    I feel like I’ve seen some version of this for every version of windows since I got on the internet. Itd be cool to see a collection

      Tbf, a lot of versions of Windows sucked.

      (I wonder if anyone wrote up one of these for MS-DOS back in the pre Win9X era. That’d be interesting just to see the roots of the copypasta, lol.)

        You’re on Hexbear. There’s your problem.

        I suggest creating another account on some other instance. Start with Lemmyverse to find a nice one. Once you find an interesting instance, check Fediseer for more details. Click the little (i) next to the instance name in the Lemmyverse results, and navigate to Fediseer endorsements. If the instance has been endorsed, censored or whatever, this is the place where you’ll find some info about it.

        For example, here’s what it says about Hexbear. As you can see in the “censures received” section, that list is pretty long. BTW all the biggest instances attract attention, so disagreement and conflict naturally follow. However, the way the instance is run plays a role too. If you want to access more communities, make an account on one of the less conspicuous instances that hasn’t been blocked by others.

    My Laptop and Desktop have been windows free for years now. I Unfortunately have 1 box that it’s only purpose is to run software for my Line 6 Helix and Power Amp, and my 8bitdo controllers for firmware updates. However, that box I debloated, and remote into it from a superior system.

    USB pasthrough used to work, and I’d run a VM but I no longer am able to do this.
