    Lol “carefully crafted sequence”. This is just like back in early versions of Windows where the login screen let you open a help menu, which let you open a file picker, which let you open any file.

    Windows is a pile of shit stacked way too high.

        tbh, there’s no decent OS. They all have issues.

          Clearly haven’t used TempleOS. It was literally given to us by god. It’s perfect.

      That sounds dangerous. I’ll keep my distance lest that pile topples.
