What people really want is to not have to change anything - neither about their lives, nor about themselves.
They want to live in a perpetual 2005 where Windows is forever usable and still just an operating system. Where they feel happy and comfortable in their environment and their skills and abilities.
And I get that, because I feel it too.
But sometimes you have to change yourself, in order to change your world.
I mean if you’re dead set on it you can get a lot of modern things running on windows xp, chromium browsers, dx10/11 games, discord, etc. it’s a nightmare and you’ll have a ton of headaches (especially with the dx10/11 stuff, apparently, I’ve never tried any of this) but it’s possible
I mean to be clear I don’t do it. The only computer I run xp on is an old tektronik mainframe that only has lan access and needs proprietary software to work that only runs on xp
I don’t really count that though since i literally only use it for the one app that allows the logic analyzer and oscilloscope cards to work
The way you wrote it, there is no formatting distinction between emphasis (nonbinary) and stage directions (laugh track). I suggest you use something else for one of these, preferably the latter:
u might even say its a nonbinary choice *laugh track*

This is Lemmy, which is a byproduct of Reddit, and both of them have generally devolved into worlds of black and white only, although here tends to at least still have some nuance.
Unpopular opinion, but it’s also fine to hate having AI being added to a tried and true industry standard. FOSS is great, and I use many FOSS programs, but it’s often a decade behind in features, compatibility, & stability.
My dude, you can be mad at AI and use a FOSS alternative - best of both worlds
Yea, not everything is a binary choice.

There are also hacked/modified XP builds floating around based off the source code leaks that backport some of the modern Windows OS features.
Still not an “easy” experience though.
Anything to avoid using linux, eh?

Feel free to use a 20 year old distro that never updated.

Please use different formatting for emphasis and non-speech. I recommend escaping the asterisks with backslashes for the latter.
whata wrong with asterisks? they made the text italic as i wanted it to be

Except for… context? I’m constantly annoyed by grammar/spelling online and even I say you’re going too far.
When it comes to computing, technically everything is a binary choice.
except for encryption
I wanted to disagree with you. But I also wanted a sandwich.

It’s catching, I tell you!
Yeah, but some things are. It’s like, things are either a binary choice or they’re not. Whoa 🤯
Have you met end users before?
Too many times.

Or you can use AI and FOSS - optimization of both worlds!
I don’t want hallucinations and lies in my open source
It wouldn’t be used to fact check you know.
I rather like AI to fold my proteins.
