director responsible for this decision jokingly saying, "and you don't know who I am because Team doesn't show you who's talking."

The UI is an overengineered mess and I'd rather use literally anything else, but to say it's still unusable is disingenuous.

Didn't they all switch to convention over configuration and dependency injection so now your configuration is your source code?

Some people did but that's actually worse. Your configuration comes magically out of nowhere and when it breaks you can't fix it.

Nobody ever wanted to wire up RPC endpoints, in the form of Enterprise JavaBeans(tm), using XML files. That is one for the history books of ridiculous technology.

XML files are bad. Invisible magic is worse. The sensible way to wire up a bunch of RPC endpoints is, like the sensible way to do most things, plain old code.

If allowing children access to social media is dangerous, then why aren't they enforcing existing child abuse and child endangerment laws? Throw the parents in prison for failing to control their children.

>If allowing children access to social media is dangerous, then why aren't they enforcing existing child abuse and child endangerment laws?

Because there's no remotely compelling evidence for this and it'd be thrown out by a judge as a huge parental rights violation.

So the justification for these age restrictions is bogus then?

Presumably they'll burn down the libraries.

We got rid of the IDENT protocol a long time ago because it was stupid.

You mean because it was being used as a doxxing tool.

Argumentation 101: “it’s stupid” isn’t a reason.

Oh man... the popularity of the tailwind css framework. I have big-o Opinions on that, but screw it, if it helps people get things done quickly, then I'm all for it. The semantic xml/html dweebs set us back a solid decade.

Indeed, I can't think of anybody who prefers <button> to <div><div><div><div class="button xl red-border top-pad-2x rounded-corner-in-bottom-left-but-not-other-corners" onclick="javascript:...">
