Windows 11 seems to be fine, despite everyone whining constantly.

The ads everyone cries about? Can be disabled with a single option.

Slowness? Haven't experienced it.

11 didn't introduce anything, for me, that I couldn't already do. Some of the desktop management features aren't that bad and the UI is fine I guess. If you don't like it, turns out it's pretty easy to replace with a different shell.

Privacy concerns are pretty legitimate, but with about as much effort as getting a Linux distro set up and working you can lock that stuff down.

Reddit was where I came across that the most. I don't use much social media so my exposure is relatively small.

This happens to me often. I don't learn, unlike you.

Always trying to go too fast.

Hmm maybe longer that it should have been, but do you really expect everyone to search for something instead of inferring the meaning based on context?

Look, I've never been anti-gay or anti-trans, but this kind of attitude isn't winning over the people who are in the middle.

I'm talking about generalizing and stereotyping type statements that, even if you aren't homo/transphobic, feel like they're targeted at you. When someone says, to give a hyperbolic example, "cisgendered white men are bigots", they are not actually referring to all cis white men. But if you're cis and white, you now know they assume you're not a good person by default.

Tribalism is never the way.

As someone who used to think it was an offensive term, it's likely ignorance and because it's often used in a deragatory and dehumanizing way on the internet.

At first I didn't know what cisgendered or cis meant, but I definitely saw it used to describe a group of people non-cis folks didn't like very much. Of course I eventually learned, but still had a bit of a distaste due to the initial impression.

Also, I always saw "cishet" as a cheeky way of saying "cis shit" because it was also often used negatively in the places I originally came across the term. Once someone explained it in a comment section I finally understood it wasn't hateful terminology but instead descriptive.

You can't stop someone from being negative but at least knowing what the words are meant to mean can help identify a bad person rather than bad word.

If the rise of LLMs to the mainstream has taught me anything, it's that artists are very whiny bunch who vastly over value themselves.

I feel like you'd have a better conspiracy statement if you at least spelled paid correctly.

I really wish tailoring clothing was easier/more accessible. A lot of my clothes get thrown out when they stop fitting well in certain spots (especially the groin) or when they get small holes.

But why would I spend as much to repair that pair of kind of worn down pants as it would cost to buy a new one?
