@ai6yr I've seen a few professionals still use Windows XP/7 although not connected to the web, just to do their job. They know keyboard shortcuts of the programs they use, they work real damn fast with it, and most importantly it's what works for them.

Preferably I wish they'd try out a Linux distro and see if they can replicate their workflow there but yeah. I follow the rule of "don't fix what ain't broke."

#windowsxp #windows7 #linux

@FuturisticRobert @fuchsiii I think that's the fundamental unfixable problem of publicly traded corporations because they are legally mandated to maximize ROI for shareholders at an exponential rate they'll inevitably hit a ceiling.

• Even if that means they run out of humans and businesses that ain't already buying all their stuff and subscribing to everything.
  • This is why #Microsoft stopped caring about #consumers as they basically "owned" the #desktop with #WindowsXP and until they killed #Windows7 & #Windows10 any other OS was a *"statistical #RoundingError"...
    
  • All for #Linux to win is to not #enshittify at the same or faster pace than #Windows11...

Per contrast, #Valve (which is owned predominantly by #GabeN and only has marginal amounts of (non-traded!) stocks with it's employees) is also doing great without #enshittifiying #Steam.

• Mostly because #Steam can't afford to mistreat it's customers longterm, as being convenient for said users is what sets them apart from any other store...
  • The only reason they pivoted to Linux is because #GabeNewell realized the frontal attack #Windows8Bing and #Windows10S are on his company and that it's a horrible gamble to not assume #Windows trying to monopolize #Apps and #Games #distribution wouldn't cull Steam.
  • Not that they like #OpenSource, because their #BusinessModel is diametrically opposite by virtue of selling access to #CCSS. It's just that they know that Microsoft could otherwise choke them to death so fast and brutal that they'd end up bankrupt faster than #Gawker when #PeterThiel decided to literally "sue them into bankrupcy"...

Which makes Gaben propably the only publicly known #billionaire that isn't hated.

• Or maybe it's his and thus Valve's #AntiAI - Stance that #Gamers love...

@mrmasterkeyboard generally, #StanLePard made some legendary tune that sounds good at any speed and tuning...
