Windows obsession with destroying their own file explorer is bizarre.
The thing is that if MS concentrated on providing a bulletproof experience, a sane licensing mode, with a low, cheap, entry bar, they would just keep being the top dog forever.
Now they are just giving market share to Linux and MacOS for free.
This is just pure idiocy and desperation at this point.
I’m surprised at this. If I was given the job to fuck up windows, I wouldn’t be able to get such ludicrous ideas
Install Linux Problem Solved.
Ah, that would explain why they started to allow uninstalling the separate app.
For those stuck on Windows, try double commander instead of explorer. It’s cross-platform so you could use it on Linux too.
I’ve been on Directory Opus for many years, it’s absolutely excellent and I struggle when on Linux without the same toolbox.
Nadella has gives exactly 0 fucks about Microsoft’s products, legacy, its employees and the company itself, let alone the customers. His only concern is how can he squeeze more money from the white Dalits while enslaving Shudras and stealing their labour so he can further enrich himself. Anyone thinking otherwise is delusional.
Well just earlier today, I installed Pop OS on an external drive. I’ll be using that to see if I can use it as a daily driver. If I can, microsoft can eat the entirety of my arse.
MS: JUST EAT IT
Genuine question. How does all of this useless nonsense make them money? Is it all just from loans? Are they just saying “look at all the AI we’re doing” and the investors are just desperate to give them more money?
I just cannot fathom how they profit from all of this. They’re spending so much time doing this. For what? What is the business motive for doing this, if not to get bigger loans from their investors?
Copilot is falling very far behind all of the other big AI players in the space that it’s actually laughable. The main reason they’re implementing it into every Windows first party application is so they can boost their “user” numbers to satisfy investors. Every time you open Explorer, boom that counts as you “using” Copilot.
I asked DeepSeek something the other day and it actually admitted that it didn’t know the answer and offered advice on how I could find out. I was actually pretty impressed by that
Is the share price going up? All they care about is the share price.
Down last few months, but overall strong upwards trend over the last few years.
Nadella’s buddies are all making AI garbage, so he thinks he has to make AI garbage too. Because he’s massively uncreative.
And so all the managing leads think “Nadella likes AI! I must find a way to shove AI into my product so that my product/fiefdom doesn’t get the axe! I might even get a bonus! Or promotion!!!”
And so all the coding slaves are tasked with shoehorning AI into every Microsoft product, app, and/or service.

“Kaboom?”
“Yes Rico, kaboom!”

I just got a colonoscopy and the doc said she found some copilot in there
Terminal
Powershell, acktually
It makes sense for it to be there
Eww
Only if it’s more than a yard deep.
I can already see them brainstorming how to put that stuff in the calculator app.
At least, they don’t put it into the event viewer, because its source code has never seen a change. Looks like 10 years ago and the performance is as bad as then.
