Honestly I just assumed it was bad because of the forced update from Win10 thing lol. Well, that and ads baked in.
If everyone was spread out onto different instances, and communities were based all over the fediverse, the decisions of one instance would be less impactful.
Win 12 is obligated to be good due to the "every other version of Windows" rule, which has been true forever.
I'm also 28 and three quarters. Weird.
