Weren't they announced that they would make Windows more user-friendly just a few days ago? Did they break their premises already?

I mean open the most used software automatically can be user friendly. It's like a Chromebook. ;)

Kids those days. "Prefetch" folder in XP anyone ?

That's interesting. In my country ThinkPad E14 16/512 is 37% more expensive and comes with garbage 60% srgb screen. It's actually more expensive than MacBook air M4 16/512.

It't true that the ThinkPad display kind of sucks. Though I can upgrade to a 2K OLED panel for additional 80 USD. That makes the E14 30 bucks more expensive than the Neo.

I visited change.org to sign the petition for them, only to get spammed by far-right extremist propagandas supporting nazism like this: https://imgur.com/a/E6LMUcB

I regret giving my real name and e-mail address to that website now.

Schizoid personality is not a "disorder".

Having your own ideal and philosophy and not sheepishly following corporate and government propaganda (so called "trend") is what every other person should do.

I tried wayland multiple times before, but the lack of xsct equivalent and the awful input delay (compared to X11 window managers without compositor) made my experience very frustrating. Some might say "it's just a one or two frame delay", but for me that makes a night and day difference. Just an additonal frame delay gives me a feeling of driving a 70s American boat car with worn out tires.

Clippy was the Copilot from the late 90s: A pointless annoying gimmick that disrupted everyone's workflow.

The coconut death claim is an exaggerated lie. From the Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_coconut):

"In his paper, Barss observed that in Papua New Guinea, where he was based, over a period of four years 2.5% of trauma admissions were for those injured by falling coconuts. None were fatal but he mentioned two anecdotal reports of deaths, one several years before. That figure of two deaths went on to be misquoted as 150 worldwide, based on the assumption that other places would have a similar rate of falling coconut deaths."

Stop referencing Twitter posts. The only thing I see in it is a popup that I should sign up for their platform.

You can use xcancel.com or farside.link's nitter redirect to avoid that, if you're on Android it's easiest to use URLcheck‡ with these chunks added to the pattern checker:

``` "Twitter to Nitter": { "regex": "^https?:\\\/\\\/(www\\.|mobile\\.)?(twitter|x)\\.com\\\/(.)", "replacement": "https:\/\/farside.link\/nitter\/$3", "enabled": "true" }, "Twitter image to Nitter": { "regex": "^https?:\\\/\\\/(pic\\.twitter|pbs\\.twimg)\\.com\\\/(.)", "replacement": "https:\/\/farside.link\/nitter\/pic\/$1", "enabled": "true" }, ``` (I haven't updated my copy of the Twitter image regex for the rename because I haven't seen any X.com image links and upstream seems dead)

Even more annoying when the twitter post in question is literally just a screenshot. Put it in the blog post.

It still hides your cursor though.

This is not about "lack of humanity", but about violating fundamental UX rules such as hiding your cursor at random times. It's offensive.

You don't have to sacrifice usability while expressing personality.

I barely noticed it. The complaints I've read about it are making a mountain out of a molehill.
