  • Yeah I only use windows at work now, ditched it at home. The start menu takes over a minute to open, and then when it does it ignores clicks for another minute.

    Then whenever I want to run outlook I have to search because the start menu doesnt let me set favourites. And I have to wait when I type in Outlook because the first search brings the crappy built in version of outlook (which I have clicked on more than once to be immensely frustrated to see it open) and then wait until “Outlook (classic)” appears and click that.

    I discovered some of my less technically able colleagues gave up on Outlook because they assumed it wasn’t installed and use the web interface instead. And that is just one of numerous daily frustrations I get with Windows.

    Honestly, Windows is now a big steaming pile of crap. All my home devices are on Linux, and I only use Windows at work because I have no choice.




  • Unlikely, it remaina a reportable disease in the UK. We’re about 1/6 the population of the US yet we’re not getting 1/6 of the deaths. Most of Europe will also closely monitor covid deaths and the population of europe as a whole is over twice that of the USA.

    I suspect one reason more people are dying in the US is because more people.refused to get vaccinated during the pandemic? And if those people are disproportionatelt more elderly (because elderly people tend to be more conaervative) then they are also more vulnderable to dying from covid when they get it.
