Have Windows users ever wanted a single thing they added since XP?

The new terminal for example is a rather neat improvement over the old command prompt, especially with the integration of Linux systems. Winget also is rather nice. Just two examples. So yeah with all the valid criticism Microsoft deserves for quite a bit of policies, I don't think your hyperbole holds up.

As long as it's a easily toogled off as the search bar is, I don't mind.

Them getting rid of the ability to have different windows of the same kind with full title bar next to each other IMHO is a much bigger pain.

I mean where do you draw the line at making the pregnant woman 100% responsible for anything that happens while she is pregnant?

Oh that's very easy. The line is drawn at being rich and white.

The cruelty against poor and preferably non-white women is the whole point of such laws.

No worries, it's quite an odd behaviour. It was the same back on Reddit. No idea if there is a good reason for it or if they copied it to be the same as with Reddit.

Next time use two line breaks after each line and it will work.

Well if you say so, MenacingPerson.

Why do you think I want you to not say this? That's of course absolutely fine if you prefer a smaller community with all it's pros and cons.

I just don't know any way how your last sentence could come true with what we know about social media.

I don't see how. Stuff which interests a very small percentage of people obviously results in a lot less people interested in it on a much smaller platform. You would need to specifically target and convince people of such niche interests to come on over. That doesn't seem likely.

Loads of people are bad for stuff that's very popular. But they also allow niche communities to build up. The later is what I miss about the Fediverse.

But that doesn’t happen, and that’s how they have us all by the balls.

Well that's very easy when one party openly is working to destroy the whole democratic system.

There’s more than two parties to choose from.

Technically true, but there is no real choice. The US doesn't have a proportional voting system but uses first past the post voting. This by default will result in a two party system. If one party splits up or loses voter to a third party, the remaining party will utterly dominate the politics until one of the other party comes up on top again.

Sane countries do have a proportional voting system which allows several parties to flourish.
