Had to use win11 yesterday.

It was completely unusable fucking trash and even the ux was terrible.

If it helps, my media drives transferred straight over to Linux when I cleaned by last windows device.

Are you... Are you using the yt APP!?

Until its only used for this because our society sucks and just becomes a euphemism, because we can't have nice things.

They did! Its called a pihole plus ublock origin plus piracy.

You can't buy it, only the hardware, but the software is all free.

The free free market requiring a cool hat and tropical bird.

People who don't pirate already are fools.

Everything owned will do this sooner or later.

Not what laws are for.

Is what guillotines are for.

I had to use windows yesterday. Public computer at a print shop.

Everything was shades of white, the scroll bar was barely visible, when I enlarged a window the ux elements scaled up, and there was already tons of dead ui space, so I assumed there weren't any more to show. Also, every program, even though they were all Microsoft, gave a different screen when I hit control p.

I couldn't figure out how to adjust paper size. Ive been using computers since 199(2/3), when I could barely talk. Ive used legacy systems older than me-for industrial shit, for novelty. I grew up mostly a MS-DOS then windows girl. I've installed arch. Ive run arch successfully as a daily driver, then moved to qubes for a few years. I have systems so hacked together, I need to lick a bit of wire I connected poorly to trigger a thing (3v, its fine) I currently have a dead bug soldered project sitting half finished next to me (the hardware is done, works, I'm just bad at code), in a room that could mostly pass for the set of a live action 'serial experiment lain' remake.

And I couldn't adjust print settings on modern windows. Because it's just that garbage. Two days ago I wasnt a fanatical Linux partisan. I think I am now.

Yeah maybe giving corpo trash exclusivity over the sum total of human knowledge wasnt the best idea?

Okay but reddit is also becoming inaccessible; how to migrate this data?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

And its inaccessible to a lot of people now anyway.
