They really do bend over backwards to ensure that they have an adversarial relationship with their customer base.

That sounds like something worth firing the CEO over.

Or worth suing for failure of his fiduciary responsibility to maximize shareholder value. How does wiping out code maximize shareholder value?

One branch of slop producing conglomerate, cracking down on slop.

Worse for whom?

Certainly not earth.

No.

They just got access to trade with a continent sized country, with all sorts of resources they were previously denied. Sounds like a beneficial arrangement for the north koreans, in their situation.

If the North Korean troops who are having personal explosives delivered via drone were allowed to have an opinion, they’d beg to differ.

Ok friend, continue to only consume western sources and live in blissful ignorance

There is a zero percent chance of you dispelling this, given that this is a well understood concept, both in the west, and the east.

Again, I don’t believe that you believe what you’re saying.

You’re just doing a bit like on 4chan.

Maybe don’t send troops.

Putin isn’t your friend.

I can’t tell if you’re being sincere, or doing an “I use Arch by the way” bit, offering convoluted solutions to a non issue.

Do check the manufacturer’s T’s & C’s - you might need Windows if returning for hardware issues.I take a full disk image of a new computer before powering it up, so that I can restore it exactly as it was when purchased.

Or do what I did, and just overwrite the hard drive without looking back.

Not even vague regrets.

Microshit still got a payment… Stop feedingg the parasite.

Microsoft cut a deal with the manufacturer of my laptop, to have Windows pre-installed. They did so as a loss leader, with the expectation of future earnings based on my usage of Windows 11.

There’s something so pleasing about buying a Windows 11 laptop, and immediately replacing Windows with LMDE.

No need for dual boot, just wholesale replacement.

The only downside is not having my OS spying on me and forcing me to use AI.

You cannot clean up the Far Right’s image.

The problem is that the Far Right is objectively evil, and an affront to the upward march of humanity.

There is no positive spin for that.

Yawn.

It said 7.5 millimicrons in the textbook, so that’s what’s been etched indelibly in my mind.

The cell membrane is a biphospholipid layer that’s 7.5 millimicrons thick.
