rindolf | ConceptThoughts: did you know that Microsoft is the organisation with the most open source pull-requests on GitHub? They appear to be taking open source seriously. |
password2 | rindolf, seriously? |
velco | password2, https://octoverse.github.com/ |
rindolf | password2: see https://octoverse.github.com/ |
password2 | wow |
password2 | soon geeks will need to find new reasons to hate MS |
rindolf | password2: well, it's possible other companies have more open source code, but MS Received the most pull-reqs. |
password2 | well just that they are showing up on the radar is already amazing |
rindolf | password2: heh, I'm trying not to expend too much energy hating companies. |
password2 | rindolf, if only more people were like you |
rindolf | password2: or people for that matter. |
rindolf | password2: heh. |
password2 | many many people simply use Linux because they dislike Microsoft |
password2 | And defining yourself by what you hate is a slippery slope |
rindolf | password2: well, I use Linux because I like it better, and feel more productive in it, and because Windows Update is hatefully (!) slow. |
rindolf | password2: see http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/bits/facts/Windows-Update/ |
password2 | yeah , I've read that |
password2 | :D |
password2 | i just disable my windows update |
rindolf | password2: heh. |
password2 | solves 99% of my issues |
rindolf | password2: you got 1 problem but Windows Update ain't 99 of them. |
njcomsec | i hate windows update |
password2 | why? |
njcomsec | seems to break stuff |
Rounin | It's recently caused people to miss out on large parts of their exams |
njcomsec | at least on my computer |
Rounin | Since they were answering them on Windows computers |
njcomsec | but it might also be something to do with acer and McAfee |
Rounin | That of course decided to reboot for 1,5 hours during the exams |
njcomsec | though the windows update is definitely the catalyst |
rindolf | Rounin: "Windows Update ate my homework!" |
Rounin | rindolf: Brrr! |
password2 | Rounin, Well |
password2 | one would wonder why the people would set the settings on those pc to auto update |
password2 | i blame the people using it |
Rounin | password2: They wouldn't... Windows set those settings |
password2 | Rounin, you can change them |
Rounin | password2: That's not what we're discussing |
njcomsec | i believe windows updates are forced with win 10 |
password2 | why not? |
Rounin | password2: If someone robs you, you can also choose to get shot if you so desire |
Rounin | That doesn't mean it's your choice to get robbed |
njcomsec | you can disable them but i think it can cause problems |
password2 | its seems like a cheap shot at windows |
password2 | yeah |
Rounin | No, it doesn't |
Rounin | It doesn't seem like that at all |
password2 | but no one was hurt |
password2 | and no one plans on being robbed |
Rounin | No one plans on having their exam ruined by Windows Update either, as far as I know |
password2 | idk why you bothered with that comparison |
rindolf | For the life of me I cannot understand why Windows Update takes a while to do its thing *before* the system shutdown. |
password2 | rindolf idk |
password2 | BTW Rounin if you want to blame default setting on windows , you apparently have very little experience with Linux |
password2 | because that's like half the trouble with Linux |
Rounin | password2: That's not true either... I don't apparently have very little experience with Linux |
