Amazing #fuckery #Microsoft - even if I wanted #Windows on this machine I can't set it up.
I decided to try the Windows setup on my Dell #OptiPlex Micro. It won't let me through without creating an MS account, but now it wants me to prove I'm human by asking me to "press and hold" a button which keeps succeeding, and then asks again. After five times I'm giving up.

FFS. Just read the damn thing.
Pluralistic: Understaffing as a form of enshittification (23 Mar 2026) https://pluralistic.net/2026/03/22/nobodys-home/ by @pluralistic
FTA: "Businesses don't hire enough workers because that makes them more profitable. It's not because 'no one wants to work anymore' (though doubtless repeating that fairy tale helps shift the blame for long lines and poor service from real, greedy bosses to imaginary, greedy workers)."

#SaveYouAClick: things like #warfare, #hunger, #poverty not even on the fucking radar. On the other hand, gringos are perfectly fine with billionaires and their #fuckery.

#SaveYouAClick: No. The airlines basically built this cheap shithole service of #FlyingCattleCars plus plenty of people were willing to pay for it.

I remember early days when emphasis was on multiple points so if one fell, there were redundancies and ways to go around.

This is unimaginable‼️ #Fuckery
