There’s something breathtakingly arrogant about that
- shiroiushi 2y ago>There’s something breathtakingly arrogant about that "Breathtakingly arrogant" is pretty much exactly what I would think of if someone asked me to describe Microsoft in 2 words.
- netruk44 2y agoAs someone who used to work at Microsoft, this is spot on. The sheer amount of arrogance coming from (some of) my peers who worked there was incredible. Microsoft decides for you how you would like to use your computer. If you don't agree, use Linux. Or Mac, but Apple is really no better than Microsoft with regard to arrogance.
- consteval 2y agoI'd say Apple is even more arrogant, but at least their software is arrogantly functional. Maybe I could look past this sleep nonsense if their super cool new sleep actually worked. But it just doesn't, instead it cooks your laptop 10% of the time and it you open it up and it's dead.
- DoingIsLearning 2y agoWords matter in this case. The fact that they are pushing S3 as "Linux Sleep" or "Legacy Sleep" and S0ix as "modern sleep" is absolutely not innocent from a marketing perspective. We ought to reverse Uno this non-sense. Perhaps the Linux Foundation and all the distro development teams out there should start calling S3 _True_Sleep_™ in all their official communication.

- Izkata 2y agoI swear I remember Microsoft adding "sleep" and calling it such in some version of Windows because "it's new and different from 'suspend'", then later other systems started using the term "sleep" instead of "suspend" without actually changing anything.
