      I think we have been taught from birth that we can and should have it all. The most expensive car, the biggest house, the most powerful phone. It is a lie and its becoming increasingly unattainable for more people. It is pure consumerism and doesn’t make anyone happier. In truth people are lucky to have any sort of home which is a fucking travesty and an indictment on our society and politics. A 3 year old phone is still a phone. In a city you often don’t need a car at all, certainly you don’t need a lease for a massive truck that consumes all your income.

      Windows has more and better software available than Linux (most free and open source software also runs on Windows). Most people don’t need it. Downscale your life and be happy.

        I agree. Last I checked you can actually get a copy of Enterprise LTSC for free (I think it involved pulling from M$ archives, maybe archive.org), and it comes with M$ Office for Business, aka individual apps, pre 365 trash. You won’t get the latest malware or OTA bug pushes, or even the latest in forced advertising widgets or AI creativity replacements. Wouldn’t hurt to put it through Win11Debloat and O&OShutUp10

      The issue is the “some problem” with windows literally cannot be fixed and they’re asking for a solution.

        I don’t think I expressed the right intent with this meme. I’m 💯 with you. 😄

      That is an issue, one that is being discussed and can be turned off currently. Meanwhile Microsoft is head deep in AI so much they’re renaming known trademarks into their AI brand. So… I don’t think Mozilla is the bigger problem.
