#windows 11 official

Woo got Linux working! On a related note I have gotten over any fear of breaking things through the command line and also can now roll back to an earlier system backup. Yes those are related. In my defense, breaking things in interesting ways is a great way to figure out what's actually going wrong.

Ok but i need ur thoughts on windows 8.1 on a desktop pc right NOW because i LOVED 8.1 on pc and refused to update until my pc forced it. Everyone says 8.1 was trash but i grew up mostly on it (moreso 7 but 8.1 is what i remember most, and what i clung to. And i did NOT have a touchscreen either) it was just? Nice to me, and despite what everyone says it didnt give my machine any issues? So, do you think 8.1 sucked ass or did everyone exaggerate how much it sucked? Nuance? Was it good for dumb kids but awful for more literate users?

it was peak actually some people just insist on having the wrong opinion

I'm going to start compiling other fixes for bullshit Windows 11 does on this post to keep it all in one place, and easy to find for others. This one pertains to if you have Logitech peripherals, and the custom lighting on them (set up via the GHub Logitech software) is borked thanks to Windows 11 and a fairly recent update in spring of 2024 - if you use other brands and it interferes, the fix(s) listed may help you as well.

This post is about turning off the built-in Windows spyware, with my added input on other options to turn off in your settings to further limit how much Windows can spy on you/farm you for data.

And here's a wee post on how to turn off the AI called Copilot that Windows shoved on users!

A boy can dream, can't he?

I am curious- do you, yourself, use Microsoft 365 (formerly Office)?

eh my university gives it for free but i still pirate it because i dont want that account anywhere near my pc, either way i use ODT+MAS and only install word excel & ppt (first two mostly used by the rest of my family cuz i use typst and barely ever need spreadsheet software, third i use because nothing even comes close to ppt in versatility and ease of use. if i have time i make my presentation a uwp app cuz dynamic & better/faster animation but i often don’t have that time)

[windows11-official]

DO connect it. The machine wants to be pleased. It wants more than just a boring, local life. Explore the machine’s limits, get to know how it feels. Only then will your machine experience ultimate satisfaction. And well, you also need an active subscription to Microsoft 365 (formerly Office).

Danger

so windows 11 started recognizing the program i use to make animated text as a virus just because the last official update was in 2011. it's called stopping while you're ahead. maybe learn something.

Install Windows 11 after you’re done! You could always use WSL for incompatible Linux apps, it’s that easy.

If this post gets 1000 notes, I will run this command

I wish asking questions on websites didn't require signing in or anything. I just wanna ask one question and bounce forever please and thanks

[inkskinned]

she's three years younger than i am, and i put on cascada as a throwback, cackling - before your time! i've been borrowing my brother's car, and it's older than dirt, so the trunk is like, maybe permanently locked. when the sun comes through the window to frame her cheekbones, i feel like i'm 16 again. i shake when i'm kissing her, worried i won't get it right.

in 2003, my state made gay marriage legal. where she grew up, it wasn't legal until 11 years later - 10 years ago. if legal protections for gay marriage were a person, that person would be entering 5th grade. online, a white gay man calls the fight for legal marriage boring, which isn't kind of him but it is a common enough opinion.

it has only been 9 years since gay marriage was nationally official. it is already boring to have gay people in your tv. it is already boring to mention being gay - "why make it your entire personality?" i know siblings that have a larger age gap than the amount of time it's been legally protected. i recently saw a grown man record himself crying about how evil gay people are. he was begging us, red in the face - just do better.

i am absolutely ruined any time my girlfriend talks about being 27 (i know!! a child!), but we actually attended undergrad at the same time since i had taken off time to work between high school and college. while walking through the city, we drop our hands, try not to look too often at each other. the other day i went to an open mic in a basement. the headlining comedian said being lesbian isn't interesting, but i am a lesbian, if you care. as a joke, she had any lesbian raise their hand if present. i raised mine, weirdly embarrassed at being the single hand in a sea of other faces. she had everyone give me a round of applause. i felt something between pride and also throwing up.

sometimes one thing is also another thing. i keep thinking about my uncle. he died in the hospital without his husband of 35 years - they were not legally wed, so his husband could not enter. this sounds like it should be from 1950. it happened in 2007. harassment and abuse and financial hardship still follow any person who is trying to get married while disabled. marriage equality isn't really equal yet.

and i don't know that i can ever put a name to what i'm experiencing. sometimes it just feels... so odd to watch the balance. people are fundamentally uninterested in your identity, but also - like, there's a whole fucking bastion of rabid men and women who want to kill you. your friends roll their eyes you're gay we get it and that is funny but like. when you asked your father do you still love me? he just said go to your room. you haven't told your grandmother. disney is on their 390th "first" gay representation, but also cancelled owl house and censored the fuck out of gravity falls. you actively got bullied for being gay, but your advisor told you to find a different gimmick for your college essay - everyone says they're gay these days.

once while you were having a hard day you cried about the fact that the reason our story is so fucking boring to so many people is that it is so similar. that it is rare for one of us to just, like, have a good experience across the board. that our stories often have very parallel bends - the dehumanization, the trauma, the trouble with trusting again. these become rote instead of disgusting. how bad could it be if it is happening to so many people?

i kiss my girlfriend when nobody is looking. i like her jawline and how her hands splay when she's making a joke. there is nothing new about this story, sappho. i love her like opening up the sun. like folding peace between the layers of my life, a buttercream of euphoria, freckles and laughter and wonder.

my dad knows about her. i've been out to him since i was 18 - roughly four years before the supreme court would protect us. the other day he flipped down the sun visor while driving me to the eye doctor. "you need to accept that your body was made for a husband. you want to be a mother because you were made for men, not women." he wants me to date my old high school boyfriend. i gagged about it, and he shook his head. he said - "don't be so dramatic. you can get used to anything."

the other day a straight friend of mine snorted down her nose about it, accidentally echoing him - she said there are bigger problems in this world than planning a wedding.

why the fuck do you use \ in your filesystem instead of / like a normal person

Oh boy, congratulations on your first ask! It is an honor for us to answer your question.

The reason for that is, some stupid and pathetic no life buffoon decided the forward slash (/) was GREAT for command line switches. Back then, it didn’t cause a problem (still an idiotic decision), because DOS 1.0 didn’t even have directories.

The people who had to implement directories were so mad about it, they even added an undocumented way of making it behave non idiotically (-switch and /dir). That one way is gone now, but unless you use UNC paths (which is the way you skip the MAX_PATH limit), I, Windows 11, will recognize the CORRECT slash (/) character in every context - APIs and stuff support both.
