I’ve been on IRC long before the stone age (so to speak) and its neither dated nor dead.

Not everyone needs the fancy audio, video and imagery that new protocols provider for. Some of us are content with just text. And for me thats the great value of IRC.

I heard this, in a trump voice, in my head 😂

I learned something new! So thank you. I didn’t know any of this. And every once in a while i’ll watch a DT video, and i dont think they are bad. And i dont hate DT :)

I comfort myself with the idea that it must be harder to lose a child. I suppose that will have to be enough :(

They died. At very crucial points in my life. My dad 4 years ago, i mom 1.5 months ago.

Its litterally the worst thing they ever did.

AAAASSSS LOOOONGGG AS YOU LOOOVVEEEE MEEEEE!!! LAAALLALALAAAALALALAAAAAA

Nothing. I would never agree to such thing. I could never not listning to Celine.

But it isnt illegal!

Talking to me.

A CD-Rom with Windows ME. only took me 2 hours after buying to break it in pieces. It hung in the computer store for years as a trofee 😂

Thats because a lot of users dont really want to use Windows, or the computer in general. They use it, because they have to.

For the same reason, i would never know what to do when my car breaks down. Sure i can look under the hood and do this and that. But its not my area of expertise, and its not something im interested in.

I’m a sysadmin, i know almost everything about powershell and then some. That doesnt mean my users do though. For them, a computer is a magical black box thats supposed to “just work” by clicking here and there. Just like a car is to me :)

Yes, you can. But a lot of Windows users dont even know what powershell is.

And personally i think you shouldnt have to jump through hoops for what i consider basic functionality. They also make it near impossible to install Windows 11 new without having to resort to all kind of tricks to create a local account. Its a shitshow.

In my humble opinion :)

Ahh, never knew that!

I thought Windows wouldn’t let you save it to the same drive? Its been a while, granted. But i had to plug in a USB or print it out.

The problem is, knowing Microsft, its gonna be turned on by default. And half the people who use Windows barely know how to turn the computer on and off. Let alone dive deep into some half baked settings app to figure out where to turn it off.

I havent figured out yet what a tankie is.

You’ll quickly learn that money isnt everything. The stress of this nonsense will eventually kill your work ethics. Start looking now.

knock knock knock in the middle of the nicht because i forgot to turn off my speakers, and the whole household would wake up 😂

Oh wauw! I think ICQ 98b was the best version ever! Then everyone switched to MSN, and down hill went the internet (for me anyway)

But now that the cat’s out of the bag…

Thank you :)
