Haha fair.

I followed you on mastodon, too, it’s just I ended up sticking here. Maybe someday I’ll try there again.

It was a combination of a) my best friend is on an instance that started blocking mine (fairly) and b) the clients I tried just irritated me constantly, more than bsky.app

I rarely use the win laptop & figured I’d just stop, but I was able to enroll for free despite being in the US.

I’d suggest going through their requirements to make sure you’re doing the things before enrolling (assuming you’re ok with those things).

Hey so

Do you have a "Windows 10" machine you didn't upgrade to Windows 11

You should open this page and follow the instructions BEFORE WEDNESDAY. There are no downsides I know of & it means you get security updates for one more year. It may cost $30, or may not.

…ok that was dumb of me! In my defense, when I’m ill my double vision gets worse, so right now my vision is not very well corrected! I’ll delete and repost bc I don’t want to unnerve people.

Anyway, logging in to update turned on a bunch of copilot stuff I turned off AGAIN so never using MS outside of work.

rm lininger* @0xdaeda1a.bsky.social · 8h

I’m not saying that’s what you or anyone should do. Frankly it’s a pain in the butt. I’m just old and want these LLMs off my lawn.

The only thing I was regularly using windows for was quicken, & most are saying Mac is ok finally, so I switched.

I don’t use the biofeedback as regularly as I should.

I’m so incredibly grossed out by copilot that I’m not willing to go to win11. Yes they back ported it but it seems easier to kill, especially since I got a refurbished dell with 10 pro so I can mess with group policies.

(I’m also still on Mac 14.8.1 and will stay there until it’s not supported.)

a lot of posts over the next four years are going to fundamentally consist of "democrats should have said the magic words that made republicans stop being republicans" and frankly i am going to lose my mind if i am subjected to enough of those

Columbian Exchange Day is a great idea because it proves how much and how recently most national-cultural identities were constructed out of diverse global components.

If you can't imagine Italian, German, Korean, Indian, or any other national food without new world plants, what are they, really?

Ryan Moulton @moultano.bsky.social · 12h

Perhaps instead of Columbus Day we can celebrate Columbian Exchange Day where we celebrate the food pairings that had never been possible before, peppers and onions, chocolate and coffee, basil and tomatoes.

Would you like to talk to my cats? They throw up at random intervals far less than any other cat I have met or heard of, so they may have some good pointers.
