The PC I use at work just got upgraded and I hate it. My only saving grace is that I have been able to install Emacs, FreeCAD, PrusaSlicer, Cygwin, Git, and Python on it without admin privileges.
It is 2023 and these motherfuckers are shipping an operating system which doesn't even have grep
Slow down there pardner' they did let in GNU tar and curl. Just a couple decades late I suppose.
Computing while intoxicated
Is there another way?
What a weird coincidence. I got high af and started compiling gentoo.
I'm so sorry.
Fuck. Don't drink and root I guess
tragic
I couldn't do that cause I don't have a microsoft account, which it requires now lol
may allah guide me to linux before the 2025 W10 security update cutoff.
I think you can still get around the windows account BS by setting up the machine while it's not connected to the net and setting up a local account. It really doesn't like that, though.
Yep, and they keep changing things in the installer to prevent the workarounds. JayzTwoCents did a blurb on this back in February, and the installer had changed in between the last couple of installs that he had done:

Sounds like a job for Linux Mint, the detox solution for winblows refugees.
I feel like the people who have manually installed winblows are lower than the people who've installed GNU/Linux. Its so ubiquitous to have it just there infecting your computer.
I'm most likely statistically wrong. But statistics suck so I don't care. Feelings over facts.
Thankfully I'm immune to this problem because my CPU is too old to run it at all
:nelson-haha:
apparently windows 12 will require a paid subscription.
I've heard that, that was a hoax. They are definitely adding AI features to the desktop however so windows 12 will be fucked.
No, that's Windows 13. Enshittification happens every other version.
Ameliorate! AME11 will save you
I have to use Windows 11 at work, and I basically broke the start menu after two days of use lmao. I'm not sure whether it's because of PowerToys or ExplorerPatcher, probably ExplorerPatcher. Well, if Windows 11 didn't want me to break its start menu, it should've allow me to move the taskbar to the side lol
