This looks familiar. Is this somewhere in Whistler by any chance?

That’s so cute. Also funny to see how the grey color is dominant, but even the grey kittens get some of their pattern from the spotted patent.
You’re not wrong, but as privacy conscious consumers we have more ways to force Microsoft and other tech giants to bend the knee than just disengaging with their product and leaving less savvy users to fend for themselves. One such example is legislative action, take a look at how the EU has been wielding their internal market to force companies into more pro-consumer practices. Another is class action lawsuits, there’s a long history of successful suits resulting in lasting change.
You might not agree with me on whether those options are the right path forward here, but I feel that we, as security and privacy conscious owners have a duty to speak up about these things for the majority that can’t or won’t due to their technical abilities.
Why does every mention or discussion of any annoyance in Windows immediately turn into a “install Linux” thread on here?
Sure, Linux might solve the immediate problem for the affected individual (and probably introduce a bunch of new ones as Linux isn’t always as easy to use as advocates try to convince people it is) but it doesn’t solve the larger issue - Microsoft needs to be held accountable for horrible design decisions and anti-consumerist practices.
Not everyone can, or will, switch to Linux. No matter how hard people champion that cause. And even if they do, it’s a process that will take time. In the immediate, lots of people stand to benefit from Microsoft not pulling this sort of bs, and it’s entirely justified to complain about it to make them walk back this decision.
It’s a older meme, but man does it hold up to reality. Cats really do seem to come in two flavours: Aloof and house clown.
Doesn’t Italy have any bears and wolves around anymore? I mean, they’re probably significantly less common than Canada, but still. I thought there would be some apex predators left.
Looks blissful. To be a cat in an urban environment without any predators to worry about must seem pretty nice.
Thanks for sharing these gems. I can almost feel the exasperation in some of the emails and their replies.
