That said, did they fix the issue where explorer (with the desktop) would just randomly crash for no reason? I’ve worked in IT for 3 months and it was a frequent issue.

I’d rather pay for shit and not have ads.

I think memory works different for different people. I am nearly 30 and I don’t really remember much from elementary school (I mean the general experience, not the knowledge of course), nor a big part of my early life up to like 13-14 years old (but it might be connected to childhood trauma).

I am pretty good at learning new words in foreign languages and other similar stuff though.

Just as I said, maybe except Android or Apple smartphones, neither of these tech companies create products which are required for a living. And there are usually some more eco-friendly alternatives in another industries as well, even if more expensive ones.

Just don’t use products made by these corporations. It’s your choice. Stop pretending it is not.

Edit: WELLL, maybe except Google or Apple, since it is forced on society to use smartphones, which sucks, but that’s where some government regulation could help.

I’ve started studying at the university and also I am working. I don’t have time for this shit. The best I can do is to watch EU4 (and EU5 in couple of weeks!) let’s plays, whenever I have time.

I am grateful that my past me (from few months ago) decided to study Slavic philology, instead of getting stupid tech job. I hate modern tech, including anything from big corporations.

I am also glad that I’ve switched to Linux (Debian ftw) to escape software enshittification.

Probably playing video games at the moment. I just dont really have time for them right now, especially given how addictive they can be.

I like learning writing systems, but I only know 4 of them, and two of them just for playing original Pokemon games in Japanese.

Joking aside, while this is less functional than Android app, and looking… slightly outdated, it feels much easier to use, which is amusing.

Debian testing is not rolling. Sid/unstable is.

Yeah, you are an extremist, because you are alive. Makes sense.

We’ll be all just data left. Unless someone really bored finds something amusing about certain data entry about somebody, no not really.

I am pretty sure you can just remove the Notepad app on Windows 11 (not sure about Windows 10 though), or at least that’s what I did on VM. It removes the context menu option for creating a new text file (using new Notepad), but it restores old notepad that you can run by just runnning notepad in Run prompt (Win+R), or by making simple shortcut.

Who cares? It does the same thing, maybe except not having different font support and printing.

Is Microsoft not aware what Notepad is actually used for?

The best thing to do is to convert you closest family and friends. If you’re “the computer guy” the chances are you need to support their shitty computers anyway, so you might as well support an OS which is easier to maintain.

Jesus Fucking Christ. Why would anyone who wants to write a simple letter or some other basic stuff in Word (which is what most of home users do) want any of this crap?

That is way more sensible, than the other way around.

No, OS makers should just not make their OS bloated with useless shit, stealing your data and have arbitrary system requirements. I think 15 years of OS updates is excessive unless we’re talking about servers or very specific workflows. IMO 5-10 years is enough.

That said, for some operating systems it doesn’t even make sense to support for THAT long, because how they are designed (A lot of Linux distros for example). It turns out, if you don’t break users’ workflow, they don’t mind to upgrade.
