Microsoft bad and all, but is this really a good fit for the pics community?

[–] IndiBrony 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean... it is a picture... of a screen. I guess it counts?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Isn't a screenshot also a picture? It can literally be the same file extension too.

Why didn't OP just take a screenshot? Why go through the effort of taking a photo with their phone to then transfer it to a PC?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

can you even take a screenshot before the login screen?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's not a screenshot. It's a photo of the screen.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, no shit. They were asking if the reason it's a photo of the screen might be that you can't take a screenshot of the login screen (which I have no idea the answer to)

Good point. If this community wasn't for screenshots, it would be called "photographs". All images, even memes, should be allowed here.

My favorite part of random picture communities is that I get to experience little slices of particularly notable life experiences different people have. This still fulfills that for me.

9/10 doctors recommend you watch at least 3 advertisements a day.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Is that tenth doctor accepting new patients?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Yes but good luck finding his number. He doesn't advertise anywhere.

What the fuck do you care about my fucking well-being, Microsoft, you pieces of garbage-water sucking shit!

[–] DrownedRats 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

You can't sell ads to dead people. As much as I imagine they'd like that.

Your worthless existence will be justified if you use Microsoft products. You will feel valid. You will feel loved. You will matter.

This is the psychology behind all tribalism.

What is Microsoft Search anyway? Is it the web results in the start menu that I always turn off or have they renamed Bing?

I'm saving that tune for future use

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I figured that was such a well-known xkcd that no citation was necessary. There really is an xkcd for everything.

I don't know or forgot this xkcd. Yayyy

Eh, give google another few years of enshittification and this statement will no longer be bonkers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

imo, it already is. I'm not using bing or google atm.

[–] kat_angstrom 10 points 1 day ago

Meaningless marketing gibberish, utilizing buzzwords + product name in an unholy algebra desperate for your attention and unconcerned whether or not it succeeds.

After all, how many RC Cola ads do you need to see before you'll buy RC Cola? How many times does Microsoft need to poke and prod at you before you'll refer to internet searches as "Bings"?

And how much longer will we accept this paradigm before we start pushing back, utilizing our own, actually genuine messaging until Microsoft finally finally hears: You are a disreputable company, and you're making the world a worse place.

...I tell them constantly, but they don't listen.
