Is it possible that Microsoft Windows is not a very good computer program

[hypostase@bsd.network]

@mcc all things are possible, I suppose, in an infinite universe. 3.11 might have been OK, and there were rumours of POSIX compliance in one of the early NT based versions, though which one escapes me, just at the moment.

@mcc if it has a dedicated screen for errors. Something called blue screen of death, it probably is not.

[lexfeathers@tenforward.social]

@mcc possibly

[snuffleupagus@mstdn.social]

@mcc yes

[nerts@yiff.life]

@mcc big if true

[joshg@mathstodon.xyz]

@mcc

yes

[groxx@hachyderm.io]

@mcc I think it's spelled "copilot" these days

[lgs@friendsofdesoto.social]

@mcc This is not a question it is a statement. It also happens to be true.

[dukeduke@mastodon.social]

@mcc I'm going to go with, 'Yes'.

[guillotine_jones@beige.party]

@Tock @mcc
I, for, one hope that Microsoft is a relic of the psst by then.

[woltiv@mastodon.social]

@mcc Not just possible, but probable.

@mcc I moved both laptops to Linux mint Nov & Dec 2025.

[nlarson830@techhub.social]

@mcc

Indeed, but I think that was a while ago
It's worse now

[mahadevank@mastodon.social]

@mcc its been 25 years and files still get locked, forcing you to restart to release the lock, so you can delete or rename the file.

You decide.

[nommiesav@social.vivaldi.net]

@mcc hmmmm i think so…

[nommiesav@social.vivaldi.net]

@honor2025 @mcc oh distro twins (i switched jan 2026 tho)

[lumiworx@mastodon.social]

@mcc

If you give a room full of monkeys with typewriters 150k random DLLs, could they produce Windows 12 by accident?

[d1@autistics.life]

@mcc it's an OS fit for raccoons halfway reaching into a juicy dumpster on a very hot and humid day, the stench radiating 10 metres in all directions like a punch in the face when it reaches one's nostrils

[da_667@infosec.exchange]

@mcc its possible.
