    So, basically Microsoft’s “we know what’s best for you” style? No. Fuck that, no matter the purpose.

      I was joking.

      I added the “/s” to be extra clear.
      I didn’t think of anyone taking that statement seriously (like how wound it even work?).

        You know there is some dude the thought removing the /s would make that a valid suggestion.

        Thought virus’ are real.

        Apologies. I’ve seen weirder shit proposed recently. 2025 has severely damaged my sensors responsible for detecting irony, sarcasm and satire.

        As for “how would it work”: on systems as old as Win 7, it would be trivial to escalate privileges and install all kinds of shit.

          I do agree with you, I could have written it significantly better (in my brainhole the notion of a browser/browser dev installing you an OS bcs it would mean less work for them was just funny, but I failed in communicating it).

          Also lol, yeah, 2025 did a number on irony/nutty theories/near future predictions. 2026 is no better, like whym there aren’t any HDDs left, what kind of worldwide catastrophe hit Earth & caused that??

          The install bit - so getting through admin Win would prob be easy (that was the og joke), then the code would have to partition the disk (ok), install Hannah Montana Linux (ok), but then also reboot to that partition - can that be done without Grub on a primary boot partition or the user accessing BIOS?
