"Each new update (which will eventually be forced upon you) seems to bring more bugs than fixes. Personally, I encountered 2-3 full system crashes a week when I ran Windows 11 ... After a Windows update (that I didn't choose to do) wiped [my Linux] partition ... I deleted Windows 11 and used the entire drive for Linux"

@adamsaidsomething I have to use Windows for work, and man MS has --really-- been pushing OneDrive and Edge.
I think MS sees big $$$ with OneDrive as SAS for files. BUT Users really resent endlessly being forced/pushed into it.

Yeah their working hard to take control and agency away from users. I read that even if you disable OneDrive, MS sometimes enables it again when it does a big system update

"Microsoft acknowledged Windows has issues [and] admitted that there are problems on almost every major Windows 11 core feature ... like the Start Menu, Taskbar, Explorer, and Windows Settings"

@adamsaidsomething Yeah, involuntary 'opt in' is never a good look.

@fwaggle @reverseics Reminds me of a tech I used to work with. We had a short that electrified a cabinet. When he touched it, it shocked him. But rather than tell anyone what was going on, he would say "It socks me when I do this" and touch it, shocking himself. Again. 😆

@reverseics @cR0w Infosec is also a button that shocks you when you push it and a bunch of motherfuckers who will go "huh, I wonder if that happens *every* time?"

@lexicaleigh they're so bach!

@copper_tunic it's kind of hard to say because I think the vhs effect is not playing nice with the video encoding. i think it looks neat on the text at least.
speaking generally, i think it is better to have the option to turn effects like these off at the very least. some people might find them hard to look at, and it can also be problematic for streaming

Experimenting with a VHS shader... think I'll leave it off by default. Thoughts?

Oh, you didn't boost my post I see.
*swirls glass of wine in his hand*
Maybe you just didn't see my post. Right? That must be what happened.
I mean we wouldn't want anything...unfortunate...to happen, from a simple mistake, right?
*Gives the stare of a gangster, but like a really tired and out of shape gangster. Also a gangster that looks kind of like he'd give you a hug if you needed it.*
