    This is insanely good and mimics my personal experience of Windows these days. I literally say "pop-up! pop-up! pop-up!" out loud during a normal workday where one pop-up or prompt is rapidly replaced by another. Same app or different, doesn't matter, there's always something trying to grab attention on a Windows desktop unless you configure the hell out of it (and even that is no longer enough).

    My favorite "joke" from this site:

    > Scan complete: 1 threat found — ChromeSetup.exe

    FWIW, I switched to Fedora in January and have no plans to look back. Only $dayjob relies on Windows anymore.

      It's soul destroying going from personal computer Linux (been figuring out the distro for me) to Windows for work.

      Even worse they use Office 365 with sharepoint, they've even turned off web search somehow on copilot and can only search internal servicenow and SharePoint pages making it worse.

      Things are pretty dire.

      Anybody hiring who uses Google workspace and (preferably) Linux or MacOS let me know.

        Lmfao. What are they even doing with Copilot? Paying for premium and then handicapping it because they think that being able to search online sources might exfiltrate your sharepoint data? That is not at all how that works.
