A charity I give IT support to just bought some new laptops, when I came to set them up, I found that it is no longer possible to set up Windows with just a local account.

So the charity has decided to transition to Linux, all new computers will have Linux installed at set up...

I will try to hide my smugness at becoming a #Linux person again. Just put #LinuxMint on and it was crazy easy. Took less time than deactivating all the privacy and security problems on a fresh #windows10 install.
Linux is not just for computer people anymore. I urge you to try it. Just install alongside windows while you get used to it if you are worried. #fuckmicrosoft

Thanks MS for not having an "Unsubscribe" link that just works. No, I have to be logged in to unsubscribe from Windows Insider spam, which, for some reason, goes to an e-mail I never used for a Microsoft account.

The MS Login? ...HTTP 429 "too many requests"

Hacer que un portátil ACER Travelmate funcione con Linux está siendo una absoluta odisea.

Menuda basura de BIOS. Vomitivo.

Necesita una contraseña para habilitar menús, no detecta los archivos .efi automáticamente, y ahora el LUKS me está fallando fuertemente y sospecho que debe ser algo del "TPM" que lleva y que no parece que pueda desactivar.

Una cosa juro y perjuro: ese ordenador no volverá a arrancar un Windows jamás.

¡#Skype desaparece! https://www.skype.com/es/

Skype ha sido mi infancia. No hablo de #MSN porque en aquellos entonces yo no existía.

Odiaré #Microsoft, pero la desaparición de esta plataforma de comunicación se siente como perder algo que formó activamente parte de mi infancia.

Recuerdo aquellos días en el que llegaba a casa y llamaba a mi pobre abuelo para sentir su compañía - la distancia que nos separa es inmensa...

Así que, nuevamente, #FuckMicrosoft... #HastaSiempreSkype.

A todos aquellos que estéis buscando alguna solución para seguir en contacto con vuestros familiares, os animo a probar #Signal (https://signal.org/install).

Only rarely do I have to venture into the festering toxic megacolon that is Sharepoint, and I always feel like I need a shower after. What an absolute dumpster fire that app is. #fuckmicrosoft

And I know that right now would not be a good time to check my blood pressure but because I'm curious, I'll do it anyway.

Hmmm.... Not as bad as I expected. I guess those meds do work.

Ich sach ja sonst nich', dass Leude, wenn sie XYZ, dann: Kontrolle über ihr Leben verloren.
(Alleine weil das der ekelhafte #Lagerfeld über wundervolle #Jogginghosen gesagt hat!)
Aber ehrlich: wenn mensch noch #MicrosoftOffice statt #LibreOffice benutzt (zumindest privat), dann stimmt das wirklich!
@libreoffice
#FuckMicrosoft

#Microsoft is testing free #Office for #Windows apps with #ads. #Microsoft has started testing a free version of #Office for #Windows that includes ads. 
https://www.theverge.com/news/618278/microsoft-office-free-windows-apps-ad-supported-version
#fuckmicrosoft , use #freesoftware (free as in #freedom ) like #libreoffice completly free of ads

Fucking hell, #Microsoft! Stop changing things for no good reason!

I have my clock set to 24-hour format for a fucking reason, but now it appears I can't do that...

So, I got a new phone.

I transferred over from the old phone, and did a factory reset so I could give my partner a new old phone. Now I can't access Outlook for work, because the Authenticator app wasn't set up for backup, because why even would it be?

THIS Is why you should never ever use #Windows in any #MissionCritical setup whatsoever!

I am using Linux Mint now, it's easy and nice. But my heart still belongs to Fedora

UGH!!!!!!! Microsoft is disgusting.
