Not at all true. Not worth the money and time for ‘some’ people.

Software excluded. What do you think this forum is for? It’s here to alleviate peoples needs.
If you create a software that fills the niche of users that aren’t happy, your excluding the ones that are happy. Aren’t you?

Edit; The current ”organization” isn’t disorganized, it’s having difficulty creating a balance. There is no “conspiracy” that’s just rubbish.
What you’re saying is that you’re frustrated? Is this why you’re switching to Linux? Because Linux is perfect?

This is a universal project not only for computers but everything which is repairable. Including humans.

There is a conspiracy it's called Profit to profit is to conspire against the uneducated. If you believe otherwise, you may be naive.

There is no organization, there is pure madness, in a complex system there are two possibilities optimized flow and unoptimized flow.

No need to discuss this, I am not going to nullify the online forums with my project idea, check out Wikipedia organization and rules, right to repair laws, principles of 'the law', DAO principles, and AI decision making principles. Hopefully this klnowledge will give you the perspective. But going to the gym daily is also required 'reading material' so take care.

There is no conspiricy. It’s right out in the open. Nobody is hiding anything, it’s impossible to do so in todays society and no corporation cares that you know. Thanks, but I am all out of tin-foil.

"There is a conspiracy...."

By definition this is somebody's (usually deluded) view of the world.

Frankly who cares a damn except deluded persons?

I choose to see two types, those that listen to their Dr’s and those who do not.

If you’re looking to start a revolution, you’ve possibly come to the wrong place. I wouldn’t try the Linux community either, they’ll tear you to pieces… I think

I own a Dell 530 Inspiron with a genuine Windows 7 32 bit DVD from Dell with sticker that I upgraded to Win 10 with without a hitch. I never thought that I'd need it and I let my children use it when they were younger. Then one day I was having the time of my life with flashing an HBA card in IT mode. Both my friend and myself could not figure out what was wrong so we decided to try the card out on the DELL. We popped in the card, inserted the USB stick, booted it up and flashed the DOS to the card. The card worked after that like it came out of the factory. Turned out we needed an older PC with a REAL BIOS capable of executing 32 bit instruction.

People wonder why I hang onto old hardware and this is just one example of how old hardware has bailed out my new hardware, saving it from the mountain of e-waste that precious few care to consider. I think I know which group you're talking about there, Wizmeister. I've mentioned them a few times in this forum already and if I broke the rules doing so I apologize. I think I'll ask the crew over at Level 1 Techs about Get Into PC and see what they have to say. I do know that they're great for resurrecting old PCs and laptops and helping students who can't afford software they need to further themselves in college or whatever. One of my daughters uses a Gen 2 OS without issue and Kaspersky gave it a clean bill of health so I'm thinking it's safe. Like you, I won't post the link here because I don't want to violate any rules but I think people should be free to openly discuss such things in an adult forum without fear of censorship.

As for Win 10 Pro on those old laptops, never say "last" unless you want them to last. There's still Linux.

or even XP

I find that screenshot incredible, to think that Windows XP was so intelligent, it could see news from the future.

That's why there isn't enough space in my Bank to hold all my gains from the Stock Market and Horse racing bets - plus the odd lottery winning or two !!!!

Would cost more to send it 20,000KM from one end of the planet to the other !!!!!!

That said I'm thinking of buying China, and offloading 'OZ to your Kiwi colleagues across the water as a free early Xmas prezzie. !!!

I do like though the VB (Victoria Bitter) so I'd grab the brewery first of course.

Sorry, DAO - Decentralized autonomous organization.
The other DAO has interesting concepts however they may be over-simplified. Much like how I over-simplified the concept of "conspiracy" to be easier for you to understand what I am saying.

You mentioned I should not "try Linux community they will tear me to pieces" They are welcome to say their worst I have extremely low expectations from "them" as long as they keep my systems stable, they can be obscenely insane as always, lol.

There is no "community engagement" required for such a platform project as I described. It's just work but Im too lazy to start this project so I was thinking to give it to someone to make. Not you, don't worry. No idea who when how etc. Basically I don't care , just saying what I am thinking based on the first post in the thread , so that hopefully whoever reads this thread will be a bit more knowledgeable about what really IS and not what .... have been marketed to them as a consumer, as a walking wallet to be exploited.

As long as "the Linux community" knows the US constitution how and why it works, then they can get crazy it won't "tear me to pieces"

As a matter of fact I am worried I kicked their a$$ recently arguing about some core things. I better keep quiet and not discourage their projects and focus on my own.

I totally agree. They maybe should wonder why companies like stardock etc are doing so well.

The other DAO

Seeing as Bew-Lee was mentioned earlier in the thread and you talk about fixing all problems, this other DAO seems more relevant IMO. After all, it was the other Lee who, when he said that all true martial arts are Daoist, meant that in order to defeat your opponent you have to harmonize with your opponent. Bruce Lee is the other Lee.

Hi folks
I think as they say in the aviation industry about tired pilots " Maximum Impairment Fatigue Index" has been reached when analysing plane accidents if Pilot error is suspected. --- I think this thread has got to the same point now. As a person with a PPL I can certainly testify that I've seen many commercial pilots looking a lot more stressed out than they should be these days. Seems cuts and corporate profits are the only things that matter in C21. I'm 100% no socialist but this lot of world politicians and corporate CEO's are going to mean that it all ends in tears for all of us.

On that pessimistic note I'm going to find some alternate joy in the local "hostelry" even though some billionaire Canadian Hedge fund operative (nothing against Canada though -- beautiful and friendly country) will probably be getting 70% of the price of my "fluid of choice", our Govt (which I didn't vote for as it seems to advocate pulling out of NATO -- rediculous decision but not supported thankfully by most Icelanders) another 27% while the poor bar owner gets a paltry 3%.

It’s been going to end in tears for all of us since man picked up the first stick and clobbered the ”other guy”

At least nice looking women here (are we even allowed to say that anymore in Woke controlled Gen-Z stuff) -- also men if that's your thing -- freest country on the planet bar none here -- any sort of status you care to use will show it -- if only we had better weather -- no on 2nd thoughts -- we'd be overrun !!!

Over and out - but 'OZ always gets a lot of support whenever they play England at anything !!! -- The old Cod wars of the 1960's haven't still been forgotten yet.

I hate that myself. Used to be all the Office Apps would show under one folder in Start.

That said, I doubt it's a "Windows 11 Start Menu" thing as it's the same under Windows 10. This appears to be the way Office (for me 365) installs now

Anyway, I just pin the apps I use the most (Word, Excel, Outlook, Notes) to the Taskbar and go from there
