I find the tiny amount of jank comforting

It's like a subtle reminder that you aren't being exploited by a big corporation.

seriously, really helps learn troubleshooting too, not just throw and error number at you and close.

Lol every Microsoft error I've seen in the last few years has been of the "Oops! Something went wrong!" variety. I would kill for a fucking error number.

UwU something just went fucky wucky and we have to shut down

Not like it matters, even when google finds a promising link, Microsoft has invariably moved or deleted the article, but instead of just telling you it's gone, you get the windows 11 landing page...

I saw this one recently in a car: "Error: USB input." Okay, so what am I supposed to do now?

But, this seems to imply that there is no jank in software made by big corporation.

Corporate jank has a different flavour to open-source jank.

Corporate jank is like *Download the adobe download update manager in order to download updates for your adobe update manager now free of charge! Just don't forget to activate your adobe download update manager activation license in the adobe activation license activator software"

Open-source jank is like Yeah, it's broken unless you install this specific package or there are three and a half different states that the "brush" tool can have, and the "half" is what you want most of the time or these 5000 lines of logs are not important and can be ignored, except once in a blue moon where a really important critical notice is hidden somewhere in the middle or why are you using the official installer, nobody uses the official installer! Just get it from your package manager!
