image transcription: picture of a statue of the Hindu deity Durga. The statue has ten arms.

caption underneath the picture reads: in Hinduism, Durga is revered as the goddess of war, motherhood, and protection. But did you know she also wrote the default key bindings for Emacs?

I got away with using Liberation Serif instead of Times New Roman btw

Me: Blessed Carlo Acutis, pray for us.

NEW FROM MICROSOFT -WINDOWS 11

To Microsoft

I love how windows has automatic driver support

I have used windows XP since I was 6

Every program that ends with .exe runs great

But you got some problems to fix

it started with automatic random windows updates

BUT FOR FUCKS SAKE

LET ME UNINSTALL MICROSOFT EDGE

ITS NOT GOOD

ITS DOG SHIT YOUR SO DESPRATE

YOU MAKE IT RUN ON X86

IT EATS ALL MY RAM LIKE AN OBEESE MAN AT MCDONALDS

IT SLOWS MY COMPUTER DOWN

AND ITS GIVIN ME BLUE SCREENS WITH THAT STUPID ASS FROWN

HERES AN ERROR CODE Screw you

GOOD LUCK FINDING IT ON GOOGLE IT DOESN’T EXIST

YOUR RANDOMLY UNINSTALL IMPORTANT THINGS

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIX MY PC WHEN IT UNINSTALLS THE DRIVER FOR MY DISPLAY

I WOULD RATHER USE MacOs Monterey

SCREW YOU, YOU UNIX WANNABE

YOUR WINDOWS 11 IS A STD.

YOU LEAVE A STUPID NOTEPAD OPEN WITH ONE COMMA

WHEN I CLICK SHUTDOWN YOU WONT CLOSE!

YOU ACT LIKE I INSTALLED WINDOWS

IT COMES PREINSTALLED, PRE DESTROYED, PRE BROKEN

AND YET YOU SAY YOUR OPIRATING SYSTEM IS THE BEST

75% OF GLOBAL MARKET SHARE IS A TRUE SHAME

YOUR OS IS REALLY LAME

YOU DON’T OWN YOUR COMPUTER

YOUR COMPUTER OWNS YOU

WINDOWS 3.1 1992

Your Os is as fun as a lobotomy

And is designed as well as a ford pinto

IT LOOKS LIKE A LOW BUDGE KDE DESKTOP

LINUX COULD MOP THE FLOOR WITH YOU

THE RISE OF LINUX DESKTOP 2022!

I LEAVE YOU IN YOUR SHAME

LYLING IN YOUR COFFIN BILL GATES TO BLAME

Linus Torvald was right

A computer is like air-conditioning

It becomes useless when you open windows

That is all

I leave you to dwell in your non open source

Propriety Hell

During her son's junior year, Lippman [Richard Stallman's mom] says she scheduled an appointment with a therapist. The therapist expressed instant concern over Stallman's unwillingness to write papers and his run-ins with teachers. Her son certainly had the intellectual wherewithal to succeed at Harvard, but did he have the patience to sit through college classes that required a term paper? The therapist suggested a trial run. If Stallman could make it through a full year in New York City public schools, including an English class that required term papers, he could probably make it at Harvard. Following the completion of his junior year, Stallman promptly enrolled in summer school at Louis D. Brandeis High School, a public school located on 84th Street, and began making up the mandatory art classes he had shunned earlier in his high-school career.

By fall, Stallman was back within the mainstream population of New York City high-school students. It wasn't easy sitting through classes that seemed remedial in comparison with his Saturday studies at Columbia, but Lippman recalls proudly her son's ability to toe the line.

"He was forced to kowtow to a certain degree, but he did it," Lippman says. "I only got called in once, which was a bit of a miracle. It was the calculus teacher complaining that Richard was interrupting his lesson. I asked how he was interrupting. He said Richard was always accusing the teacher of using a false proof. I said, 'Well, is he right?' The teacher said, 'Yeah, but I can't tell that to the class. They wouldn't understand.'"

Oh Man !!
