    Microsoft is very kind to let the user log in to their operating system and look around and feel at home. It’s like being in a computer hotel and you have a room as long as you keep paying, but you are a guest in your computer.

      Microsoft: we’ll put your personal devices in a fucking HOA!

      Apple: same, but we’ll mow the fucking grass.

      Linux: fuck off. You are all ghetto trash. Here are the tools to address your problems. Use them or don’t. I don’t care.

      Google: ….people still like chrome and YouTube right?

      Netflix: piracy is for nerds! We will curate our library so you always have to find something else to watch, since what you paid for isn’t going to be there tomorrow.

      Apple: we have TV shows too and they don’t disappear!

      Amazon: but nobody watches you. With us, we have free shipping and hazbin hotel. We are basically glitch!

      Glitch: the fuck you are. Watch knights of Guinevere to see what everyone actually thinks of all of you.

      Me: …did I accidentally quadruple dose my adderall today?

    I think the thing that irks me more than anything else about Windows is that it always refers to itself as “us”. I hate it.

      Barely related tangent, but maybe kinda related:

      The Seattle Light Rail.

      The train cars have computerized voice speakers for announcing stops and such.

      When you get to a stop, they say ‘Please use the exit doors on my left/right’, depending on which station, where the platform is, etc.

      But it’s her left. Not the left.

      … The train owns its own body and is apparently alive.
