This surely will have no negative consequences whatsoever, despite numerous existant studies showing drastic reduction in security and code quality at other companies that have attempted this.

Not content with unasked for evangelizing in Windows communities and posts, this Stallman's Witness tries their hand in an even less welcome locale.

Injured by the failure of their attempt, they seek sympathy back in friendlier climes.

Even so, why post this and not any one of countless other things?

Like I feel that you're missing a clear sign here. Most people would roll their eyes and move on. This is quite possibly the most "leopards ate my face" post in this community and yet it's being upvoted because "hooray tribalism" over something as asinine as OS (really kernel) choice.

Then why did you bother posting here complaining about it?

Instance admins can see your upvotes/downvotes, as in who specifically upvoted/downvoted something. As far as I'm aware, some front ends just make that information public.

Don't forget the clear cuckstool right next to the master bed.

Dead internet? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within the job hunting process?

Yes

(Github project supposedly for AI assisted mass job application, including using the AI to cater resume to job posting. God I'm terrified of ever having to return to the job market this is fucking insane.)

Consider the pyramids of Giza. On the one hand, they’re one of the wonders of the ancient world. On the other, barriers to entry for Egyptian pyramid construction have come down drastically since the twenty-sixth century BCE. If people in Egypt were to build the pyramids today, we’d look at them and say, “Cool?” They wouldn’t be impressive. But give me a human genomics pattern search engine that can generate predictive analytics modeling infectious disease growth through sub-Saharan Africa to help optimize ad targeting for end-of-life wearables, then yeah, okay, Egyptians: now we can talk.

That's it. Pack it up. I've read the best satire can offer.

Man, I just find the whole thing unfunny, and it feels like some fake forced viral thing. No hate on her trying to capitalize on it, I just don't find it funny and never did.

You care so little that you made a meme about it, and have now reposted a slightly edited version of it roughly a day later.

You can re-enable microsoft store etc with a single line of powershell if you really need.

Common Redist is used for "commonly redistributed" installers of other software the game relies on.

Like how sometimes when you install a game through steam and it also installs a Microsoft .net framework (because it needs that installed to run). In that case you'd the .net installer in the common redist folder. In this case, all those VCredist files.

OALinst is just an installer for OpenAL, a piece of audio processing software. A lot of games use it for handling positional audio, like something exploding to your left and behind you actually sounding like it exploded behind and to the left. Some games will also use it for more complicated audio things, like actually simulating sound echoes against the walls of a room and their material.
