I’ve been on IRC long before the stone age (so to speak) and its neither dated nor dead.

Not everyone needs the fancy audio, video and imagery that new protocols provider for. Some of us are content with just text. And for me thats the great value of IRC.

I heard this, in a trump voice, in my head 😂

I’m a member of several Windows forums… there’s just as much complaining there :-)

And like with Microsoft products, ALWAYS wait untill at least the .1 release.

Because they are so restricted ;-) since i moved my whole family onto it, i cut support time by 90%.

Thats because a lot of users dont really want to use Windows, or the computer in general. They use it, because they have to.

For the same reason, i would never know what to do when my car breaks down. Sure i can look under the hood and do this and that. But its not my area of expertise, and its not something im interested in.

I’m a sysadmin, i know almost everything about powershell and then some. That doesnt mean my users do though. For them, a computer is a magical black box thats supposed to “just work” by clicking here and there. Just like a car is to me :)

Yes, you can. But a lot of Windows users dont even know what powershell is.

And personally i think you shouldnt have to jump through hoops for what i consider basic functionality. They also make it near impossible to install Windows 11 new without having to resort to all kind of tricks to create a local account. Its a shitshow.

In my humble opinion :)

knock knock knock in the middle of the nicht because i forgot to turn off my speakers, and the whole household would wake up 😂

Oh wauw! I think ICQ 98b was the best version ever! Then everyone switched to MSN, and down hill went the internet (for me anyway)

I used it for the mac. It was cheaper then buying each new version as a standalone of several software items i used. I can see it work for the iphone as well. You may not need that many apps, but if there are 3 or 4 apps someone uses regulary that are expensive to buy, it can be easier (and like i said, in some cases cheaper) to buy a subscription.

Worry not, im not into conspiracy theories, and i couldnt care less about informing others, mis or not mis.

Well, that explains. Amd here i was thinking i was banned again for telling the truth 😂

On what is that opinion based? Curiously genuine question

Well, i suppose we can use the internet on them, what more should we want :-)

Those where the days! <3

Fax machines everywhere! :-)
