Apart the "I have a hammer so everything looks like a nail" mentality, he sounds a little too condescending. The right follow up would be "then why are you doing W11"

he sounds a little too condescending

more condescending than the idiots in this thread using a random troll as an excuse to soapbox about the evils of windows?

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

hey that sounds a little condescending

Year 2086: JavaScript devs form a new country with a country code JS so that they can register .js domains.

Year 3019: There.js is.js no.js escape.js

Id host so much malicious code at that tld. Can you imagine the amount of people who would just copy directly from the first page they see?

I just asked a friend of mine that's former Microsoft from back in the day.

He said he was checking out telemetry and stuff from start menu errors. Said he saw 100+ function deep stack traces and that it was an IE WebView.

Sounds like the stuff on nightmares

[-] Natanael@infosec.pub 4 points 2 months ago

At minimum the Bing previews built in definitely calls a web view...

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

This hurts. This hurts so bad.

[-] amanverasia@lemm.ee 50 points 2 months ago

No wonder it takes 20% CPU when you open the start menu.

while looking into this online, i found this masterpiece windows11-react

(life demo)

[-] tabris@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago

Why

WHY NOT? Why not just waste a week of your life creating a react project just to coverup your insecurities of how incompetent you are. Just Why not!

At least they're self aware.

my web page blue screened. It is awesome that I can back arrow out of a blue screen. Server may not do so well.

Yes, it is. I have no idea if the guy is telling the truth though, about being the guy responsible. Unfortunate that he shares a name with the Ubisoft executive.

EDIT: Alright, looking at the rest of his responses, he has got to just be a random guy, joking around, hahaha.

[-] lowered_lifted 1 points 1 month ago

there's no way he's not trolling and it's hilarious that everyone is falling for it

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

It's a little disturbing to me that most people didn't seem to ask this question. Like I get believing everything about W11 is shitty, but how do you ignore the tone of the replies in the post? And yes I know there are people who struggle with tone, etc, etc. But it's not like that's 95% of the users here. Occam's razor leads me to believe people are mostly just gullible especially when confirmation bias is a factor.

[-] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 25 points 2 months ago

I'm being honest here, I've done things like this at prior jobs. It was mostly a reflection of unfortunate business decisions than personal preference or skill set, per se.

If my raises and promotions are contingent on me achieving a goal like "use a reactive JavaScript framework in public facing component" or "develop an application in NodeJS", then you better believe I'm going to do both of those things regardless of whether the right project comes my way or not. I will find a way. Q3 comes around and I haven't been given an appropriate project to achieve my goals? Yes, I'm absolutely going to integrate an LLM component into the project search function of our business reporting system so I can check off the arbitrary "AI" goal I needed to complete in order to qualify for the top tier raise percentage.

[-] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

This reads dystopian to me.

[-] lowered_lifted 1 points 1 month ago

It is, but it's also real shit. Basically shows how the structure of the systems that people have to use every day, that their bosses buy for them because most workplaces aren't democracies, is determined by the incentives that devs have in their workplace. The latest Business Fad like agile scrum vs waterfall, or whatever is cool now, and also how bonus structures work + how the company culture works, all directly or indirectly affect the way software works. That's why studying sociology and anthropology is important, because then we can design incentive structures that get people making good software that serves humanity. I don't know if such a thing is possible under capitalism with a profit motive. I think in a postcapitalist world we could have honor and other social rewards go to the person whose software helps people the most. We are a long way off from that.

When your daily quests don't line up with the story but you make it work anyway.

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

That...made me feel kind of sad actually.
