Why, Microsoft? Why would you take the ability to pin a shortcut to the taskbar out of Windows 11 ?!?!?
It is impossible to believe that you can squeeze profit out of this dumbfuckery, so you are either the most incompetent nest of shitheads the world has ever known, or just evil. It's a tossup...

Brain-dead mother. Brain-damaged fetus. No hope for either. So torture their family by keeping both alive until the at-least horribly disabled baby can be delivered and then suffer for months or years with their brain damage. This is what "pro-life" means...

Coinbase was hacked and lost 1000s of customers' name, address, phone, email, driver’s license, and passport info.
This is where the Orwellian "Know Your Customer" bullshit gets us. 1000s of companies store vast amounts of private data they aren't qualified to protect!

Modern machines use a lot of programming. But the thing is, they aren't just programs! You can't just be a programmer when you are making real machines, you have to think like an engineer, too.
Every decision, error-handling choice, and command sequence *MUST* consider the real-world effects, primary, secondary, and tertiary, of that logic. Otherwise, you end up with cars that can't drive when the trunk is jammed, robots that try to decapitate humans when they lose communications with their controller, plants that can't run production when their internet connection is down, and doors that won't let bystanders rescue unconscious occupants while your car is on fire!

Silly question to no tech-nerds in particular:
Is there a known/proposed way to fix TOR such that users can't be de-anonymized by anyone controlling a bunch of nodes and a lot of computing power?
The issue's been around for a while, and it seems weird I've never even heard a solution proposed...

How do I hate thee, Microsoft?
How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways.
I hate thee to the depth of every crash
When updates force a restart’s endless thrash
And Windows stalls, blue screens my free-time raze.
I hate thee for thy licenses’ steep price.
Thy hated cloud locks data out of reach.
Thy Edge that shoves itself through every breach
And laggy Teams, a blight on each device.
I hate thee for thy bloat, thy forced AIs
Thy products killed to force useless upgrades
Thy OneDrive sync that falters, loses files.
With every bug, my fury grows apace
Thy practices that spark such user cries,
I hate thee for thy squand’ring of my days.
