Imagine being one of the developers who put their time and effort into the base OS tools back in the day (almost all of which we had as far back as 7) only to watch Windows 11 undo all of it.

"Why bother taking a screenshot on your own? You could spend 10x as much time describing what you want a screenshot of to Copilot. And after it gives you something you didn't want, you can spend another 10 minutes looking up open source alternatives to Snipping Tool Copilot Edition." -Satya Nadella, super in-touch CEO of Microslop

I think greenshot is still a good alternative to snipping tool on windows. Iirc it's open source too.

Flameshot is great for this. Probably overkill for many but it’s perfect if you need it for documenting things.

Ooh isn't this the same issue that fucked up terminal? Something store related that took other apps as collateral.

If even a year ago i could say that windows 11 indeed sucks, but at least is still useful for people who dont care, but now it is literally unusable, and with every update becoming even worse.

It's not the application's fault. Microslop Store is a fucking blight on humanity. Words cannot express how much I despise it. Just this week I've had two walk-ins who had this error. One was some Alienware bloat that would show a pop-up every five seconds, the other was some other program I can't recall. I have a stress ball. Sometimes I like to pretend that it's Nadella's trachea.

I loved using Windows sticky notes. When we upgraded to Windows 11, I couldn’t use it anymore because it demanded I connect a MS account, but my employer forbids making one for this machine, and it has to stay offline and is used to operate lab equipment. Keeping it offline seems sensible because you’re not going to get malware and updates can cause bugs when it just needs to run the hardware. Nevertheless, IT told us that we have to move to Windows 11 now. As far as I’m concerned, they ruined a perfectly good app. It’s literally not usable in my situation anymore. User is sad now.
