It is a net, and it is tiny!

I am in a position to see first hand people regularly dropping ~$4000USD on “mid-range” PCs. It hasn’t slowed down purchasing of PCs, if anything it is speeding up compared to this time last year.

It is this, coupled with so many people not even knowing that they are using OneDrive (because it was automatically enabled if you have a Microsoft account linked to your Windows install, and Microsoft pushing to link your account).

So that they don’t get the spotlight on them and get shit down? Unless they have the money and legal representation behind them to fight it, like the AI companies do?

It’s kind of ironic that a preservation focused organization didn’t have any sense of self-preservation. If they quietly scraped and archived songs over time and in the background, there never would have been any attention brought on them.

The point is that it does not inspire confidence when that is the introduction… (You can also file the bug report, or I could, but you are the one championing it)

Damnit, you’re right!

But for real, I think you misunderstand the point of documentation. Even if something were truly, literally flawless, having documentation would still be a net gain. It isn’t only to fix something when it goes wrong, but explains how things are working. If the only way for something to be literally flawless in your world view is for it to be so self explanatory that an idiot seeing it for the first time still understands it perfectly, nothing in computing can be flawless in that way.

The pedantry on this point is so unhelpful as to be actively harmful to the rest of the discussion.

They didn’t say it required documentation, they said it had plenty of documentation should you need it.

The reasoning I moved from Windows to Linux was this right here.

If I’m going to be fighting with Windows anyway, because of the registry giving me issues, then the drawback of “but Linux hard! You have to configure things!” was moot.
