Dear Microsoft. Here is a list of things I want the Start Menu to do:

* Show my installed programs
* Search my local files
* Provide access to system settings

Here is a list of things I do *not* want the Start Menu to do:

* Show the weather for a randomly-selected town near my network's public IP infrastructure
* Show tabloid headlines
* Show programs I *don't* have installed
* Search the web via Bing
* Show adverts(!)
* Attempt to engage me in conversation with a hallucinating LLM

Thanks.

‘I never lived a life I didn’t want to live’: Sly Stone on addiction, ageing and changing music for ever

The immeasurably influential, infamously erratic soul star has written an unlikely autobiography. In a rare interview, Stone opens up on drugs, feuds and his treasure trove of unreleased tracks

The Guardian

Accidentally opened the back of my camera before rewinding the film and it turned out to be one of the best mistakes I've made in years.

Kyoto Tower Hotel. Nikon FM2n, Nikon Nikkor 50mm f1.4 (probably, although it miiight have been a 105mm f2.5), Fujifilm Fujicolor 200. #BelieveInFilm #35mmLoveLetter

M’aam, hiding the smooth loaf.

Well, that was close. I was nearly not embarrassed.. but now I can be slightly embarrassed: to have tickets to The #GreatestGen podcast tour. @GreatestTrek #London

I heart the Trek for many reasons, and this is one, or several! (not mine - found it on a Sci-Fi group I’m in). Nerds are made of many flavours 😊
