  • It’s not about the current state of their OS, it is about the corporate attitude to users.

    Microsoft are treating users not as valued customers purchasing a product, but as a resource to be manipulated and sold off to the cheapest bidder.

    They may have backflipped on actual ads in the Start Menu, purely due to user backlash, but they still have game/app/bullshit recommendations and reinstalled garbage, unless you are a windows sysadmin and know jo to use a Profile Editor.

    I think you a both right. Historically, Semites referred to a large cultural group.

    Over time, it has become a nonsense word because those cultural groups have become so dilute and diverse that you can’t point at someone and say they are part of that group.

    More recently, the label has become misappropriated by some sort of whacky religious nutbaggery so they can oppress other people.













  • “Real drivers” prefer lightweight cars that are more responsive and can corner, take off and stop on a dime.

    Track racing, off-road racing and even Motorkhana and technical rock-crawling is more fun in a vehicle that is the bare minimum.

    The only reason any driver would want something with superfluous extra weight is in Monster Trucks for stability, and then only if they are a shit driver.

    Even Tractor pulls (where the object is to pull a heavy weight) need the right balance of power:weight and ballast to have sufficient traction to offset the dead weight of the load.
