The kind of people who think "gay" is still an insult and haven't joined us in the 21st century yet.

So do something about it instead of expecting the rest of us to. Devs are people just like you. They have lives and real jobs.

What is your solution?

Did you forget the part where everybody is getting it for free and devs aren't getting paid to do this shit? If you want your hand held, use Windows or MacOS.

Bill Gates admirable? Did we grow up in the 90s in the same dimension? Him and Windows were the butt of almost every IT joke, and there was his whole thing of never doing anything original or innovative except gobbling up companies and tech who were. Then the court battles. Those were a pretty big thing, even as a teen I followed the progress of it on the news. Then holding the whole web back for almost a decade as we had to deal with the monopoly of IE.

He was already in mid-life in the 80s. I hardly consider that being a product of it. Motherfucker is old.

He names things like I named my 90s teenage AIM accounts.

From one of the comments:

Security settings, for them to have any power at all to block malware, have to be default on and unable to be bypassed by the end user (because the end user will bypass them if they get in the way of whatever task/job they have to do right now).

Emphasis mine.

Are people that cucked now that they're like "yes, please daddy, lock me out of my own machine"?

I've set Raspberry Pis to auto-reboot themselves at night if they are being used for headless network services that need to be available 24/7, just to clear out memory leaks or other things that may have gotten locked up. Not sure if that's duct tape or just a standard practice. They aren't the most stable things sometimes. They're known for power supply and SD card issues.
