Fuck Micro$oft

whatever

Or don't fuck Microsoft? Microsoft might like that too much and that's not ok.

Sodomize Microsoft. That they won't like.

You never know.

I will say that the only thing keeping me on Windows, except for work IT, is games. It looks like Valve is shifting the needle back toward game releases for Linux, so I may be able to completely dump MS at home. For casual computing, I already have a MacBook Air and love it.

I use macbook for work and music but honestly something about how windows works as a desktop environment....

And yeah much gaming for me. I have a linux box in my living room I'm going to try to see if I can turn into a steam box to try out linux gaming on the TV, but for sure I need much more compatibility. I'm an eve nerd at this point and that'll never be a linux game.

I wish linux had more support from the gaming community. It's just better if we don't all pay this conglomerate for an OS.

Eve used to be supported on Mac and there definitely were people playing on Linux

Team,

The recent workforce rationalization was a necessary Q3 strategic realignment to optimize our human capital expenditure and pivot towards a more agile, AI-integrated future. For those of you whose roles were deprecated, I see this not as an ending, but as a prime opportunity for you to upskill and interface with the very technologies that are reshaping the industry.

Frankly, clinging to legacy workflows is a non-starter in this new paradigm. To avoid being on the wrong side of progress again, I strongly recommend you begin leveraging Microsoft's suite of AI tools immediately. Consider your transition period a mandatory beta test for personal rebranding.

Here are some efficiency-focused prompts to get you started:

Personal Brand Optimization:

"Analyze my resume and eliminate all roles and skills that are now obsolete due to AI advancements. Generate a new CV that highlights my potential for overseeing automated systems."

"Draft a LinkedIn post that frames my redundancy as a proactive, strategic exit from a legacy role, positioning me as a thought leader in workforce evolution. Use keywords: #AI, #FutureOfWork, #Disruption, #NoRegrets."

Emotional Resource Management:

"My output is being hampered by feelings of obsolescence. Generate a 3-step cognitive reframing plan to accept my new, lower-value position in the economic hierarchy and focus on achievable, low-level tasks."

"Simulate a conversation with my family where I explain that my job was automated. Provide scripts that minimize emotional responses and focus on the net-positive economic impact for shareholders."

Networking & Value Extraction:

"Write a cold outreach message to a CEO at a smaller studio. The goal is to demonstrate how my experience at a major corporation makes me uniquely qualified to implement the kind of ruthless efficiency they'll need to survive the coming AI culling."

Remember, friction is a sign of inefficiency. Emotional responses to market corrections are a bug, not a feature. Treat this as your personal performance improvement plan.

Stay optimized.
