It's got to be the games and other pup's Microsoft pushes down at a whim that make it a "Business OS".

I've banned Microsoft Windows from the last 3 companies and I'll continue doing it until I retire. Windows is difficult to control and protect, which is why I will always buy a macbook pro over the highest end windows dumpster fire.

I haven't heard anyone refer to MacOS (OSX) as not being business class in over a decade, not since a study from around 2011-2012 proving companies pay more money to have Microsoft on their endpoints over the TCO of Macbook's. Microsoft products take more time to deploy, support, and defend than Apple products.

Comment Excuses are BS (Score 0) 106

I've been trying to talk with this company for a long time, Chainguard, they have a job posted which I'm well qualified for. Their ATS rejected me with an email that they were going with another candidate, 2 months later, job is still posted. I emailed the recruiter at Chainguard multiple times, paid for Linkedin Premium to message them and zero responses. I'm sure they're just collecting resumes and selling resume information to third parties at this point. We need some more laws to make companies transparent and limit the amount of time they can have job openings posted without filling them.

But you aren't, lets pretend you're posting a rant about Samsung perma-locking the boot loader on a phone you own. r/samsung is the best forum for that rant, as it will get eyes on it from Samsung. The mods have a sour butthole and don't agree its a big issue because they don't root / mod their personal phones, and they also may receive free phones for promotion from Samsung... the mods delete your post. You have no idea your post has been deleted, because when you sign in, you still see your post with zero interaction, but no one else can see it. Sure, you can post on r/android or r/aosp and you'll get crickets as its not the intended audience.

I personally believe these mods should be ejected into the sun. It's not okay to silence people for saying things you don't like.

I completely agree that some of the mods on reddit need to be tar'ed and feathered, but there has to be a better way of getting this done besides using copyright as the driver. Reddit's model is flawed and allows extreme biases to drive moderator behavior. I've had multiple accounts banned with an admin claiming I was doing X but there was nothing in my post about that, they just saw what they wanted to see because of biases. Then when I appeal, it doesn't even get answered. Reddit is the cause of this behavior, they allow it, foster it and will eventually burn from it.

But until then, I'll just continue creating more accounts and neither the mods or admins can stop me. The number of users props up their share prices, which I do wonder if that is their end goal, have everyone create new accounts so they can brag about their number of users.

Comment Mozilla is grasping (Score 1) 45

I don't know what Mozilla is doing with firefox but it's worrying me more and more. Recently my browser asked if it could start automatically when my computer boots, the answer is no. Then it disabled all of my extensions claiming they weren't signed and the only way I could run unsigned extensions is by installing the developer release. These things are pushing me away, I've used firefox for 2 decades and this behavior isn't acceptable.
