Too bad that's not the great America some people wants to bring back. Nobody would mind this one.

I always had a windows system around (for gaming, so it was kind of mandatory for a while), so I had a minimum level of know-how to fix most common issues on windows.
I've been telling people asking me for help that I would never be able to help them with W11, as I won't be touching it at all. Not even for work. It finally convinced quite a few that they did not need anything more than a linux box with a browser and libreoffice. Feels nice.
The number of things that are blocked on my machine for youtube, be it the UI, the network requests, and some of the content, is ever increasing. Another one on the pile I guess.
You really should not think that well-known people ending up being terrible is a generational thing :/
Public service can handle large scale renting situations, ensure that the lodgings are kept up to standard, and limit the ever increasing price of rent by not being profit-driven. Individual landlords that are out there making a profit on something that only gain value and usually requires minimal upkeep (that some don't even do) are parasites, plain and simple.
But the concept of public services acting for the well being of others is not well understood in some countries, I guess.
Sure. Having the means to pay something once, and have it be repaid multiple times back with little to no expense, sometimes not even the bare minimum to remain "legal" housing, is a "service".
Making money on the back of someone else with little to no work of yours is parasitic. Having enough money at one point in life to become a parasite doesn't change anything.
It certainly does work, until you look at numbers and they are either negligible, or great until they stop being great quickly.

I would not call that a consensus on "it does work".

10 minutes to boil a cup of water? How is that considered good in any way?
Some vulnerable people (yes, that include kids) are manipulated and cut from external contacts, and sometimes online services are their only way to communicate. A lot of such services could fall under the "social media" category indiscriminately, making it harder to use, and cutting their only source of communications.
Think like countries banning TOR and the like to root out journalist, but on a smaller scale.

That's the support forums. It gets worse with actual support, that goes all chummy friendly, adds emoji and exclamation marks randomly. I would not have been surprised if my last exchange with MS Support ended with "tee hee".
They're weird.
