On the day he won, he was accused for being a right-wing advocate on front page, but for some unknown reason those articles disappeared in just couple of hours.
En kyllä todellakaan jaksanu lukea sitä :D menin iltalehden etusivulle ja ensimmäisenä vastassa otsikko jotakuinkin “huomasitko viisufinaalissa? Windows95Man ja äärioikeistolainen symboliikka” Ei sanasta sanaan noin, mutta noita sanoja käyttäen.
Pari tuntia myöhemmim yritin etsiä uutista näyttääkseni sen kaverille mutta ei löytynyt enää mistään.
Todennäköisesti. Hakkasin googlea jo silloin samana iltana kun sen alunperin näin, mutten löytänyt sitä enää silloinkaan. Täysin turha kohuotsikko se oli.
I think Windows has been shit since it was an app that sat on top of dos. It’s gotten a lot better now in countless ways, but overall, it’s gotten worse than better. There was a time where I couldn’t/wouldn’t consider an alternative as a daily driver from 95 through to the end of 7 support really.
The enshitification of windows got worse with 10 (11 is another order of magnitude) and the oncoming eos, drove me off again about 18 months ago and I’ve been happier for it.
You’re forgettin literally all the versions of unix that existed at that time, solaris being prominent, but ibm had their own version, and so did many other companies, all of these ram x11 desktops, win95 was much farther from being the only option than windows 10 was before windows 11
Every Windows version was shit when it came out, then became good through updates by the time the next version came out.
Except for Windows ME and 8, which were just shit.
He won’t be allowed to perform at Eurovision with the Windows 95 name/trademark/logo, so it would be hilarious if he switches to a name like Linuxman during it.
It’s still unclear if he’s allowed to use the logo and such. The national broadcaster Yle (which itself has a strict policy against advertising) allowed it in the national show and argued that (quote) “Windows 95 is no longer a protected trademark today. The product is hardly used by anyone anymore. Thus the name and the costume are allowed”
It showed a blue screen when you ejected a CD with the button on the CD drive, while it was reading from the CD. (At the same time, Linux would just disable the button until the CD was not in use aka unmounted)
