You should not trust those builds. Everything you need to know is documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services

Windows 10/11 Enterprise is recommended as that’s the version where Microsoft can’t fuck up.

No, that’s a myth. Registry edits may revert in some cases yes, but group policy is different as it designed exactly to configure machines in a stable way.

Group policy may be beyond the general skill level, which makes the constant Linux suggestions even more laughable.

Ahaha yeah, I’ve said that SO MANY times. People have issues setting a few toggles on a point-and-click UI but then it is okay to suddenly move to a entirely different OS that most likely won’t have the software they’re used to and requires terminal skills to deal with most things. Laughable indeed.

Completely bullshit, garbage clickbait title.

Windows 10 is near EoL, however that’s for Home/Pro/Enterprise versions, you can move to one of those for more time:

• Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC - 2027
• Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC - 2032

To be fair I don’t really believe that Microsoft will kill it when they say they will. And even if they do it, porting security updates from those LTSC versions into the regular ones might be doable.

Now on Windows 11:

You can just disable copilot and all the other garbage using group policy, now that hard and you’ll end up with essentially Windows 10. https://www.xda-developers.com/how-disable-microsoft-copilot/

json spec draft 7

There’s comments in the specs and a bunch of parsers that actually inore //

I dint know many OO languages that don’t have a useless toString on string types

Okay, fair enough. Guess I never found about it because I never had to do it… JS also allows for "test string".toString() directly, not sure how it goes in other languages.

Today I found out that this is valid JS:

const someString = "test string";
console.log(someString.toString());

At least he is honest about who he / the platform supports, not some shady algorithm pending to one side, or some tv channel being left while another is right lol

No shit, but then even Obama used Twitter to win the elections. What’s new?

tax payer subsidies

It’s not subsidies, it is tax breaks if companies go there. A very different thing.

So what, people need cloud services and Netherlands did the same and became one of the top spot for datacenters in Europe and nobody is bitching around.

It depends on the type of application and size. For your typical business app / backoffice with tons of fields on the same page and real time data reactivity makes sense, otherwise it doesn’t.

Not only C, I’ve had experiences with real time applications in Angular and React pushing like 100 updates a second and it’s really easy to fuck something up that will trigger change detection and subsequent calls to death and create a scenario like that.

The good part: two garbage apps will be gone from windows 😂

Most of the annoying stuff that Linux users hate about Windows are because Windows has to cater to even the least technologically knowledgeable users.

Isn’t that the whole idea of GNOME? Always considering users as stupid and lowering the bar?

Andrew complains, Microsoft makes a root mode so Andrew can have his way. Andrew breaks his computer the next second by deleting a system file and proceeds to call Microsoft support. :)

+1 for this. This is kinda the same issue with encoding, just UTF-8 everything and move on.
