I've seen the hype and warned the users of long-term lock-in effects. Then OneNote failed and people lost (parts of) their data.

I've seen the hype and it happened again.

Now, I see the hype. (At least the file format is an open one.)

If you want to spare yourself some effort, think of starting with a solution with no lock-in: https://karl-voit.at/orgmode/

Wow, heute geht es wirklich Schlag auf Schlag! #Meta will #Threads auf #Mastodon ausweiten und #Microsoft-#OpenAI-#ChatGPT verkündet eine mediale „Partnerschaft“ mit #AxelSpringer!

Das nichtkommerzielle #Fediversum gerät rasant unter Druck, WEIL es für die #Zukunft entscheidend wird! Warnte bereits vor Jahren zu „Die #Desinformierer“ in der Jüdischen Allgemeinen 👇: „Wenn ein #Mediensystem kaputt ist, stürzt die #Demokratie ab.“ #Medienethik wird relevanter denn je… https://www.juedische-allgemeine.de/politik/die-desinformierer/?amp

Fuck #Microsoft!

Rebooted and the sign-in screen had a lovely nature pic, but when I moused over to enter my password, text reminded me what a great app #LinkedIn is and maybe I should go get it.

First time tonight, August 8, 2023.

I stopped going to movies because they began playing ads before the films. I don't like paying to be advertised to.

Here's a friendly reminder to enable Sync if you're using Vivaldi on several devices, be that your computer, your phone or your car. 😃

That way, when you switch devices, you'll have access to your open Tabs, Bookmarks, Speed Dials, Notes & more!

Learn more about Sync: https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/tools/sync/

We build Vivaldi with the user in mind, and truly hope that our features will make your browsing better.

Have any improvement suggestions? Let us know, we are always listening! 👂

Maybe #Microsoft could waste less money on dicking around with "AI" an spend a few bucks to fix their fucking abysmal OneDrive app? Dropbox had that shit figured out years ago (and then messed it all up to "grow").

Workflow: Copy a .docx file into my OneDrive. It gets synced to the cloud. I now can no longer edit the local file on my machine in my OneDrive space because "Permissions changed" or whatever. Fucking useless.

Friends. I’m seeking advice for my niece.

She’s being asked to take on new responsibilities at her job and wants to be properly compensated. They’re asking her to do Microsoft Access work. Her role isn’t technical and has nothing to do with it. (She’s also a Black woman who doesn’t want to get walked over because of it.)

Does anyone have any advice or info about what compensation looks like for that kind of work? Thanks in advance!

🤬 Alors voilà, je n'apprendrai rien à la plupart d'entre vous (il me semble), mais j'en remets une couche, tant j'exècre #Microsoft et ses petits copains #GAFAM. Aviez-vous bien noté, outre le fait que Windows 10 arrivera en fin de support en 2025, que Windows 11 requiert au minimum un processeur Intel Core ou AMD de 2018. Imaginez-vous le nombre d'ordinateurs mis au rebu depuis la sortie de Windows 11, et ceux qui le seront d'ici à 2025. C'est une catastrophe écologique, un véritable scandale.

A differenza di quanto si dice stanno già monetizzando il vostro profilo, non c'è bisogno che arrivi #threads: #google e #microsoft sanno tutto di noi, ci controllano e archiviano tutte le discussioni con i loro motori di ricerca e archiviano tutto per darlo in pasto alle AI.
Per evitarlo serve cancellare tutti i vecchi messaggi:

Serve anche escludere il profilo dai motori di ricerca bing-google e non rendere visibile chi seguite e chi vi segue:

Wait, is there any way at all to install Windows 11 on a laptop without connecting it to the bullshit "Microsoft account" thing?

The installer seems not to give me that option. As in, there is no way to move forward without "signing in."

What the actual fsck.

Edit: trying a non-existent account worked. It then allowed me to proceed without a Microsoft account. 🤦‍♀️

Niedersachsen setzt nun auf Microsoft Teams in der Landesverwaltung. Zitat: "Maßgeblich für die DSGVO-Konformität von Teams war die Entscheidung von Microsoft, die Daten in Europa zu speichern und zu verarbeiten („EU-Boundary“)."

Der alte Taschenspieler-Trick. Er funktioniert offenbar noch immer. 🤦‍♂️

The US Dept. of Justice famously once described Microsoft's tactics as:

"Embrace, extend, and extinguish."

Meta (Facebook) are likely employing the same towards the Fediverse. Meta are the present day IT equivalent of the Borg. They must be resisted.

A movie about IT for the weekend 📌

I mean something that reflects part of the history of the IT industry

If you have already watched "Halt and Catch Fire" series more than once, then what else can you watch in the same genre this weekend?

1️⃣ Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999)
2️⃣ Micro Men (2009)
3️⃣ BlackBerry (2023)

The school I'm going to this autumn is sadly requiring me to use #Windows, and wow, it's just so… inelegant. Lack of freedom and privacy aside, it has stuttery animations, UI elements scrolling into nothing, inconsistent alignments all over the place, an unnecessarily big and pedantic collection of preferences that makes the settings system a hassle to navigate, and so on. Hard to believe this is coming from #Microsoft.
