Oh my fucking God this is true

Their defense was this: https://twitter.com/cryptoland/status/1480191582909440005

"Our twitter is run by several people and not all of them are native english speakers."

What was the supposed interpretation then??? Like, I have heard some painful stories from non-native english speakers about mixups, but this just sounds like bullshit. You'd think they'd be quick to state specifically what the mistake was if that is the excuse they go with.

God it was so bad. WSL and WSL2 are Microsoft's desparate attempts to court developers who realize how much better Linux and Mac are for developing anything, but instead it just gives people the impression "Ubuntu sucks and is slow" which is probably just as good.

Maybe 2022 will be the year of WSL

Windows 10 was really neat because in 2016 it was FINALLY catching up to Linux DEs, with things like multiple desktops and whatnot.

There is a tool called Disable Windows Tracking (DWT) here: https://github.com/bitlog2/DisableWinTracking

This is a fork and idk for sure if it's still considered trustworthy, but I use it. It will break a lot of things like the Xbox app though.

I don't recommend using Windows unless you absolutely need to. IME it does nothing better than my Linux distros except NTFS support and some software.

if you can, i highly recommend switching to linux. i'd recommend ubuntu or an ubuntu derivative

"year of the linux desktop" is a meme, and it's actually gotten harder to install on a lot of hardware, but videogames actually mostly work

i started using ubuntu from 10 years ago and man it's so much more enjoyable to be on ubuntu than on windows

i know "haha just get linux" is a meme but, like, windows 11 is still coming

Reply to does anyone actually want this "metaverse" stuff by ___

I've never used VR but it sounds fun. I've thought a lot about it for higher-level math education. Linear algebra, multivariable calculus, etc. could probably be partnered really well with 3D visualizations.

Just like Alessia, I also felt like I was missing something. I thought "metaverse" was going to be more of an augmented-reality thing, like Pokemon Go but with magic glasses.

Even worse, VR is expensive and the only accessible solution for most people (Oculus) is gatekeeped by Facebook. So I don't really want it no
