I’m fairly sure Microsoft is actively trying to screw Firefox. Outlook has always sucked in Firefox, teams is a shit show. When you use a useragent switcher somehow a lot of features seem to work magically in Firefox (which tells me MS is doing this on purpose).

For Outlook (exchange) I use Thunderbird with a paid plug-in (to make the 2FA stuff work). It’s pretty cheap and totally worth it for me at least.

Keep running it for a while and after some time 5 or 10 years you will struggle when people ask you about (basic) Windows stuff.

A while ago I came to the conclusion that a Casio G-Shock is the best watch. They don’t have to be expensive, a good one will sync the time multiple times a day, so it’s always accurate. A good one also has small solar panels in the watch face, so the battery will never be empty, and all of them are really build to last.

From a pure functional perspective I think it’s the best watch ever made. It basically tells you the correct time, always.

Actually doesn’t even matter, but you will cook for 24 people instead of 4.

Exactly, if you are as big a Microsoft, you can’t tell 100% if one of your developer’s is actually being paid by a foreign government. Even if you say completely check the commits other devs make, there will still be deadlines when a code review is just “looks fine, next”.

Ugh this reminds me of a guy I worked with, he used to be a trucker but became a software tester (he was also very religious).

Anyway he used to hate on open source software and call it open sores. According to him it was all amateur crap. Ugh I still hate that guy and it has been 15 years…

I accidentally killed a mouse, sorry little guy I understand my shoe smelled like cheese…

Actual first was I think knopix or whatever it was called. My friend had a bootable floppy and we booted it on a school computer.

First real daily use was Ubuntu somewhere around 2006.

This is why most modern lids use a soft close system.

I don’t know about the windows stuff, haven’t used it in years. But back in the day installing Ubuntu was super easy (just boot from USB stick and install and mostly everything works). But a fresh windows install was a real pain like downloading drivers for all your hardware etc.

Nowadays it’s pretty easy in both cases I guess.

Bedankt ik kende de term niet, maar blijkbaar ben ik (in Nederland) in de meerderheid

In onderzoek van het Centrum voor Leesonderzoek uit 2013 werd “dokteres” herkend door: 42 % van de Nederlanders; 85 % van de Vlamingen.[1]

I’m dutch and didn’t even know this was a thing, is it something that is common in Belgium?

Is “dokter” even a male word? What’s the female version “dokterin”,“dokteres”?

Am I the only one that just did

Loves computers -> got an engineering degree -> had coworkers I looked up to all using Linux -> started using it myself -> wife and kids

This is just the lastest thing, it used to be the old IT guys and the ones with a beard, long hair and a metal shirt.
