Haha, looking for an answer on Microsoft's forum, I found someone as frustrated as me with Windows' "just uninstall and reinstall"-solutions:
"What's the REAL solution? You may as well tell me "get a new laptop" is the solution"
Priceless :smile:

AudenGPT: "Thrilling Sound of the Sea"
The dialogue from W.H. #Auden 's #poem "O, what is that sound" reenacted through #openai 's #ChatGPT producing a somewhat more optimistic/deceitful tone.

I've been thinking about the "federation is like e-mail" metaphor, when explaining the fediverse to non-techs, and while this comparison is technically precise, I was wondering if it's closer to UX to say "federation is like podcast" (ie. like RSS).
I have no in-depth knowledge of podcasts, but I think a lot of people will be familiar with either subscribing through a podcast client (copy/paste URL in Overcast, Rhythmbox, etc.) or going to a separate server with "federated" content (listen on spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.).
The copy/paste problem in the fediverse is just like with podcast clients. Yet I don't think listeners are surprised to go to a podcast's website and see several buttons that does the same thing (in fediverse terms: "Follow on Mastodon", "Follow on Calckey", "Subscribe through handle").
So could this metaphor and an imitation of this convention actually help to articulate the plurality of apps in the fediverse, rather than just leaving them with a handle?

PODCAST ON #ENSHITTIFICATOIN :
"There's a growing sense that the internet – or at least the big sites we use all the time like #Amazon , #Facebook and #Google – is becoming worse. Instead of seeing what's best for us at the top of our searches, we're seeing more and more of what makes the tech giant the most money pop to the top. Cory #Doctorow calls it ‘Enshittification.' He explains how it works."
