Reply to TikTok at Risk: Canada starts investigating platform over data collection from young users by HeroldMcHerold

Ok so in Canada, a new law that requires your Internet Service Provider to hand over all activity you may have had to "authorities" without warrant and without any documentation. Your "In Private" or supposedly "anonymous" browsing must be made available to the "authorities" such as illegal activities as reading anti-Woke publications.

The UI is just off putting. I hated 10 at first but I've grown to like it, in the lastest form it doesn't feel radically different coming from 7. Windows 11 just feels like a phone OS pretending to be a desktop, feels like Windows 8 all over again. I really don't get why they can't just leave things more or less alone in that regard, give me a goddamn recognizable pop-up start menu and a task bar like we had for a couple decades.

I use it as my daily driver for everything. I've been designing my house for the past two years. I just don't recognize this picture you paint.

Have I spent a few hours fiddling with config files to get some esoteric bit of hardware working? Yes. Have I spent a few hours fiddling with drivers and the registry to get some esoteric bit of hardware working in Windows? Again yes. Once, when I set the system up.

IME Linux, once set up stays set up. It's Windows that randomly breaks, chokes itself on it own bloat and commits suicide by update.
