Hey @teriyakiburns, when are you going to say something in this thread for once?
Stop hiding behind stickers and say what's on your mind.

Installing Mint teleports you directly to the summit of Mt Dunning-Krueger. Most casual Windows users don't think they're computer whizzes. But in Linux world, everybody thinks they're a 1337 h4xx0r. The one that really sticks out in my mind was one of our forum Linux evangelists had disabled device-level encryption on his Linux machine because he was adamant that the TPM on his CPU is a phone-home device...er, phone-Microsoft device that Redmond uses to spy on people.

You just triggered my flashbacks to all those Secure Boot conversations on Slashdot. Thanks man, because I really needed that.
You know, looking back I think Secure Boot might have been the real start of my journey out of the Linux echo chamber. I'd look at what people were saying and I'd look at reality and the two were just not the same...

Oh, the amount of over the top bullshit people made up and proclaimed as gospel about Microsoft Pluton and how it's the most evil hardware backdoor ever implemented... while running Linux on a IME/PSP enabled CPU. And of course if you point out how idiotic that is you'll have people like @teriyakiburns give you mean stickers because they just can't help themselves from going into threads they don't like and reading things they don't like.
No teriyakiburns, it's not some epic own that I replied to it. It's a pathetic look that you have to go into the Windows thread to give mean stickers to any posts shittalking Linux. But do keep going, that only proves that Linux users are fragile and can't take any criticisms of Linux, even if it's not in their special hugbox thread. You're the only group of users on this forum that does this shit. Lurking the Windows thread to leave mean stickers whenever your holy deity is insulted.

Epic own, no. Small win, yes. Advice from someone who occasionally voices an anti-Ukraine position in the US politics thread, take your stickers and move on. It's healthier.
Besides, they serve a useful purpose. If rather than give you or I negative stickers, every person who did so instead quoted and replied, threads would get shitted up fast. They're a means of avoiding that. Nobody actually uses them to evaluate the merits of what you're saying if that helps.
Threads been derailed enough but you genuinely can't keep sperging out like this at perceived slights and then be surprised or offended people keep giving you negative reacts and egging you on. Its worse cause you give dumb reacts to people you disagree with anyway, so why does it even matter. Just stop being an autistic faggot and jerk off some more about Total Commander or something more bearable to read instead.

I've seen regulars from the Linux thread going in here and leaving stickers on anything that criticizes Linux for months now, and not just my posts mind you. Not like you'd know since you've been here for less than a year. But I get it, do it long enough for someone to burst and point it out and then point at them acting like they're crazy, and maybe throw a report or two along the way once they get the reaction they wanted. No different from how troons operate, it's pretty funny actually.

Teri literally got mad an the Internet.
For example, I will often give a Horrifying sticker to posts that describe something horrifying, but that doesn't mean the post itself is Le Bad. I am actually thankful for such posts most of the time.
Thus, I do not think stickers should count as positive/negative feedback. There could be a second "Thank you/Fuck you" button instead that fulfils that role.
I think it shouldn't be anybody's business which stickers you give to others, but there is a systemic issue here with the way those stickers are categorized as positive/negative feedback that affects your KF Social Score.

There is an issue distinguishing between marking the content of a post or the poster. That's why for example I will often use Agree rather than Like when the subject itself is bad but the poster states things well. I will often use Lunacy because it tends to lack this poster-association whilst I will use Dumb mostly to comment on the poster. I'm not sure everyone has evolved the same distinctions but I think there's some common mindset on it on the site. Of course, with any culture the rate of immigration can affect how solid the culture remains...

I see. Now, a bit more on topic, disabling IME actually worked at least partly for me on two of my four post-2005 Intel machines. I do get a message, after the BIOS screen and before the OS loading screen, that IME has been disabled or cannot be found. I have no idea if the backdoor is really closed, though. I would actually like to be able ot test it and get access to that secret web server.

Now that it's just Positive/Negative it doesn't matter since you'd have to be really special to get a negative score. But when you show a pattern of going into a specific thread which topic you dislike to leave negative reactions on posts you dislike but not posting in it says something about you, you know?

I get what you mean, but regarding me specifically, I do get through threads just to read stuff and learn new things, and when it's a thread about weird and horrifying things people have experienced, I would naturally leave stickers that might get counted as negative. Probably the best way to avoid that would be to not leave any stickers at all.

Its always half of linux trannies going "use linux, is so much better, it does everything and never breaks", then you see those linux trannies looking for the best version of windows. They always come crawling back, when they realise linux is shit.

On topic question (Windows 10 Enterprise IOT LTSC):
Is there any way to move the shortcuts for "Settings" and "Windows Security" inside of folders in the start menu? I've looked it up but nothing works, and I want to try and avoid using third-party start menus (for now, at least).

I think this is probably pretty on point. tbh, i like linux because everything is a plain text file and i know bash better than cmd or powershell. It doesn't really get that much deeper than that tbh
