      William Gates retired, MicroShaft is now headed by Satya Nadella, who is apparently some fuckwit that’s out of touch with humanity.

        i do know that, Bill wasn’t innocent either. I do like quite a bit of what he’s doing, but back in the day that was a ruthless motherfucker.

          You are aware that communism ≠ capitalism ≠ dictatorship right?

          People (often brainwashed US citizens) throw that communism word around as if it’s somehow bad.

          You need to escort it through a very large minefield to designated spot or it will explode obliterating everything.

        That shit was the final straw for me…

        I was spending so much time trying to fight it to stop doing weird shit that learning Linux was easier path forward.

    1. First you pay money to Canonical, and then you load the disc into the PC.
    2. Animal noises and bongo drums play for some reason and you’re presented with an orange game menu.
    3. You click on one of the squares stacked clumsily on the left and nothing happens.
    4. You click it again and it drags with your mouse up the hierarchy.
    5. Finally, it lets go and a big white square fills the screen, knocking you off your chair.
    6. A popup window spawns from an empty corner and informs you that there are 25 packages that can be updated.
    7. Daunted by the unending onslaught, you curl up into a ball and weep

      Microsoft Windows ME is the Battletoads of operating systems.

      The final boss is acknowledging the hubris of believing you could ever win.

        That final boss is easy. Just do Ctrl+Alt+Del, and then start killing all processes one-by-one until you get the blue screen of victory

    It would be General Failure reading the disc. I would fsck him up, and replace disc if necessary.

    Yes, I know those may be different oses, but I was thinking multiplatform

    BTRFS deciding it’s corrupt and refusing even read only access.

    Edit: You beat it by trashing the disk, using any other file system, restoring from backup and accepting any losses.
