It runs like shit today. Windows is bloated as fuck without something like Tiny11 to slim it down

I just don't use services that don't work with Firefox. Easy.

I'm not having children to compete with other people. I don't want to be responsible for bringing a life into this world only to suffer as crops fail and wars for resources rage.

In America, school teachers are paid shit wages, and guns are everywhere. Quality of life is decreasing as wages stagnate, the rich get richer, and democracy slowly turns into fascism. The oceans are getting hot enough to kill the fish, and they keep getting hotter. Microplastics are literally everywhere, and we're still learning how bad that is.

We've already passed the Paris Climate Accord global warming limit, and the yearly global greenhouse gas emissions are still increasing to record levels. 1.5C of warming was supposed to be the doomsday limit, but now they say 2C isn't that bad? The moving target for the global warming limit is a joke, and the poor and impoverished are the punchline.

Sure, I get the urge to have children, but I've already gone through the 7 stages of grief myself about it.

I can afford kids, but fuck making them live through this climate collapse we've created. I'll adopt if I really want a kid.

I'm actually scared to dual boot. I've heard too many stories of Windows updates messing up the bootloader

After trying Windows 11 for a while, I just gave up and installed Kubuntu on my computer. I still use a Windows VM for some things, but I make sure to firewall the shit out of it lol

The term "SDV" is pretty much an industry standard in automotive engineering

Social media is fucked, dude. It's the norm to always feel like you're missing out.

Eh, it's also a convenience problem. If I want to watch a specific movie, good luck figuring out what streaming service it's on. It's so nice to be able to just watch what I want without that hassle.

For music, I think yes. For other forms of media, not so much.

This is the result of decades of having management full of people with finance degrees rather than technical degrees. They cut costs because they don't understand worth. Same thing happened with Southwest Airlines.
