What A Joke, Can't Believe People Still Voluntarily Use This OS

6 hours ago 105.0K views 0 shares

Windows telling you that Terminal isn't available in your account and you need to sign into the Store to fix it. Because apparently, even your command line needs Microsoft account authentication now. Nothing says "developer-friendly" like requiring a Microsoft Store login just to access a terminal emulator. The real kicker? They give you an error code like it's going to help. Spoiler alert: Googling that hex code will lead you down a rabbit hole of forum posts from 2019 with no solutions, just other people saying "same problem here." And the "Get help with this" link? That's going straight to a support page that'll tell you to restart your computer and check for updates. Meanwhile, Linux users are spinning up their 47th terminal instance without even thinking about it. But hey, at least Windows has that pretty cyan "Close" button.

Linux users living in their peaceful bubble of open-source superiority, only to wake up and discover that Windows is suddenly the internet's punching bag again. It's like being a vegan at a barbecue—you didn't even have to say anything, everyone just started dunking on meat eaters unprompted. Whether it's forced updates, telemetry drama, or yet another "feature" nobody asked for, Windows manages to unite the internet in collective groaning. Meanwhile, Linux users just sit there with their perfectly customized distros, sipping coffee, wondering what fresh hell Microsoft unleashed this time.

No Privacy For You, Peasant!

Linux and macOS users sitting pretty with their encryption keys while Windows folks are out here basically handing their data to Microsoft on a silver platter. The smugness is palpable and honestly? Justified. Nothing says "I value my privacy" quite like choosing an OS that doesn't treat encryption like a suggestion. Meanwhile Windows users are playing 4D chess trying to figure out which telemetry settings actually do something and which ones are just theater. The founding fathers would've run Arch, btw.

I Love This Microsoft Teams Meme

Imagine proudly announcing you're the lead developer behind Microsoft Teams and expecting a warm welcome, only to get immediately banished from someone's home like you just confessed to a crime against humanity. The audacity! The betrayal! The sheer HORROR of being responsible for the app that eats RAM like it's an all-you-can-eat buffet, crashes during important meetings, and has notification settings that make absolutely zero sense. This poor soul just wanted to make a good impression on their future father-in-law, but instead they've revealed they're basically the architect of corporate suffering. Sir, you built the digital equivalent of a haunted house where messages disappear, calls drop randomly, and the "Away" status mocks your very existence. Ten seconds is honestly generous.

Somethings Supporting Those Umm Technologies

Ah yes, the classic tech industry anatomy lesson. OpenAI and Microsoft Copilot are getting all the attention up top, looking shiny and impressive, while the real MVPs—FOSS projects, independent artists, and venture capital—are doing the heavy lifting down below. It's almost poetic how these AI giants are basically standing on the shoulders of... well, everything else. OpenAI scraped half the internet (including your GitHub repos, you're welcome), Copilot trained on millions of lines of open-source code, and both are propped up by billions in VC money that's desperately hoping this AI bubble doesn't pop before they exit. The irony? The open-source community built the foundation, artists unknowingly donated their work to the training sets, and VCs threw cash at it like confetti. Meanwhile, the fancy AI tools get all the credit while casually forgetting to mention the awkward "how did we get this data again?" conversation. Classic tech move—stand on giants, claim you're flying.

So you're telling me 30% of your new code is AI-generated and you've got a bug where clicking 'X' spawns Task Manager instances like rabbits? The math checks out. Nothing says "cutting-edge AI-powered development" quite like a basic UI interaction causing process duplication. Really makes you wonder what that 30% of AI code is doing—probably writing infinite loops and feeling proud about it. The corporate irony here is chef's kiss: bragging about AI productivity while shipping bugs that would make a junior dev blush. Sure, AI can write code faster, but apparently nobody told it about the whole "quality assurance" thing. At this rate, Windows 12 will just be a chatbot apologizing for bugs in real-time.

When you're so done with Microsoft's ecosystem that you're ready to pledge your soul to Valve and their Steam Deck running SteamOS (which is Linux-based, btw). The irony? You're basically begging a gaming company to save you from Windows updates, forced reboots, and the never-ending "We're getting things ready for you" screens. The best part is that SteamOS is built on Linux, so you're essentially saying "I'd rather learn Proton compatibility layers and fiddle with Wine prefixes than deal with one more Edge browser popup." And honestly? Valid. At least when Linux breaks, you chose to break it yourself.

Microsoft In The 90s Vs Today

Microsoft AI Windows

Remember when Microsoft was the unstoppable titan that had governments filing antitrust lawsuits because they were too dominant? Yeah, those were the days. Back in the 90s, they were flexing hard with Windows 95, crushing Netscape, and basically owning the entire desktop market like a monopolistic bodybuilder. Fast forward to today, and they've gone from "our OS will dominate the world" to desperately begging you to try their AI chatbot. "Please use Bing! We added ChatGPT! Look, Copilot can write your emails!" It's like watching a former heavyweight champion now selling protein shakes on Instagram. The transformation is wild—from antitrust villain to the company that's just happy you're using Edge (which is just Chrome with extra steps anyway). They went from "embrace, extend, extinguish" to "embrace open source and pray people notice us."

Does Anyone Here Actually Want AI Baked Into The OS

Microsoft announces they're adding AI to Windows. The crowd goes absolutely feral trying to escape. It's like watching rats flee a sinking ship, except the ship is your operating system and the water is Copilot suggestions you never asked for. Nobody wanted Clippy. Nobody wanted Cortana. And yet here we are again, with Microsoft insisting that what your OS really needs is an AI assistant that'll probably hallucinate your file paths and suggest you rewrite your PowerShell scripts in a "more creative way." Can't wait for my kernel to start giving me motivational quotes during BSOD. The best part? They'll make it impossible to uninstall, just like Edge.

Microsoft's entire user base when they announced Copilot would be embedded into Windows 11. Nobody asked for an AI assistant that uses 2GB of RAM just to tell you the weather, but here we are. The enthusiasm gap between Microsoft's boardroom and actual users has never been wider—they're out here acting like we've been desperately waiting for our OS to hallucinate file locations and suggest we "try turning it off and on again" in a more conversational tone. The collective exodus speaks volumes: some fled to Linux, others just disabled every AI feature they could find in Settings (good luck finding them all). Meanwhile, Microsoft's still convinced this is what innovation looks like.

Listen Here Rich Bitch, I Own My Pc

The dystopian nightmare we're all hurtling towards at breakneck speed! Big Tech really out here trying to convince us that owning hardware is SO last century, darling. Why buy a computer when you can just subscribe to one for the low, low price of your entire paycheck every month until the heat death of the universe? But us crusty developers? We're clinging to our actual physical machines like they're the last lifeboats on the Titanic. You can pry my locally-owned PC from my cold, dead, carpal-tunnel-riddled hands! We didn't survive the transition from floppy disks to cloud storage just to become eternal renters of our own workstations. The audacity of thinking we'd give up root access to our own machines! Absolutely not, Jeff.

You Would Think PCMR Would Actually Try To Do Something About It

The most beautiful display of cognitive dissonance you'll ever witness. Everyone's SO enthusiastic about roasting Microsoft's legendary Windows updates that brick your system, the Blue Screen of Death family reunions, and Cortana's existential crisis. But the SECOND someone suggests actually switching to Linux or literally anything else? Crickets. Absolute radio silence. Tumbleweeds rolling through the auditorium. It's like complaining your ex is toxic while renewing your relationship subscription every month. The PC Master Race will write 47-page essays about how much they despise Microsoft's telemetry and forced updates, but when push comes to shove, nobody's ready to give up their precious game compatibility and Adobe suite. Stockholm syndrome has never looked so RGB-lit.
