Embrace, extend, and extinguish. They literally documented it as being their strategy. Now the justice department is chasing Google who despite being bad, at least provides enough source code where people have created privacy-focused derivatives of Android. I'd much rather see them go after Microsoft first but the government relies on Microsoft, and Microsoft relies on our tax dollars going to the government so they can get them.

Bitch I can't even find basic settings cuz they are so hidden in sub menus

I'm no programmer or UX designer but I can imagine what a mess things are on the dev side

[–] [email protected] 99 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (5 children)

As an admin it gets so much worse. Twice a year your admin portal gets renamed, redesigned, merged with and/or split from another one, or removed, and all those changes are done halfway.
Which means some settings are only on the old version and others only on the new. Then the old one is discontinued even though the new one doesn't have all its functions, yet.
So you completely rely on Powershell. But wait, there's 2 incompatible versions of it now.

I'm currently thinking about a career change, after reading in Microsoft's official documentation that you need to install the new version of Powershell, import the beta version of several commandlets and then run a long script provided by them, only to keep every user on your org from creating their own Teams teams.
And their newest feature is allowing every user to put in their credit card info and buy MS products on the company domain without running it by IT. It's called "self service", enabled by default, and you have to click on a slider to disable it individually for every. single. product. Microsoft. offers.

Jesus Christ.

I've been doing linux admin and honestly I haven't been looking back. My breaking point was Microsoft pushing a kb that rebooted domain controllers for no reason.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (5 children)

I still remember the update that sent domain controllers into a bootloop.
That was fun!

And the one that bluescreened all Windows servers.
No, the other one!

Oh, and the one that did an in-place-upgrade by itself, then locked your server cause it wasn't licensed for the new OS version.

Didn't they call it "the most secure" a while ago?

Why are they allowed to openly lie?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

In the case of marketing, it's just considered an opinion, mostly because if anything like that is ever put forth to a Judge, there's 900 odd ways to loophole it.

"We meant our assholes, your honor; as open as they come."

"We meant uhm... accepting."

A probably a bit political for this topic, but most companies are allowed to lie about most things. Only a few things that they're not allowed to lie about.

Sometimes the elites poke fun at us with obviously untrue, absurd statements. It's the equivalent of grabbing someone's fist, pushing it in their face, and saying "stop punching yourself".

most open to user privacy violations?

[–] LordWiggle 22 points 4 days ago (10 children)

Most open for frustration. Most open for ads. Most open for taking away control from the user.

Trust me, in a few years windows will be a monthly subscription, still filled with ads and no control over your own pc. Windows 10 will turn to a yearly subscription already. 30 dollars per year per pc for security updates. Office is already subscription based. Companies smell money, want to turn everything to a subscription.

Most open to making money at the expense of security.

"“What they were telling me was counterintuitive to everything I’d heard at Microsoft about ‘customer first,’” Harris said. “Now they’re telling me it’s not ‘customer first,’ it’s actually ‘business first.’”

DiCola, Harris’ then-supervisor, told ProPublica the race to dominate the market for new and high-growth areas like the cloud drove the decisions of Microsoft’s product teams. “That is always like, ‘Do whatever it frickin’ takes to win because you have to win.’ Because if you don’t win, it’s much harder to win it back in the future. Customers tend to buy that product forever.”

What happens when you favor marketing over anything else?

You just lie, lie, lie, so many times that you actually believe your own shit

Open to everything except the concept of unix.

I had just hit the button on a recording session last night, and a fucking full page "ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE EOL OF WINDOWS 10!!" (paraphrased) popped up over my DAW. Yeah, I'm prepared alright Microsoft. I've got a flash drive with Linux ready to install if you keep pulling shit like this. It's going to suck because a lot of audio software developers are garbage with Linux support, but if Windows is just as garbage, there's no reason not to migrate.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

We, at least in the US, are living in a "post factual" world. So this makes perfect sense. Like when my kid was small and everytime he thought he "lost" at something he would declare it Opposite Day. Fuck it, why not? M$ being the most open OS makes no sense, so it makes total sense. War is Peace^tm^
