I got a new laptop with Windows 11 at work yesterday. This is the first time I’ve used 11. I must say, it’s not really that bad. Once you cut out all the enshittification, which our IT department does, it’s pretty decent. I would never dream of putting it in any of my own machines, of course.

I really wonder at what point they’ll stop throwing good money after bad.

In Germany that sort of shit would be illegal. But the law is only applied to regular people, of course.

And it’s not even soup!

Mint is the easy and safe choice and works fine for anyone who just wants to use their computer with minimal fuss.

Next step could be installing it in a virtual machine. Dual booting can be a pain in the ass due to Windows not playing nice.

Whatever happened to keeping a stiff upper lip?

What kind of attitude is this? What you do is put on a sweater and have a cup of tea. Young people these days…

I would like to make it absolutely, unambiguously clear that I was assembled in Germany.

Of course, of course. Every time. Just like those tax cuts for the rich always pay for themselves.

Ah yes, women are so emotional, amirite? That’s why we need to put petulant toddlers in charge that are completely out of touch with reality and are only motivated by their own self gratification.

You can absolutely use Mint as a live system.

I have committed the grave sin of spelling the name of the Dear Leader wrong. I’ll report to the nearest reeducation camp as soon as possible.

I like to play Nintendo on my PC.

What would you suggest? Something by Xi Xinping?

BANNED!!!

It’s all performative. Everybody knows that word filters do nothing to prevent bad things from happening. But taking actually effective measures might impact the bottom line.

They all are.

Uh huh. So we’re at the “it wasn’t that bad” stage.

That’s not the point. If you think CNN&Co. are left, I have news for you.
