#686225 — Microsoft just put this controversial Notepad feature behind a paywall

https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/microsoft-just-put-this-controversial-notepad-feature-behind-a-paywall


You have to be kidding me.  This is what dumbasses running Win11 are
paying good money to obtain?  And Linux is *free*?  How is that
reality, where the free product is the only one worth using?  What era
is this, FFS?  Fuck M$ and Apple too, their hardware is overpriced but
required to use their OS.  Linux is the only option, for someone with
sanity.

No, I did the correct thing, this article and my commentary was
relevant to Windows 11 and to Linux advocacy, you can take your wise-
ass attitude out the door.

You did not do the right thing. I use linux myself. There is no need to 
denigrate those who use other operating systems. Your response was 
childish and conceited.

Not really, no.  Winblows 11 really does demand too much hardware, in
realistic terms.  M$ just throws every ounce of everything into their
platform, to where you can't even keep pace with the increasing
demands, it's farcical.  Linux is what people should be using.

Linux can barely get wake from suspend to work and in many cases, even 
shutting down the computer takes forever because nvidia instances refuse 
to stop. Not everyone has the patience to suffer through it. If they 
aren't using nvidia, Linux is pretty good. Otherwise, it's a nightmare.

My video is NVIDIA, but I just lock the screen or fully shut down the
computer, so your problem doesn't bother me, but I hear you.

Well, when it comes to suspending/hibernating the system, Linux
doesn't have the magic of Windows, admittedly, but I don't really need
it, I can just lock the screen and let the computer run idly, or turn
it all the way off.

Admittedly, I don't need it either if I use the laptop at home. I also 
don't need it if I have my own classroom and don't need to share it with 
others, something that is the case this year (and going forward). Still, 
it's always bothersome when something which works _perfectly_ in one 
operating system is so stubbornly defective in another. It works quite 
well in Fedora though, but Fedora tends to break the NVIDIA drivers 
repeatedly, requiring a reinstall all the time.

Meanwhile you whine about Windows corrupting your system.

At the moment, I'd rather whine that it is corrupting itself yet 
properly shutting down, waking from sleep and playing all my games and 
movies instead than be annoyed that closing the lid will lead the 
machine into oblivion.

I’ve used Linux on a number of laptops, both old and new, 32-bit and 64-
bit. Never had such a problem on any of them.

I recall that Macbooks made around 2009-2014 ran particularly well with 
Linux installed. I had a nerdy student back then with a Mac and he 
showed me that the OS supported his device perfectly, with no 
compromises. However, newer Intel-based devices seem to have trouble 
with suspend and the audio. I guess I'll find out for myself when my 
2017 MacBook Air arrives later today.

That's nice, but the fact remains that there is a problem. I even looked 
at YouTube videos of people gleefully installing Linux on their outdated 
MacBooks and they show that not only will it not suspend or wake from 
suspend, but in some cases it simply shuts down the computer if you 
close the lid. Denying that there is a problem will not help anything.

Your implication was that the problem was somehow universal. It is not.

There's no particular advocacy in this group.

Neither do we come over and sell copies of Windows in COLA.

The feature in question is opt-in. You have to click something
to trigger it.

And if you really really really are such a dumb fuck as to
need this feature... it's available for FREE in the regular
CoPilot.

<Copilot session>

Can you rewrite the following text for me ?

Writing is often the most dreaded task when tackling a big project in Excel.
Whether summarizing data or presenting findings, it's hard to know where to
start or how to make your writing sound good. Luckily, if you use AI to
rewrite text, you can eliminate much of this stress. In this guide, we'll
go over the rewriting capabilities of AI and show you how it can help you
write better and faster when working with Excel. You’ll also see how you
can start with a pencil to rewrite text immediately with numerous prompts
and examples.

Certainly! Here's a revised version of the text:

<CoPilot> What do you think of this version?    (Thumbs up)

It can take advertising mush and make advertising mush from it. Amazing!
It even comes with a Ginsu knife.

What a time to be alive.

I have Copilot as a Web app, under Linux, I like M$'s spin on AI chat,
but the way Win11 integrates it is abominable.
