Hey y'all, today I experienced another push for Linux from our friend Microsoft.
5 minutes ago, I wanted to use the timer app on Windows, so I could manage my work/break schedule, and this fucker showed up.
Yes, that's a prompt to sign in with a Microsoft account to use the clock. If you close it, it pops up 30s later. Clicking “Don't sign in” or closing the process responsible for displaying it is useless, and guess what… IT PAUSES THE TIMER WHEN IT SHOWS UP.
I guess this is another thing added to the super long list of things which will eventually make me switch my main workstation to Linux once win10 is discontinued.

Hope y'all are having a great day :3
I can imagine the project lead in the meeting: "Okay guys, we need to make the worst timer app ever, so I can sell my better timer app in the app store. Any ideas?" "You can start the timer, but need to be online and sign in with 2FA to keep the timer running." "Brad, you're a genius."
Epic!
