But it's still getting security updates!

Redditors are basically just Karens given authority; 100% letter of the law, 0% the spirit of it.
 
Would they have also yelled at him if he mentioned that he opted into Extended Support Updates, which is supported until 2028, or if it was Windows 10 IoT LTSC, which is supported until 2032?
Probably, because I think the deletion was triggered by the words "Windows 10" being present in the text at all. And yeah, given those options you mentioned, it makes the rule even more fucking retarded "Just upgrade to windows 11 so bill gates can screenshot your desktop every 5 minutes, chud."

I unwillingly downgraded to 11 recently, and I fuckin' hate it.

Although his definition of "cleanest G35" probably doesn't take rust into account.
 
But anyway, my most recent experience. My friend is having some weird issues with his internet connection. It's a very uncommon, odd issue that I can't help with, so he posted on r/techsupport. He wrote a big, detailed explanation of his issue, including links to screenshots of his connection chart, windows event viewer, and more. However, when he mentioned his specs he mentioned he's on windows 10. His post was automatically an-hero'd, because "Windows 10 is abandoned software. We do not allow posts about abandoned software. Please upgrade for your own safety."
Redditors can be so obnoxiously unhelpful with tech support questions. When my father passed away his Pixel phone was PIN locked and I learned that a factory reset doesn't clear the PIN. Not wanting to throw out an expensive phone, I had look around Reddit to see if others had asked if there was a way to reset the PIN. There were indeed people asking that question, but every answer was along the lines of 'There's no legitimate reason why you'd want to reset the PIN on a phone. You must have stolen it!'. One of the 'illegitimate' reasons someone gave was similar to mine: their relative had dementia and couldn't recall their PIN. Fortunately, I eventually found a very dodgy looking jeet video on Youtube that demonstrated an exploit to reset the PIN.

Imagine spending your days dunking on Orange Man just to get lumped in with him by the rest of the planet who just see America as a monolith.

You're just as guilty as the chuds in the eyes of your supposed "allies" across the world.
Collective guilt is very progressive and forward thinking! The weak American mind simply is not ready for intelligence of this level!
 
That actually makes me wonder which secret police was the worst/most efficient.

I understand the Romanian Securitate had a crazy amount of informants as well.
soviet cheka (and its various successor organisations) was the most bloodthirsty and brutal by far
east german stasi was nightmarish because they spied on everyone and everything all the fucking time
nazi gestapo was rather boring and not very involved (unless you were jewish then they were hell on earth)
DINA in pinochets chile had a reputation for severe cruelty and sadism

Fuck, you just pinpointed another thing I hate about reddit. Rampant moralfagging by people who have so little life experience that they cannot fathom someone might have a legitimate reason for doing something "against the rules". They just wanna be hall-monitors and condescend you for any reason they can, and if you mention doing something that could be done for nefarious reasons or good reasons, they default to smugly calling you a criminal and telling the teacher to give you detention.

There was a post debating the morality of locking late-stage dementia patients in their homes. As you can imagine, the moral outrage was in abundance. "What if there's a fire? It's ILLEGAL DETAINMENT!" They piled on that guy and called him every name but a racial slur. He deleted his whole account. But as someone who does help take care of someone with late stage dementia, I can tell you this. Some dementia patients, particularly the able-bodied ones, leave you with zero choice. The guy we take care of got kicked out of his nursing home for pulling a knife on a nurse, and she made sure to word her report on the incident in such a way that even lockdown behavioral nursing homes would not accept him. So he had to go back home, and he couldn't get round-the-clock in-home care. It was up to family and friends. So they stay with him in shifts all day, and have wifi cameras on around the house at night to watch him while he sleeps. 4 times in a week, he woke up at 2AM, confused, and ran outside in freezing temperatures. Each time, a family member would get in their car and rush over to get him back inside.

Behind this guy's house is a river, and in front of it is a pretty steep cliff. The likelihood of him falling and killing himself in one of his escape attempts is much, much higher than the possibility of a house fire or any other event which would necessitate he go outside. Is locking him in his house at night moral? Probably not. Is it the only way to keep him safe? Yeah, probably. But try and explain to a redditor "I'd rather risk a highly unlikely housefire than the extremely likely chance that he falls in to the river and freezes to death. In his circumstance those really are the only two options, all others have been exhausted."

You should've just explained to them that you're a Black so they'd help you without accusing you of stealing the phone. They wouldn't want to be accused of RACISM on Reddit, would they!?? :smug:

Also it's a fucking dark day in hell when Jeet videos actually help you with your tech issue. I've been there, my friend.

Automod and its consequences have been a disaster for reddit culture. All it takes is one autistic janny to tank the usability of any sub

On a semi-related note, most of the people on the autism/aspergers related subreddits generally seem to be pretentious, boring, annoying or insufferable AF and think the everyone should walk on eggshells around them . They come off as the type of people you don't even want to be around, let alone actually be friends with.

It does seem like the only time they ever pay attention is when they spot an opportunity to dogpile on you so they can feel morally superior about themselves.

The other time? They can't even be bothered to read the fucking OP. I've made a couple of posts and every single time people have given answers that I had already stated in the OP. You can ask for movie suggestions and put "except X because I've already seen it" and most of the replies will be some mouthbreathers recommending X anyway.

And these are the people telling you to "do your due diligence".
 
I remember ages ago (i think 10 years ago?) there was a youtube vid of a guy reading reddit comments. It was about what japanese find weird in america (or the west, dont remember). Every comment was just "well Im not japanese but i heard that XY" or "Im not japanese but a japanese guy in my college struggled with the coffee machine once". Between the incessant need to comment even if they have nothing to add, and their posts being useless to learn more about the subject of the question, it was perfectly reddit.

Of course google thought i actually liked the video and started pushing "guy reads out reddit comments on various subjects" aggressively.
Redditors love to hear themselves speak so they chime in every post to give they're opinions with very little knowledge on the subject.

Hyperfixations were one of the few autistic traits described by these self-diagnosed reddit autists that was actually something that sounded autistic. Like the kind of people who will memorize and rattle off extremely specific, insular facts about some niche topic. Granted, that's still a very surface level type of thing mainly from TV and stuff, but it at least is autistic.

But then they started degrading the definition of hyperfixation to mean "something I like," (and started calling it 'special interests,' but that's besides the point) rather than "something I obsess over, sometimes to the point where it negatively impacts me intellectually and socially since I do not want to engage in any other topic." And now they're trying to make the reverse true? Not liking something is a sign of autism? Having preferences is proof of the 'tism? They're describing ordinary human behaviors :story:

I'd call these people autistic as an insult (as in retarded,) but do I think they actually have autism? No, they're just trying to force their normal "boring," ""neurotypical"" behaviors to fit into the mold of being autistic. They want to have that 'autism' label because it's cute, and quirky, and fashionable, or whatever. I guarantee not liking predictable films or finding certain topics boring is not some quality that's unique to autists lmao
 
the reddit-culture of having a million rules on each sub is the most obnoxious thing on planet earth
I'm on a new account after my old one was permabanned (I use it for trolling when I'm drunk, prease understanduru.) So I'm basically stuck in "noob friendly" subreddit hell because nearly every single one autobans you unless your account is a year old with a niggerillion karma.

Every single god damn one has a 12 volume encyclopedia's worth of rules. "Your post MUST contain a flair" "PedoTranny32 made a similar post 8 years ago, make sure yours is unique!" "your post MUST include a question mark at the end" "Your post doesn't seem open-ended enough to allow for discussion!" "This sub is currently in 'faggot friday' mode, no posts by new users are allowed!" "A recent post from this sub recently got popular, no new users allowed!" "You don't have enough karma" "your account isn't old enough!" "your account has enough karma but you don't have enough karma from this specific subreddit, try telling other users how much you believe they're women first!" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
And then when you finally do manage to post something, they accuse you of being a Russian bot because your account is only a month old.
 
Collective guilt is very progressive and forward thinking! The weak American mind simply is not ready for intelligence of this level!
You'd think so, but then you have half the country believing some caucasian guy who was born in Finland and moved to the U.S. in the 2010s should pay reparations to black people.
