        The seven windows 11 users disagree with you

          I did not reply because it was obvious I made a mistake (as a partially blind person does when reading small text.) And you took a widely accepted community name and format and gave it your own twist, then sent a PM that was obviously looking for drama. Which is further obvious here.

            before you guys upvote him, please read the discussion.

            this guy came to my instance, read what I wrote, typed out a report and submitted it; he blames blindness and small text for not knowing which instance he was on, but neither of those issues prevented him from reading my post (it was a post about abuse, in a community I created, on my own instance) and reporting it. That’s why I banned him. He’s using a disability as an excuse to get away with offensive behavior (ignoring me when I tried to discuss the issue privately first).

            Yes, disabled people can behave offensively. Some disabled people can be selfish. Some of them hurt people, then walk away without apologizing, and blame their disability instead of themselves. To me, that’s abusive, and I call it out instead of letting people get away with it, because I’ve suffered enough at the hands of people who make excuses instead of being accountable.

              This doesn’t help you at all, even if we ignore the other users disability.

              Someone reported your post on your instance and community because they thought it broke a rule, even though it didn’t. That happens all the time in communities, we see it here multiple times per day.

              Then you PM them, which they didn’t feel the need to reply to. So you then looked for one of their recent comments to attempt to publicly shame them and force them to respond, and are now trying to save face when people tell you you’re wrong.

              This isn’t acceptable behavior from a mod or an admin, do better.

              Edit: and replying “banned lol” to anyone who disagrees with you, hope after the 3 day ban here you’ll matured a bit.

              The post was on all, I never went to your instance until after I sent the report and realized I made a mistake, to which I already admitted to having made a mistake publicly. Now you are following me to other instances and harassing me, and trying to bully me because I did not reply to a PM that I saw at about the same time I saw your reply to this unrelated thread.

              You are acting like the report hurt you in some way. If you are this thin skinned about moderating and instance administration you may want to step back.

      It also automatically reinstalls itself through a BIOS feature. That’s advanced level malware.

        Right? I thought I read that wrong!

        To disable future crap like this you gotta do it in the FUCKING BIOS? Wtf Asus…

      I think the title indicates that it’s like the malware known as “Christmas.exe”.

      Edit: I have too much faith in humanity…

        The title is pushing the narrative that “real companies” doing hostile bullshit isn’t “real malware”.

        When companies ship malware, it should be called malware.

          Most malware is corporate shitware.

          Compared to the wealth of pop-ups, ads and tracker cookies ubiquitous in every website that are burning down forests so they can run black box algorithms to optimize dark patterns for extracting as much revenue as possible while working the sweatshop poor to the bone - worming their way into everything without the condom of extensions - a cryptostealer disguised as ChatGPT_NFT_money_explosion.exe made by some teenager in albania feels… benign.

        From the article:

        Even worse, the malware-looking Christmas wreath is linked to a process called “Christmas.exe.”

        So the process was actually called that. It popped up on my machine this morning and I immediately started scanning the whole system for malware and searching to see if anyone else had this problem.
