What's especially troubling is that my rig and many others can run games like Cyberpunk 2077 in full path tracing at 4K, but apparently not Windows 11

You can't start carving exceptions into a universal principle like “everyone deserves a fair trial.”

I don't get it. Stay on the version that you still think is good. Nobody forces you to update. Just don't update Hugo if you don't need its new features? We're talking about a static HTML generator here, not some backend server that needs security updates. Why is it so complicated for people to NOT do a thing?

They don't really override each other but they act like stacked barriers, like a garage door blocking access to an open or closed car. Access is granted if every relevant layer allows it.

I think you are referring to the 'ask follow-up questions' toggle in the settings but it's not available on all devices to turn it off.

I use them a lot... Next I'll have to write like an asshole because AIs tend to be nice. :)

Grief is complex and deeply personal, and is not about fitting someone else's expectations... Losing a dog hits different because their presence is so genuine and uncomplicated. They provide unconditional comfort. That connection is usually way less complicated than the ones with have with people.

It's not that at all... Similar drawings of non-humanoid shapes like an ostrich or the map of Europe would have resulted in the exact same 'blindness'.

Good job! Is the layer with the cities names supposed to appear too? I would have a lot more fun having only countries names appear on the globe and trying to guess the location of the city within.

I haven't tried Windows 11 but on 10, a lot of these tweaks and opt-outs are available in the system settings now.

You can backup the registry or create restore points but I don't think that you can selectively revert these changes like a commit. If you don't intend to reinstall Windows often, I would just take the time to go through these settings manually instead to be on the safe side...

It makes their paragraphs hard to read regardless of the font.
