In-reply-to » Made this awful mistake of not doing pre-prep work before going away on our next camper trip (now). Discovered this morning that some (idiot) person had turned off the power to the camper trailer and the battery was basically dead. I just hope it's not "dead dead". We plan to leave after 4hrs of Bulk Charge from the mains power and it's internal battery charger and hope for the best. I'm also brining a spare 12.8V LifePo4 battery that is basically full to power the fridge, just in case. Fark I'm an idiot 🤦‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net oh dear! 😬😩

@mckinley@twtxt.net He likes it enough which is good. The painful part is some OSS software just really sucks ass 😢 He’s found it particularly hard to find a decent “document” editor/tool he likes. He’s stuck with Abiword for now, but it’s not the most polished ir easiest to use. It also saves things in a really weird non-portable? format?

@prologic@twtxt.net You’re right, but they’re not going to stop until people vote with their wallets.

@bender@twtxt.net I’m not suggesting that people should use an old Windows version to avoid this. I’m saying that Windows in general should be considered a legacy operating system, and continued usage will only make you subject to more of this tracking and unnecessary garbage.

In other words, the situation will never improve. It will only get worse from here, so you might as well get out now while there are still plenty of life boats. Otherwise, when they do something that’s really over the line, you either have to go along with it or dive right into the cold ocean.

Windows is only kept alive at this point by a lack of knowledge about the alternatives, apathy, fear, and some enterprise software and games with support in Wine improving by the day.

@mckinley which one would you call a legacy operating system? If referring to a previous Microsoft Windows OS, it will not be legacy for long. Granted, it might during our lifetime, but I tend to look (and often worry) a bit further.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Well yes, true, but not my primary point. Microsoft really needs to pull their head out of their ass. Toyota, BMW, Samsung and even Apple to some extent. Companies need to understand a basic economic rule: If a customer buys your product X, they really don’t expect to have to pay for (useless) service Y in order to use product X. I’m looking at you BMW and Toyota, both have attempted to do this and somewhat failed at a consumer level. I wonder why 🤦‍♂️

Now Microsoft?! C’mon. For fuck’s sake. If I buy a new “today” computer of some kind. I expect to be able to use it “offline” if I want. I’m not going to be forced into paying for a subscription or handing over all my personal information to some stupid tech company that has no business whatsoever treating me as “their product”.
