    Oh, look. Must be one of those cunts that the bald ding-dong sent into space. I read about the stupid ground-kissing bullshit. Lemme do a thing for the cameras because I’m a rich piece of shit. Fuck all of them.

    That the link is nypost certainly helped with the identification. If anyone isn’t following, Bezos. I could be wrong. Fuck 'em anyway.

      Yes, that’s Katy Perry from April last year: https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/cly57zxevg7o

      But more to the point, it’s a popular(-ish) meme format for when you have to go do something you hate (or end up hating) and then you’re so freaking happy to be back to your comfort zone. I.e. exactly how it’s used in this post. Who she is and the whole backstory of how it happened is really not important, I believe the feeling she was conveying is real, even if the act of actually kissing the ground was just a stunt for the camera.

      There are better things to be angry about.

    Unfortunately yes, although it’s hopefully not commonplace for my ad bloated W11 start menu to take 10 seconds to open.

    Fortunately I use linux at work and at home for years now.

    The rest of my family apparently hate themselves and use windows… I can now just use the excuse that it’s too long since I’ve used windows and can’t help.

    After years of being on Linux, i never realised how cynical i gotten with windows until i randomly have to use it

    Linux aren’t perfect either, but I feel more tolerant on design decisions caused by unintentional mistakes rather than what feels like intentional manipulation

    Safe to say, I’m always grateful Linux exists everytime I have to use windows again

    Do people even use Windows anymore, outside of office and gaming use? Most people I know either do everything they’d do on a computer on their smartphone, and the rest all use Macs.

      Almost everyone who uses a PC uses Windows. It’s hard to see that inside our Linux bubble, but it’s true. Only one of my friends uses Linux. Mostly because of the very occasional problems with running games.

      He uses Cachy, I use Bazzite because I want to pay the least amount of attention possible to my PC’s requirements and that one sounded better.

      I might be wrong about my choice, but it works fine so far and I will not change until I am absolutely pushed into it, just like I kept Windows 10 until I could not stand its bullshit.

      Too mentally fried by life atm to give this stuff the proper attention. Just want to play games, edit audio, use Zoom and Discord, and not be bothered by the OS in any way.

      Bazzite has absolutely done that for me better than any windows since my beloved highly tweaked Win 7, and for that I am grateful. It is a breath of fresh air.

      Good point. I honestly don’t know anyone who uses Windows at home anymore. Nobody in my greater family circle, certainly. A couple use Linux, but it’s mostly Mac.

      And a ton of iPhones. My wife is þe only Android user, and I’m on a Linux phones.

    Sad that it go so fast to be annoyed by Windows. I wonder if they ever going to fix that.

    Most likely performative, but when a CEO invites you into their long, cylindrical tube I would imagine it to be scary for anyone.

    Love that it is supposedly made on impulse that she is once again assuming the ground, but at the same time she’s so conscious to hold her hair making sure her face is visible to cameras.

    I’m usually vibrating in anger within 5 minutes. Faster if I have to do anything in that fuckshow called Settings.

    I use Windows at work. It’s so shitty and pathetic.

    My least favorite part is the slow pasting. I select some text to copy, press ctrl-c, then press ctrl-v and wait like 10seconds for the text to be pasted. So fucking weak.

    For real. Once in a blue moon I have to use windows at work or to help a family member, I always forget just how bad it is.
