> Connect the dots. They fired the humans, let a hallucinating chatbot write the kernel, and then shipped the beta to us.

No, that's a hypothesis, one amongst many, with no evidence provided.

> Connect the dots. They fired American workers, brought in H1B’s from India while also increasing their offices in India. AI didn’t break Windows, cheaper labor and the effort to increase bottom line did.

This would be more convincing if I hadn't lived through BSOD... I mean Windows 95.

Hey, they fixed the BSODs eventually. That screen's black now.

It blows my mind that on Linux I can pin the taskbar to the left side and it works out of the box. Windows, aside from somehow losing that basic functionality, won't even install because it requires an internet connection and doesn't even have drivers to use my wifi or Ethernet that the installer can use.

How did this happen? How did Linux, of all things, become easier?
