Welcome to today's world, where everything's made up and the words don't matter.

#microsoft

They've out-Apple'd Apple when it comes to keynote bullshit.
@petrikas Apple still maintains Darwin.
@petrikas at least with a Mac I can drop down into terminal and treat it as Un*x. M$ makes claims about posix but I’ve never found it to be much use to me.
@petrikas I'm committed to remaining the most handsome, talented, and charming human on the planet

@petrikas Open as in leaking your data, as in accessible to hackers or as in being a surveillance device for your usage?

Trying to make sense of it

@photovince yes. The answer to your question is yes.
@petrikas While they're at it, they should just claim it has the best search.
@petrikas It's written in big letters. It must be true!
@petrikas they meant to add "except for all the others" but the Powerpoint template didn't give them enough space
@petrikas 🤣
Orwel version 2024
@petrikas That's why the screen is so huge. With such a big screen, it must be true.
@petrikas Micro$oft will always be the gatekeeper.

@petrikas there's my daily dose of comedy!

"Most open"....

North Korea is more open than Windows

@filipefreire @petrikas Maybe „most open“ from a security point of view.
@filipefreire @petrikas
What Kim says… (seriously)
@petrikas I remember the early days of windows 95 and I'd say that had a strong claim to be the most open os ever - although maybe not in a useful sense of the word https://www.infoworld.com/article/2176957/worst-windows-flaws-of-the-past-decade-2.html

@petrikas
I suppose it one of those "war is peace" things
@petrikas was that in front of people?
can't imagine that they would dare to bring those screens to a room full of an echoing laughterfest
i mean, people could have died from that
@titusDeGroan @petrikas a room full of yes men probably.
Microsoft is the most open operating system and Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.

@petrikas
Closed is open

War is peace

[???]

Profit!

@petrikas they asked ChadGPT for words that mean "gaping".

@petrikas

Whatever Microsoft is smoking would be well worth selling separately.

What an utter load of total nonsense 🫤🤦‍♂️

@simonzerafa
selling separately? You may apply after your 30th year of your Office365 Premium subscription!
@petrikas

@petrikas do u think the presentation was prepared or generated by their hallucination algo on the fly?

i only ask because it looks like copilor stole that from #gplv3 licensed work. #microshaft #getOffgithub

@petrikas that screen looks great though, good job on that. Always liked MS's hardware
@petrikas I actually *like* Windows and even I think these claims are utterly ridiculous. they've completely lost the plot.

@gsuberland I liked win98 and winXP...
I don't hate-hate W11, but I'm not a fan either. I dislike all the bullshit-generator stuff they're pushing, but usual de-bloating works so far.

If we were living in an advanced society, I'd choose macOS any second over W11.

@petrikas yeah, Windows as an OS is fine, but Windows as a delivery mechanism for the fruits of Microsoft's descent into madness is deeply annoying.

@gsuberland
No it's just the paradigm, we are the empire, who will dare to tell that we are lying if we simply create a different reality here at MS marketing?

The #GOP is highly successful with this on politics, why not in business?

Remember, MS in the good old days was a master in using vapor ware to kill competitors without having even a competing product ready.
@petrikas

@gsuberland
Nope, remember MS had a number of tiny issues, eg with security in the past year.

So much that they promised to focus on security.

So now, they are delivering. In the New Empire style, called "alternative reality".

Who will dare to call us out that we are literally lying?

And ignore any kids with penguin shirts shouting that the emperor is naked.

@petrikas

@petrikas #MSFS2024 The paragon of release engineering
@petrikas
It's a jedi mind trick, it only works on the feebleminded...
@petrikas Keep reaching for the stars, Microsoft! You can get there if you just buckle down and tug those bootstraps.
@petrikas
I want to think a troll with an AI image generator made this but unfortunately I lean towards artisanally made, lovingly hand crafted, authentic human bullshit.
@petrikas yet somehow if i want to teach an OS course (and i have), i end up teaching Un*x or Linux internals. it has to do with having full access to the source code or something.
@petrikas *most open for advertisers.
@petrikas well it actually is most open - to vulnerbilities
@petrikas la prison, c'est la liberté
@petrikas It would be such an horrendous move to modify those text lines :)
@petrikas if you consider windows to be the only operating system, this is all true
@petrikas Pure bullshit from Microsoft. I'm sure that the headlines are made by the AI.
@petrikas The best joke of the year IMO !
@petrikas source please?

@petrikas That's quite an ungood presentation

#orwell #1984

@petrikas They are doing a Steve Jobs. That's what we get for letting con men run tech. Death of words by a thousand cuts.
@petrikas making these more accurate
The most corporate operating system.
Most monopolistic and insecure platform.
Committed to squeezing maximum profits from users and bandwagon trends at the expense of reliability and security.
@petrikas The line should read "Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia"
@petrikas new meme template dropped
@petrikas I think the first one is comparing themselves to macOS but the rest must be to OS/2??
