Still not convinced. X still has huge numbers, and they’re one of the biggest cesspools on the internet.

It was always cool to avoid facebook. Yes I AM a myspace loyalist who’s still pissed 20+ years later!

I’m also still pissed napster died!

Thats like asking “How are there still so many boomers alive?”

Give it time.

Winnie the Pooh?

And see…here’s the thing. If they were just gay? That’d be fine. What I take offense to is the fact that they condemn anyone not within their inner circle for being gay.

It’s like they want to paint this picture of what they want america to be. And in this picture it’s essentially the town from the andy griffith show. Except they also want a little secret gay sex. But anyone ELSE that has gay sex is to be punished! WHILE THEY DO THE EXACT SAME SHIT THEY PUNISH OTHERS FOR!!!

Like the secret is some shamable offense. It’s not though. So you took it in the ass last night from a dude. So what? As long as you’re both ok with it, then I see no issue. Yet they want to act like nobody else is allowed to do that.

Fairly sure no boomer would know that reference.

Also fairly sure no GenZ would either.

Kind of seems like it’d work better if your PC contained a numeric code. That code would contain everything the update service needs for your specific computer.

For example. If your computer has a display out, it might add 855. And if your display has a touch screen it might add a 99. So now you have 85599. And when your PC sends 85599 to the update service it knows to include all updates with 85599.

But if my pc has a display out, but NOT a touch screen I would only have 855. I would not have 99. So I wouldn’t get the touchscreen updates.

Now do this for every single piece of tech a computer might have an update for. If you have usb 2.0, you might get 122. But if you have usb 3.0 you might get 133. And if you have usb type c, you might have 177. Or maybe you have usb 2.0, 3.0 and type c. So you’d have 122133177.

Yes, the number would be quite long, but you’d never need to see or interact with it. It’s just a small txt file that windows would send to its server to prepare the relevant updates.

I imagine that cutting down useless bloat would be beneficial for everyone. For example, if I’ve never used Turkish language, then I could skip 1.2GB of download for downloading the Turkish dictionary.

Why don’t they do it like that?

C’mon. It’s not that hard. You’re making the assumption that Andy Stone is telling the truth, with a gotchya astrict.

What if…the big business just…LIES???
