Microsoft fired its entire QA team 10 years ago, and shifted the responsibility for testing onto developers. They also got rid of their dedicated hardware lab where software would be tested on many different hardware combinations.

That…makes SO much sense and explains a lot! Thanks for mentioning it.

Mine, too!

Holy cow, that’s neat as hell! Thanks for sharing!

Poor guy. My heart breaks for him. I hope people are understanding, compassionate, empathetic, and aren’t hateful and harrassing towards him about it, but, realistically… they likely will be hateful and harrass the poor dude, because some people are just sucky, entitled, and rude little jackasses (and I hate it so much and I don’t understand why people behave this way!) I hope he can find a way to handle it all okay. :(

How cute and fun! I love it. Thank you for the screenshot and explanation!

Welp, now I’m gonna have that song stuck in my head! At least it’s a song I really like :)

I love this setup! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Damn. Poor guy! He didn’t deserve any of that. I hope this whole shit show results in positive changes and better documentation, but I don’t have high hopes, unfortunately. I hope Sascha is doing okay. Thank you for sharing this great article here!

That’s a really great article, thank you for the link! That was informative and educational and I am a fan.

Although I don’t have any direct experience with any of this, I deny your lived experience of not having that problem - I think you’re a lying liar and that thing you like is bad.

I’ve definitely noticed it bugs some people. I wonder if those people maybe just don’t understand why it’s happening, combined with it looking silly on Lemmy when you don’t know why it’s happening? That it autopopulates just like it does on Mastodon and did on Twitter, like you said. Although, I definitely remember people getting annoyed with it on Twitter, too, lol. Anywho, you’re not hurting anybody, but it’s kind of you to offer to stop if it’s bugging them. :) Maybe a PSA about it, why it happens, and why people leave the tags in their replies, posted to a lot of different communities/magazines/topics would help?

That is exactly my story, too! I’m glad we both found our way here like that. Fun stuff :)

The people trying to help you that you’re being so rude to are not the software you’re upset with. You shouldn’t be taking it out on others; especially not people being kind to you and just trying to help you. (Extra especially considering Beehaw’s whole thing is to ‘bee nice!’)

Oooh, neat! I hadn’t heard of that. Thank you so much for sharing this! I look forward to trying it out. Exciting!!

I didn’t know about the fmhy domain being seized. That explains why I haven’t seen them around! That sucks. :(

Awesome, thank you!
