[sorry for the text wall]

since windows 8, microsoft has had this stupid pattern where they shove whatever they decide is the “next big thing” down people’s throats.

then they realize it’s not actually the next big thing, so they get rid of it, and then they find something even more useless to obsess over for the next release.

with windows 8, they thought tablet computers were going to become the new thing, so they designed an os that only works somewhat well on tablet computers, completely ignoring the millions of people with traditional desktops.

thankfully, enough people complained it was clunky, so they “fixed it” in windows 10…

with windows 10, they added cortana, which next to nobody used because nobody wants to talk to a computer when they could do the same thing much faster by themselves instead.

thankfully, enough people complained about it, and it was slowly phased out…

…and now that windows 11 is out, they’ve assumed that just because chatgpt exists, that means that people want what cortana was trying to do back then.

but come on, even an idiot should know that nobody wants 20 different buttons to access copilot.

can people please just… switch to another operating system?

thanks for coming to my kiwi talk
