This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Download video game for free

Default search engine DOESN'T change because I was using the Free and Open Source™ operating system, GNU/Linux

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux + Dogpile + AltaVista + AOL

So many toolbars while in reality you need only one...

What am I looking at..

[–] moriquende@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Before you paid for "free" software with your data, you used to pay by agreeing to install a search bar in your browser. Usually you just uninstalled it directly afterwards. Not this guy though.

This kind of thing is what got me into actually reading install wizards instead of clicking next, next, agree, next, yes, install, finish. I learned I could just uncheck those agree/install boxes and still install the software I actually wanted without all the extra crap. That's one trend from the 00s and early 10s I do not miss.

Wait until you hear about kernel level anticheat for competitive games

Surely the default search engine in internet explorer in your prefix would have changed.

I looove CMD windows popping up at boot 😍😍

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

AMD's auto updater does this. But it pops up and closes instantly so I have no idea if it's actually working or just crashing.

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

It freaks me out every time I see it on my rig with the damn bloated ass drivers now.

I'm supposed to be clean. But it feels like computer herpes.

In reality 2/3 or more of the world population has it, but nobody wants to admit or believe they do despite science saying differently lol.

One time pirated some video editing software and after rebooting my Steam had janky early 2000s sidebar ads.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 months ago

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Have you tried Bing lately?

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Fuck, I remember when I was using Bing religiously unironicaly in the early 2010s during my Extremist Microsoft Loyalist phase.

[–] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Loyalism, sure... We all know what's the only reason to use Bing.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

I'm farming Microsoft Reward points with nonsensical searches for Overwatch coins. That's the only true reason to use Bing

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

Good pork results.
