I don’t think i need to explain how it works, should i ?

This meme makes a lot more sense if you don’t cover up the faces
good thing we are all memelords who know this format by heart
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.
Still Beans face is 99% of the reason for even using the meme. Without it the image just looks like two people sitting side by side instead of the cheating.
I’m not familiar with the meme, and it’s still obvious one is copying the other. Although, it does make it look like Linux copying Windows rather than the path that reality took.
I don’t, but I’ve seen the sauce and remember it.
Yeah you have to already know that one person is obviously looking over at the others answers.
Ah, so that’s how it makes sense!
Excuse me? This is Mr. Bean, not just some person

Ah MacOS, don’t forget they’re continuing to neuter root/sudo
probably for some future goal of a walled garden desktop/laptop 🤮for “privacy and security”Apple may introduce it again, but not before they get some trademark word for it like “Secure Ascension™”.
fyi the NeXT OS is called NeXTSTEP.

To be honest, the first incarnation of Spaces was really damn good; they deserved some credit for that. Then they made it worse so it matches iOS.

Tabs in the file manager

Straight up using the KDE motto
Oh that second one has me in flames man

Are they actually naming the command “sudo” or is that just a comparison?
Edit: apparently yes, the audacity lol
Looks like they didn’t even tried to hide it : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/sudo/
The sudo command offers a way to quickly elevate a command as administrator from your current unelevated command line context and is familiar to some users coming from other operating systems.
From any other operating system
TempleOS doesn’t have sudo, you just need to pray for a divine intervention.
You don’t need sudo, everything is already in Ring 0 as God intended.
Should have called it addo
Or ditto
Yes
What’s wrong with giving a command the same name as the equivalent command from other operating systems?
That would be like calling the lynx command InternetExplorer
To me lynx is an application, whereas sudo is part of the OS, just like cp or cat. I know Linux sudo is maintained separately, but it’s part of what is expect in even the most minimal install of any Unix-like OS.
Okay…
Don’t forget all the UI/UX they’ve been copying from KDE. Working at Microsoft must be such an easy job when the open source community does all your work for you.
A problem I have with the GPL is it allows corporations and shareholders to use software for free. I would be interested in licensing software I make for commercial use by sole proprietors and other small businesses for free, but charge truly offensive prices to entities that have “investors.” Like, Bob’s wood shop, where Bob, his son Rob, and Rob’s friend from high school Jimmy make butcher block counter tops? They can use my software for free. Microsoft? $600 trillion per seat per minute.
How exactly do you want it? Publicly traded companiee can’t use it? That would affect small companies too, but being publicly tradable is more likely to make an evil company in the end. Companies over a certain valuation? That would have problems with interest and private companies like valve not having to tell people their valuation. Mix of both is probably best.
I would probably list out a series of symptoms of large businesses that don’t qualify for my non-corporate license.
- The company itself, its owners, executives, board members, employees or any other persons associated with the company has spent more than $100 on lobbying since the invention of the written word. To include a middle manager that worked for the company for 2 weeks, quit, and then later went on to become involved in lobbying.
- Any executive, board member, manager or such person currently or has ever had a contract that features any clauses that could be described as a “golden parachute.”
- The company has ever engaged in anti-union activity.
- The company has ever outsourced jobs overseas because labor in developing countries is cheaper. Hiring outside one’s home country seeking better expertise ie “We contracted with a German machine shop because the sample work they turned in was of better quality” is okay; “We only have to pay Vietnamese teenagers 40 cents a day” isn’t.
- The company publicly trades stock. That is to say random people mostly stock brokers and banks that don’t actually generate any value for society pays a little money and then expects dividents in perpetuity like ticks getting fat and bloated with the blood of higher life forms. These people may not financially benefit from my work more than I do.
- The highest paid person who is in any way on the payroll of the company is paid more than 20 times the lowest paid employee.
That’s probably a good start.
That’s a pretty good list. I would say for 1 and 4 it should be in the past 50 years, to allow for companies to change. I would also add that anything the parent company or a company owned by the parent company that violates these rules also counts. Also, what is a “golden parachute”
A “golden parachute” is basically a clause in the contract of a CEO or other higher up where the company agrees to pay severance benefits. I don’t have a problem with severance pay in general but some of these things are basically "No matter how much I embezzle and defraud, no matter how many people I kill, no matter how much damage I do, I get tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, to the degree of actually incentivizing getting hired and fired as much as possible.
That’s pretty stupid.
Exactly.
Not so easy. Look at how often they have to redo the startmenu.
Microsoft linux when?
Seriously. Yes.
If Microsoft doesn’t have a secret internal build of Windows that runs on a Linux Kernel, they’re out of their minds.
The Windows Kernel, as cool as it is, is 100% a cost center. If Microsoft switches (seemlessly) to a Linux kernel, no one would really notice. So at some point they should really switch it.
- they’ll have to opensource the code if they use linux kernel
- even with linux being vastly superior, it nice we have 3 major kernels with widely different approaches. it would be sad if either of these 3 dies out
- they’ll have to opensource the code if they use linux kernel
Only changes they would make to the kernel. There is no obligation to make an OS utilizing the linux kernel open source.
An oversight by the developers. Had they licensed it under the GNU GPL v3, such a thing would not be possible.
No, the GPLv3 changes nothing in this regard.
Legal question. If Windows on the linux kernal needs to open source, but that does not apply to other software it runs, right? So could they close source their DE and charge for that, or charge for the windows store?
That is correct. Microsoft could simply charge for their closed-source desktop environment or their package manager or their software environment in general, but any modifications to the kernel would need to be free and open-source (though they could still charge money for it).
thanks for the answer.
even with linux being vastly superior, it nice we have 3 major kernels with widely different approaches. it would be sad if either of these 3 dies out
Agreed. I do think at least a couple versions of the Windows NT kernel are going to live on forever in emulation, thanks to some pretty awesome games that require it.
If Microsoft switches (seemlessly) to a Linux kernel, no one would really notice.
Besides quite literally every piece of software breaking, sure.
Azure Linux exists
As far as I know, Azure runs on Linux
Some day, in cooperation with canonical and a nice KDE Theme
but seriously they should
Omg those quotes on the side lol
sudo rm -rf C:/The command has a smile
C:so you know its safe.actually, powershell also has aliases for unix-like commands, for example
rm. iirc you needrm -Forcethodeleted by creator
I’m glad they’re teaching they’re user base linux, will make transitioning easier
I think you’re misunderstanding their goal.
What parent is likely referencing
TBH I wonder if the current Microsoft is capable of executing that here. I don’t believe in a “changed” MS, but Linux is eating the world, and MS doesn’t really care about Windows much anymore. Azure happily runs Linux VMs
They can still take a stab at it 🤷. Why else would you actually add something like this… it makes no sense to me.
Maybe they’re slowly working toward making Windows work on the Linux kernel in order to offload maintenance costs to the open source community… 👽🛸
I can’t wait for their version to be totally broken compared to normal sudo on windows
Where?
Where is what?
They made fun of your grammar
Thanks, I corrected my mistake
I’ll take it.
Do they finally have an
lsin the default path, or do I still need to alias that?There’s an alias for it by default in PowerShell.
Better install LSD:
winget install --id=lsd-rs.lsd -e
don’t frogette about the new windows terminal
kinda sad tbh
Now get rid of those silly back slashes in paths, use bash as a non mentally deficient shell, change that sad kernel to Linux 6.8 and up, change your laughably sad NTFS to something sane, anything, even ext3 would do but take ext4, get rid of your ridiculous drive letters and instead of copying KDE, why don’t you just switch to KDE on X or Wayland?
Do all that and make it open and free, like all other actual operating systems and we’ll talk
I agree with everything but bash. Bash sucks I’m not going to lie, nearly anything else is better than bash
what’s wrong with bash?
It’s pretty archeic with it’s syntax. A lot of its features have come about through feature creep. I mean it does a good job but it’s just hard to work with and pretty cobbled together. It’s showing it’s age. If you’ve worked with any large bash scripts you’d understand how much of a pain it can be
Windows increasingly allows either slash for paths.
I read about this a couple of days ago, apparently some support was there since DOS 2.0.
That and .NET’s CLR, i think.
To drop a feature means to get rid of it. Words have meaning, guys
Drop can mean to release or to discontinue, some words have two meanings, which gets selected via context.
Confusingly enough to release can also mean to publish or to cut loose.
My favorite when reading sports news is “resign”.
It can mean that they quit or that they entered into a new contract.
Who knows anymore with these youngsters’ vernacular?
Hey I know it’s a week later, but I rarely log in to Lemmy.
If you read the headline, it could be interpreted either way. The only way to know the actual meaning is if you already knew what the article was about, but if I knew nothing about windows, I could easily assume that it had a feature called ‘sudo’ which is now being dropped.
Supporting this kind of behavior is how we ended up with the word ‘literally’ meaning both literally and figuratively. Source: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally
Words can have multiple meanings, but If a word means one thing, but also the opposite of that thing, it adds unnecessary confusion. Not saying there aren’t many other examples, but I think it’s something we should try to avoid.
