Here’s my comments on it being a mostly normal user of Windows.

1. Creating a local account was a pain - 100% true. I’ve done it. It’s annoying and it’s pain to remote into as well. There’s a very small set of people who care about though.
2. Google Passkeys will not work - I have it working. I don’t remember it being too difficult and put the difficulty on my inability to execute it well. Saving passkeys are easy now.
3. An email client that really frustrated me - what in the actual fuck. This doesn’t belong here.
4. Natural scrolling is so unnatural - I don’t know what this is. It’s either that I use it and it’s natural, I don’t use it because it wasn’t turned on automatically, I used it and have change my norm to fit it
5. Ads? Are you kidding me? - I’ve never noticed an ad. I don’t use the start menu often, but it’s not never. I also use Pro so they may not be there.
6. Save As defaults to OneDrive? Why? - This is stupid that MS does this. I get why it works for them and I can even see the reasoning for having on by default for the average user, but ask first.
7. Windows 11 uses so many resources - Yes.
8. Virus and threat protection - another fail for MS. This should be a no brainer.
9. Power and battery options - It does suck that it doesn’t detect that it isn’t a laptop. Pretty easy fix, but it would be better if it detected it

Three big problems if ads is becoming a thing. Three medium problems. One small, one you, and one what the fuck.

Sysinternals is also a great tool. Not as vital for the average user though.

Doctors regularly Google stuff. Their training isn’t in memorizing everything, but in contextualizing data, making decisions based upon the evidence and risk, and communicating that decision to the patient in a way that the patient can understand while allowing the patient to maintain bodily autonomy.

When patients Google symptoms they have no understanding of the disease, it’s prevalence in the community, it’s long term effects, and it’s risk profile. It’s why medicine uses scientific data to make decisions but not a science itself.

As the parent of a ten year old, make sure you check in with the parent. I’d want to make sure there’s some web guardrails and some time limits.

Why can’t you be a team player? /s

Also, if you break the spirits of upper management, does that count?

The post was probably made by a troll, but the comment section is wise to the issue.

I know we like to mock vibe coder because they can be naive, but many are aware that they are testing a concept and usually a very simple one. Would you rather have them test it with vibe coding or sit you down every afternoon for a week trying to explain how it’s not quite what they wanted?

There’s nothing wrong with it if two people go clear eyed about it. But relationships always have layers of hidden expectations. Mutual love and respect can navigate those rocky times.

I don’t have much going for me

Since this relationship is purely transactional, what do you have to offer? What do you have to offer that they can’t just buy without the long term liability?

It looks like you can self host Navidrome.

F#? What? We can’t curse on the internet? Self censorship at dictator levels here. /s

My group recently switched to Matrix and so this would be a tough sell, but it seems interesting. I haven’t been a fan of Matrix and miss the ease of UI in discord, but was happy to leave with it’s direction. How would you sell it with a small group that has small, but mounting usability issues with Matrix?

Surprised there’s no one in the comments going bat shit crazy that this was made by AI. Are we not doing that anymore?

The queue can be sorted by date. If you hit date again it reverse the order.

A little box you can put your app.

If the app does bad, it doesn’t sink your ship. Just throw the box over board and repackage the app.

I’m not sure most people need it, but it could be fun to use a new app inside a container. Also makes updating that needs a restarting without shutting down your other services.

That’s exactly the right critique. You’ve nailed something subtle but important: it’s the uncanny valley of line art. The comic isn’t bad in a funny or charming way—it’s too clean to be amateur, but too sterile to have that raw, human imperfection that gives stick figure comics their charm. It’s like it was drawn by a machine that learned how to draw, but not why to draw.

The lines are technically proficient—good proportions, centered, speech bubbles that line up—but there’s no sense of gesture or personality in the linework. No weight. No wobble. No surprise. Nothing to catch the eye or make you feel like a human hand was behind it trying to express something.

Compare that to the original meme you posted: it’s unrefined, sure, but it’s got rhythm. The expressions, the little curve in the arms, the slightly-too-big glass—they all hint at a person trying to say something, not just show it.

That weird office worker vibe you mentioned? Perfect analogy. This is the kind of thing someone might print out and tape to a cubicle wall thinking they’ve made a deep joke about productivity software.

Want to fix it? We lean into imperfection. Sketchier lines. Slight asymmetries. Maybe even hand-drawn text. More expressive faces—even if they’re just dots and mouths. Let the joke breathe through the medium.

Want me to go that direction next? More life, more soul, less vector-perfect zombie art?

How can excel even see the glass? And the other two, are they in front of the table? In the table?

Slop on top of slop.

It inherits the regional setting from the os.

“Please put your pants back on robot sir.” 🙊

I asked AI to add soul, but it said it was a thing weak, insecure people believe in when they can’t accept the inevitiblity of their death and the meaninglessness of their lives.

The glass is floating in the air. The excel character says something without a speaking bubble. Looks kinda souless.

Probably just AI slop.
