    My Boomer parents never used social media to begin with (unless forwarded chain emails count?). I did manage to get them to ditch cable TV and mindlessly vegetating on Fox News all day, but they still (unfathomably) prefer OTA TV to streaming so they’re still in Sinclair’s thrall. IDK what else to do at this point.







  • That’s right: it is a fucking tool, which means nothing the user does to it or with it could possibly count as “abuse” by the user. An OS is supposed to exist to do exactly the computer owner’s bidding; no more, no less.

    But Microsoft certainly doesn’t see it that way. Instead, Windows exists to do Microsoft’ bidding, computer owner’s rights be damned. It’s Microsoft that’s abusing you, by whoring you out to advertisers and subverting your property against you, when you use Windows.
