  • That’s right. As long as I don’t actively download things and run them blindly, I’ll be fine. My herd immunity consists of adblockers, hosts file, and a managed router.

    The only thing that will change the equation is when, inevitably, my little refurbished bargain 15 year old laptop will finally crash too often and become tiresome to use, and/or software I want to use forces win 11 for no reason. An example is KiCad, an electronics schematic and PCB design suite that does nothing fundamentally different than OrCAD did on a 386 40 years ago. Why it forces you to use Win 11 now is utterly mind-boggling to me, but I also grow tired of constantly having to find ways around artificial constraints.

    And I wouldn’t mind a new monitor too.

    Is there more than one of you? I feel a planet of 8 billion crass fleshapoids with their mouths and bellies and secondary sexual characteristics imprinted in their brains is a very sad place to live in.

    We need more discorporate energy beings like you, then we can commence burning down museums with all those statues of nudes, such objectification shall be illegal in the reign of Spirit the First.

    I think the best I can do is become a Skoptsy. Will I ever be good enough for you, Oh Powerful Mind? My feeble flesh frame trembles in shame at your mere presence!

    Anyhow I think I’ll go download some fat tit porn and rub one out before going for a walk.


  • Well, it’s still a question that needs answering. I’ve been running Windows 7 non-stop for years. The only reason it crashes is because the hardware is failing. Computing isn’t as complex as biology, for example, a program running on my laptop doesn’t reproduce and evolve and then send out floppy discs into the atmosphere where other computers breathe it in.

    It’s still relatively simple and deterministic. So, show me a URL that I can click on that will demonstrate all these threats I keep hearing about. Show me a link explaining these “vulnerabilities” that doesn’t end in “the user needs to install and run the malware in the browser.”

    You guys are so certain it’s everywhere, should be easy. Which part of TCP/IP is sending me code that Windows 7 will then execute?

    Waiting! Or maybe you’ve made this your entire identity and feel threatened by a simple question? You should be happy to hack my poor old Windows 7 with a simple URL?
