ok so a couple things for the people in this thread:

sometimes, when people complain, they don’t want advice. they just want to vent their frustration. that’s ok. your advice is just gonna come off as annoying, especially

if they’ve heard it a billion times already. and trust me, if you’re on the fediverse and complain about windows or macos, you’ve heard “just use linux lol” before.

holy shit stop doing victim blaming. this goes for everything btw. like. stop. “lol your fault for using windows” shut up. if you’re already doing victim blaming for trivial stuff, i don’t trust you for when much more serious problems arise.

You’re not a victim for using windows, you’re a consumer. “I cant stop using windows because i have stockholm syndrome don’t blame me” is like the most unhinged take ive heard so far and is super disrespectful to anyone whos actually been a victim of just about anything.

I would like to imagine you say these same things every single time grocery store packaging gets a little bit smaller.

Huh? I think I would just go for the better, cheaper (free?) alternative
