    Without windows and macos, we would all be divided on what is the better distro, but thanks to shitty corpo trash, we can unite to hate them together. Fuck windows!

      Due to all the registry and group policy changes I’ve made to decrapify Windows, I’m legitimately worried that every major update will brick my install. Luckily so far they’ve only make it worse in the ways that Microsoft intended.

    Anyone remember the early Windows 10 update that booted back up with a black screen that said “Don’t Panic”?

    That was the most panic inducing moment I’ve ever had with any PC.

      I remember reading a post from some person who struggled with hallucinations and was absolutely creeped out when that large, semi-ominous text appeared on their laptop screen out of nowhere lol. Then again, this was on r*ddit, 97% chance they were making it up for upvotes.

          Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

          STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM

          Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

      The original meme template, to my knowledge, was something along the lines of “People be like “Subway sucks”. Bro, you made the sandwich.” and then it was tweaked a little, tweaked a little more, tweaked a little more and we ended up with this and even more absurd versions.
