Ahoy Pie R8s!

Even though I use GNU/Linux exclusively we all need to maintain
a working version of Win11. After all, the world is composed of
retarded assholes and retarded assholes can only use Win11.

But my Win11 installation was getting somewhat "old." I installed
it way back in 2022 and things have changed since then (of course
I always have updates disabled and thus everything stays the same).

I therefore decided to install a newer Win11 version. I grabbed
a w4r3z of Windows 11 Pro, 25H2, build 26200.7462. The 8Gb d/l
was completed in a few short minutes but the burn to a USB drive
took almost 15 fucking minutes. That's 'cause the burn allows
the disabling of TPM, RAM, CoPilot, and all the other forced
crap. Kudos to the h4x0rs! (This also an "ancient" machine
being based on a Core i7 2600).

The install also required about 15 minutes and involved several
reboots (that's M$ crap for ya').

The activation went as smooth as silk, however, and now I have
a permanent Win11 and Orifice2024. Kudos to the h4x0rs!

But it is now several hours and I am still working my way through
that byzantine/rocco crap configuration mess that defines M$
lunacy.

In particular I need to disable that bullshit "Defender."
It used to be a matter of elevating to "Tusted Installer"
and then disabling the appropriate services, but that does
not work with this newer version. I disabled it via Group
Policy but the services are still running. I may need to
boot with a Gentoo Live USB and then delete the directory.

Anyway, I disabled updates even though I have no plans to
ever allow this Win11 to connect to the network. I can
transfer all files via "sneakernet" from GNU/Linux.

Again, kudos to all the global h4x0rs that allow M$ to
be so easily whipped.

Why would you use "warez" of *Microsoft's* OS? Are you that ignorant of
how Windows takes possession of your system? You're just giving them *permission* to fuck with you. I paid $200 to legitimately activate
Win11 Pro on this thing when it *came with* a gray-market 11 Pro license already, and they have to a very limited extent fucked with me *even
so*. That is because of who I am, I realize, but nevertheless, if
you're admittedly using "warez" Win11, I mean, you are not the computer science wizard you claim to be.

This newer Win11 is really fucked.

I d/led some h4x0r tools and then attempted to execute
them by "clicking" on them from File Explorer. I immediately
received a warning (this was before I disabled that stupid shit)
explaining that the files might be malware and that I could
not execute them.

So I immediately invoked Powershell, navigated to the relevant
directory (folder) and executed them via CLI. There was no problem.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I almost fell off my chair
with crippling laughter.

Smart job Micro$hit!

But I eventually disabled that security bullshit.

It requires a LONG TIME to beat this M$ junk into submission
but it can be done.

Whew baby! Only a supremely retarded dunce would desire to
use Micro$hit Winblows!

But as has been stated, one must be prepared to deal with
the retarded assholes of the world.

Win11 can be a great OS, actually. It's less so when it's pirated,
though, and these manhandling schemes with Rufus, to get around TPM,
show that some people simply want to claim Windows for its software, but
are willfully ignorant of or are outright trying to deconstruct
Microsoft's established patterns for how the OS is installed and used.
There's just not a good reason for this, ultimately, it's trying to orchestrate a husbandry of the OS that simply isn't necessary, if one
were humble, I do change important settings from the defaults, and such,
but forcing modifications to the Windows system as it's delivered is
just attempting to customize the product into something that ultimately
fails to retain the components that MS provides, it's running away from
what a complete Windows OS is. I, for one, want the experience to be fundamentally intact.

I've been pondering this koan for a little while now, and I haven't
had the "aha" moment yet. Maybe it can be found plumbing the depths
of "TINW"? Beats me.

BTW, I know you're excited about your latest MS Windows purchase,
but I can't see how that is on topic for colm.

Also, you didn't compare MS Windows to Linux, so it's off-topic
in cola, too.

Message-ID: <comp.os.linux.advocacy-RFD1@uunet.uu.net>

Summary from article:
Summary: comp.os.linux.advocacy is to be an unmoderated group for the discussion of the positive and negative sides of Linux and comparison
of Linux with other operating systems.

CHARTER:

The proposed group will provide a forum for the discussion of Linux.
In addition, it will allow comp.os.linux.misc to deal with
Linux-specific issues. Discussion will include (but not be limited to)
the discussion of the pros and cons of Linux and appliactions for
Linux, and the comparison of Linux with other operating systems and
enviromnets such as Microsoft DOS and Windows, SCO UNIX, Coherent,
NeXTstep, Macintosh System, etc. It will be an unmoderated forum.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _

(Here endeth this ancient history lesson.)

I've set fu2: cola for further discussion. Since you morphed
out of my kf once again, I can eagerly await your sagacious
remarks.

I thought that the OP made that very clear.

The dregs of the world, and especially the corporate dregs,
utilize software that have no GNU/Linux versions. To accommodate
these dregs, if the occasion should arrive, it requires
an M$ Win system at the ready. I will keep a dedicated machine
for that purpose.

I refer to professional software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks,
PSpice, etc.

When it comes to pro software, it is all about the GUI, and
the developers of these programs are so entrenched in M$ Win
GUI frameworks that they could never port to GNU/Linux. Never.

There are some notable exceptions (Mathematica, Maple, and
Matlab) but by and large the pro world runs on M$ Win.
This is regrettable. This is unfortunate. But it is
also reality.

I am not knocking GNU/Linux. I prefer it and use it for
much paid ($$$) pro work but the dregs of the world know
only M$ Win.

Thus, it is not inappropriate for the GNU/Linux advocate
to install Win11.

I don't

I had to "know it professionally" for a LONG
time. Big offices full of M$ boxes - and NOBODY
was gonna change, couldn't COPE.

Now the whole "back-end", I changed that to Linux
as fast as possible. Didn't even have M$ on my
personal box there. Good servers/networking/net/
routing/etc ... use Linux !

The new guys, they totally sold out to M$.

It's gonna BITE sooner or later - probably sooner.

But then they can BLAME it on M$ - "Not OUR Fault !!!".

Thus, it is not inappropriate for the GNU/Linux advocate
to install Win11.

Well that's OK because I am not a Linux/Unix advocate. I am a contented user.

Kinda agreed ... but SOME don't Get It.

M$ is a DISASTER of an OS. Apple, well, it's
JUST as greedy. It now plans to "lease" iPhones
and such - you NEVER own one, can NEVER pay
them off, NEVER quit. $$$ for Apple FOREVER now
matter HOW shitty they get.

Long long back, Bill Gates/M$ were sort of HEROES.
DOS 1.x/2.x/3.x were GOOD for the period and M$
wasn't all twisted about you copying their stuff
or compilers and such.

And then it all went SO BAD ...

At some point soon I'm gonna need to buy a
half-ass big-screen "phone". HATE 'em. Keep
a little FLIP as my mobile now. My carrier is
not gonna support my great old landline much
longer - they've already raised the PRICE
insanely, hoping I'll quit. Clue, I'm NOT
gonna buy the new crap-phone from THEM - but
from another. Pref Android. Samsung phones
are gonna be IT.
