  • I hate how hard they try to force you to use a Microsoft account with it. And yes, the hardware requirements are too stringent. Microsoft works hard at taking away agency from users and empowering the users’ corporate bosses and data miners instead.

    On top of all that, it’s 2024, Microsoft…a lot of people are struggling to buy groceries or pay rent/mortgage. They don’t want to be forced to buy a new PC.

    As for “just use Linux” crowd…you know what? I agree! And some people will migrate. But it’s going to be sort of like the reddit > Lemmy migration. Don’t get overly excited about it.


  • He’s clearly insane, but you’re right, it’s still interesting how his “logic” works.

    It’s scary that these psychos think violence is the answer to their perceived problems. There’s a line from The Boys that talks about this, I’m paraphrasing: they would rather see themselves as warriors against “secret forces of evil” than the lonely forgettable losers they are.

    It’s even more frightening to me that they live in some fantasy world where they think they can win a race war. Nobody here would win that. We’d all lose, and some other hostile nation would take full advantage of our domestic self-destruction. I’m worried it’s not a fringe notion. I’m worried a significant percentage are deluding themselves along these lines of violent planning.

    As corny as it sounds…United We Stand, Divided We Fall…is still true.
