Microslop creates a system where lazy dumb-fucks don't have

Microsoft succeeds (but their system can only match the lazy

wtf?
Nearly all Linux distros aim for that same goal.
Even if he were correct, those three paragraphs highlight the
retardation he seems to have been born with. "Microsoft develops
software where the user doesn't have to do anything! This is somehow
terrible because it will save people time and headaches!"
Pay close attention and you'll see the fuckhead uses GUI stuff
frequently. In yesterday's Feeb vid, he was so proud of his
floating/cascading menu that gave him quick access to apps, so he didn't
have to open a terminal and remember and type the commands to launch them.
With GNU/Linux one has to lift many fingers -- and hands, arms,
legs, and feet. With GNU/Linux the system is a magnificent
choreography of parts that must be deftly orchestrated.
One does NOT have to work hard to install and run Linux.
When it invariably fucks up is when the fun begins - and this is true
for Windows as well.
And fuck up it will, when you least expect it and doing something that
is exceptionally trivial.
Yesterday I was prepping a 12-year-old Dell Inspiron 660 to give to
somebody. It had no hard drive, so I put Win7 on an old HDD. Mistake -
that thing grinded and grinded and grinded.
With the HDD, it was literally a 2-hour process to check for updates and install them (112). After that ordeal I remembered I had an older SSD
(duh!), so I put it in as the boot drive C: and moved the HDD as the
data drive D:. Installing Win7 onto the SSD from a USB key was about 10 minutes. Nice. And it made a huge difference - that old 6GB RAM
computer running Win7 is about as fast as my 10-year-newer AMD system
running Win10 on 16GB. No exaggeration. Didn't run the 112 updates
again, but I'm sure it would take half the time.
I might even revert back to Win7 for a while and see how I like it as a
daily driver. It's long ago unsupported, and it may be a pain to find
newer software for it, but I always liked it.
The biggest joke/snafu I ran into yesterday was due to MS and Windows.
The 'Media Creation Tool' wouldn't run on Win7, apparently due to TLS versioning issues. MS made an 'Easy Fix' (LMAO) available - that didn't
work. Other suggestions I found online were Registry editing, enabling services, and running as Admin. I couldn't get any of it to work - big
waste of time just to download an .iso from the MS website.
MS gets in your way sometimes, no doubt about that.
The lazy dumb-fucks can only say: Duh? Huh? Wha?
If you had the GuhNoo balls you claim to have, you wouldn't run to the
Python-based Portage to administer your Gentoo crapbox. But since
you're a "lazy dumb-fuck" you type a couple short commands and it does
everything for you. Then you come to cola and whine that others are
lazy.
What an asshole.
Larry Pietraskiewicz is a lazy asshole because instead of developing
software using only 0s and 1s, he uses a programming language. What a
fucking clown!
Exactly! The lout is definitely a "rules for thee but not for me" kind
of double-talker.
