   And even software not written by microsoft seems to follow suit. Like winzip. used to be a simple, reliable tool that did one thing and did it well. Now its a complicated mess.

     @SnerkRabbledauber It's the natural evolution of proprietary software - it always tries to expand it beachhead on everyone's computer. It's a bit like a (wait for it) "cancer", albeit a digital one. I just feel sorry for most computer users that don't realise how exploited they are because they have nothing to which to contrast their experience.

     Wow, every time I'm forced to use a Microsoft technology (the bloody VisionFive2 RISC-V Debian image is held on OneDrive - why?), I puke in my mouth a little. It all seems so pointlessly complicated and yet functionally primitive at the same time. 🤢
