Microsoft has been built on a 40 year old tech monopoly under which is has fully leveraged abusive anti-consumer and anti-user tactics that have kept it there. It’s amazing they have lasted this long while accreting so much hate. This greed, their creepy starry-eyed cult-like adoption of LLMs, and the destruction of user trust by the outright THEFT of user data will be their downfall. You simply cannot vibe code a good operating system.
Watching one of the largest corporations ever conceived BEG users to use OneDrive and Edge, then surreptitiously change settings and install software to make it so is mind boggling. They simply cannot STAND that you won’t let them train models on your data, glowing bright green with envy at Google and Apple’s closed hardware systems.
I’ll say it again and again, I would have happily paid for Windows 10, but they gave it away for free, then marched an unwilling user base to 11 only for it to be the worst OS since Windows Vista. Extreme wealth breeds insanity.

Make sure to sand them first with a rough grit or the paint won’t stick. You can also add sugar to your gas tank to make your sick piston paint job super sweet.

Fun fact: Windows will overwrite GRUB if you install it or otherwise perform an action that requires it to mess with the boot loader.

Why does everyone like giant, awkwardly shaped, gawdy, hand was only in lukewarm water, non-microwave, non-dishwasher safe mugs that start peeling after 3 months? Is your talking pikachu mug with a speaker and light up tail really worth all that effort when it winds up in the back of the top shelf cupboard and you go back to white ceramic after 3 weeks? How many Looney Tunes mugs from Six Flags can one person reasonably store in their home before exceeding the legal limit for dissolved lead concentration?
Why would we invent a machine that cleans the dishes just to invent dishes that the machine cannot clean? What are we DOING with our LIVES??

- Comment on EU lawmakers to study ban 'loot boxes' and other addictive features in video games 1 month ago:
I’m of the strong opinion that we control the media that we are exposed to and that the resolution for problematic or undesirable media is to simply turn it off.
However: advertising, LLM’s, social media, and the Internet have forced me to capitulate that certain forms of media constitute a legitimate memetic hazard, and are capable of fueling addiction, misinformation, and general misery in large enough scales. I hate this conclusion because while I still heavily err on the side of media liberty and self-control, I cannot square that value with the reality of poisonous, hostile media.
We should not be subjected to predatory practices to enjoy the products, services, and entertainment that we depend on, and that are part of our shared experience and culture. Loot boxes, advertising, and financial scams are near universal in popular gaming products, and even software in general. To me, this eventually constitutes a monopolistic behavior that becomes reasonably unavoidable and must be regulated.
