I am the smug well guy in this picture. You can complain and whine about Microsoft's shitty practices to people who have no way of effecting them..oooorr you can use a different OS. Kind of a "better to light a candle than to curse the darkness" deal.

Nothing is stopping you from getting an embroidery frame and doing it yourself, OP. Embroidery is a cheap and fun hobby, and I heartily recommend it.

What, an ugly ass vehicle that looks like it came from an early 90's video game is a flop? Whodathunkit?

Say what you want about 19th century robber barons, at least they had some modicum of sensibility and good taste. The current batch of ketamine addled megalomaniacs and Gollumesque surveillance capitalists can't fuck off soon enough.

Corporate silo media continues to be corporate silo media, to nobody's surprise.

The Billionaire class is so assured in its grasp on power that they're willing to create martyrs. Let's see how that turns out

Wait, are we sharing how to do the LBRP or how to draw cartoon stars?

I'm glad gamers are finally escaping Microsoft's grasp. The latest corporate bloatware is simply too ineffective for users that are always looking to squeeze as much oomph out of their machines as possible.

I see a lot of people in this thread reacting with open hostility and derailment every time men's issues are mentioned. Have you tried not being a part of the problem?

Whoops, you're right. Corrected.

RSS is a convenient way of getting content without bothering with bookmarks and getting annoyed with ads. I'm on a RSS finding spree, so I've decided to share this with you.

 
 

Over reliance on algorithms has degraded the user experience to the point that the average user is drowning in ragebait and extremist politics, because they drive up engagement. Just like a toddler, algorithms don't discriminate between good and bad attention, so everything that gets clicks is thrust forward. Now, you could hope to train the algorithm to show you only postive things, but engagement is engagement and the algorithm curators often engage in rage farming, where your feed is injected with things that are likely to enrage you.

You can avoid this by installing an RSS reader, going to your favorite sites, and manually adding a RSS feed. Now, your reader has things that you manually selected, with the added bonus of having a content pipe free of malicious interference. You can also divide topics in a way that you can avoid certain themes and news until you decide to engage them.
