  • The original usage of the word “outlaw” used to refer to a status given to a person as a punishment for failing to show up to court after being given multiple chances. It was a severe punishment. This status meant that they would no longer be subjected to law, but also that they would no longer be protected by it. Anyone could do anything they wanted to an outlaw and would not be prosecuted for it.

    Trump just made himself an outlaw. If he is no longer being held accountable by law, he shouldn’t be protected by it either.

  • I have a copy of Windows 10 LTSC that I have installed on a virtual machine just in case I need the one last program that I use that I cannot get to work on Linux.

    Lately I upgraded my machine and had to reinstall everything. As I was installing Windows on my VM, it started demanding that I create an account and wouldn’t let me proceed without one, asked me to associate third party accounts to my OS and was generally being extremely intrusive and forceful in ways I didn’t remember it being before, like opening Edge and forcing me to click through an introduction that I didn’t want without giving me the option to close it. I then realized that I had forgotten to disable network access to my VM and that Windows had downloaded updates during the install.

    I immediately destroyed that VM and started over again, this time without allowing it to connect to internet. Suddenly the experience was far better.

    The moment I had let Windows connect to the internet it had thoroughly enshittified itself. It let me appreciate how badly Microsoft has enshittified Windows 10 over the years ever since its release. We are far away from the Windows 7 days.
