But muh games… and valve hardware…

Don’t forget about pubic hairs

You already are…

Infuriates me as well. I don’t think they realize how it looks and sounds in 2026.

You can save a few bucks a month though if you have Microsoft business premium copilot windows app Xbox Live pro plus plus though. Maybe look at that SKU instead. It also includes Microsoft 365 office productivity pro plus with copilot

I miss computing in the early 2000s. You could do so much and your OS worked with you instead of aggressively trying to gobble up all your personal information to feed AI and hoard it all to turn it against you to target you with ads or put you in a box when you shop somewhere.

I’d been going on and off Linux for years for personal computing. In 2012 I was full switched, and didn’t give windows another look until sometime in covid when I was playing through doom eternal or something. Had an annoying bug on Linux where if I ever switched virtual desktops it would freeze.

So I was only using my computer at this time to play doom and used windows for this time.

Then windows 11 came out. And I had to use it for work too. I can’t believe at this stage we have this level of bugs and glitches and ignored quirks for so long. When I booted back to Linux I think I made an audible sigh of relief.

It’s honestly crazy how much better it is. No bullshit on waiting for cloud shit to sync and auto updates for printer software, VPN clients, and other bullshit software. It’s all just there and waiting for you to use it and update it at your leisure.

The shitty part is it’s your tax dollars you’re smashing, but you’d think they’d get the hint and just give up on it.

That’s alarming, but how much can these really vary? I’d be surprised if a lot of vehicles weren’t the same.

Trump and crew know they can get away with it with minimal penalties so they’ll do it. Soluch a sad state of democracy.

This is fantastic news

It’s true. But again, it depends

Good. The only blow that guy deserves is the one he gives to all the people of the world. Enjoy, you broken throat fuck.

Not always true. And sometimes there’s caveats.

Ok and does it run optimized on old hardware and Linux? I’ll easily skip it if it doesn’t. 😜

When I paid 11k CAD years and years ago for a diesel pickup that is just as capable as a 2026 model in terms of climbing hills towing 8k lbs, it’s hard to justify the 120k+ price tag.

Yes, still driving a vehicle from that era.

🤣

Bold statements make you stand out, I guess.

There are dozens of us! 😔

Probably not enough of us willing to not buy in to this new game streaming bs to make an impact.

The risk is still there on decentralized platforms too, though.
