Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Note: I don't care if the issues listed can be fixed - it's still like selling a nonworking car then getting the users to go to the shady cyberpunk district to get the fixes. It's like selling a dangerous power adapter and then go, hey, you can get an expert to go in there and do some soldering to the bridge rectifier and bulk cap trace widths, fix up the spark gaps so it complies with the most basic of safety regulations, and it will work as well as the competitor's, so aren't they practically the same? "Duurp, well at least you CAAAN get inside and solder-" Hey, what if a power supply just worked and was well featured? After like 40 years of development. Ever thought about that?

Wow, and this does not even touch on all the news, tops, widget garbage set as default ux. There is no place for Trump or Musk on my PC yet when I tried W11, each boot was basically a countdown to me seeing their ugly mugs by hovering in a wrong place and getting full screen news overlay.

I've been asking my work to turn these off. We have banks of computers for online trainings, and clock in/clock out etc. It gets really old trying to open things and getting the overlay. On my personal work computer before I traded in for a work provided one I had completely gotten rid of a lot of this crap. It irks my soul that it's back now because IT doesn't consider it to be problematic enough.
