The data is never getting deleted in the first place, "delete" just needs to set a flag for non-visibility. The language used in their disclaimer leads me to believe exactly that is what is happening.

People who have been paying attention have already moved. Anyone who's left will need a missile dropped directly on top of their head by Elon Musk or Steve Huffman personally. They will leave when the websites can no longer support themselves and shut down their servers, forcing the users out.

There's no way this idea hasn't been explored in some side comic, right?

Ah yes, another top-quality high effort post from Hexbear. How do you guys always do it?

OP needs to learn some context and nuance but this annoying garbage helps no one, contains no information, no usable knowledge of any sort including even just a rebuttal of the original statement and proves your lack of maturity. Congratulations, you've just made the internet worse and accomplished nothing of value with it. And people wonder why most of us defederate or block Hexbear - with selves like this, who needs enemies?

People lashing out about Linux terminal commands and people editing their own Windows registry entries are not the same people, lmao

A regular Windows user being instructed to enter the registry would have a stroke and shit their pants when opening regedit, and those users would never have found the tech support thread instructing them to change a registry key in the first place. Someone who already knows about but is uncomfortable editing reg keys may fall into the group you're describing, but they would probably have an identical discomfort about regedit or about unknown terminal commands. Someone who is comfortable editing reg keys already has a Linux install on their home machine.

That's pretty much exactly it. Windows as a whole is now catering to the lowest common denominator. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially as more and more of the world population are adopting computers (or being required to adopt them, for work). But in trying to make things easier for beginners they're damaging some of the tools that we experts are used to. It's a give-and-take sort of situation, and I'm not as livid about it as some professionals seem to be, but the fact remains that Windows is situating itself to be used by... idiots sounds rude, so we'll say "beginners". Folks that don't know where or how to find what they're looking for. Web search in the start menu, and Cortana-now-Copilot are two prime examples of that - tools that "nobody" really needed in Windows but that help someone who has absolutely zero idea what they're doing get things done, even if poorly or inefficiently.

I'm not upset at their attempt to add accessibility to Windows, but I do wish they wouldn't make their existing product worse in the attempt.

30% and DBZ is one of my favorite media franchises. This is damn tricky.

Hey I made some fan art of a marvel character, should marvel pay me?

When they use that fan art in the next official marvel movie, yes absolutely they should.

You know as well as I do that people are sitting at home on the couch far more in the modern day than ever before in human history.

I've known some drummers that were talented. Smart? Ehhh, now that's pushing it.

What drummers DO have, though, is killer upper body stamina.
