What, people are freaking out about #windows11 now?

That writing was already on the wall (in bold, italic, lots of !!!s) when I wrote this thing in 2021 - "The Impending Doom of Your Operating System Going to or Past 11, Versus the Lush Oasis of Open Source Systems" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/2021_wild_wild_world_of_windows.html about my then-new laptop and #openbsd support.

That machine is still quite usable with OpenBSD, thank you! #opensource #freesoftware #libresoftware (also https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-impending-doom-of-your-operating.html tracked, prettified)

@pitrh Open Source, generally, is motived by a desire to get things done. Proprietary is motived, generally, by a desire to cash in on the planned obsolesce cycle which drives modern consumerist capitalism. So, of course your OS requires the newest hardware, which, coincidentally, requires the newest OS, and this way to the great egress, sucker.
