As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.
FIRST:
The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:
It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).
Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).
Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:
No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).
The truly insane number of places they have stuck ads on your own home computer is sickening. Become Unmarketable.

Found this; there are various opinions about the Adventure Time Gender Swap versions because a lot of fans think of it as some sort of fanservice or that the episodes of Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake, including the Bad Little Boy is nonsense, but I would say that I definitely agree on his/her analyzation about the episode.
I agree that there is more meaning to it than just plain old lovey-dovey episodes of Fionna with Prince Gumball or Marshall Lee. Although some doesnโt like the gender swap versions, there are still some who appreciates it. Check it out. I suggest you read it.
found an angel wandering around last night. it was standing in the street dazed, looking up at a flourescent light. didn't want it to get hit by a car so i tried to nudge it onto the sidewalk but it started getting agitated when it realized i was there. poor thing seems to be almost totally blind; there's a crack in its halo so maybe that's why. i managed to leash it and that calmed it down a bit. ended up bringing it home and it's just been sitting on my bedroom floor staring at the ceiling light. anyone know what angels eat?
it seems to like fruit loops well enough. i guess they're halo shaped. doesn't have much of an appetite.
it was grimy as hell when i found it. i got it into the bathtub but it didn't seem to know how to wash itself. it really doesn't like being touched but i had to clean it up myself. spent a while digging caked on dirt out of its back feathers while it squirmed around in the tub.
seems like it can't really see or hear much, and one of its arms is cracked off like a marble statue. weird, since the rest of it is so soft to the touch. its halo is all cracked and chipped as well. maybe it did get hit by a car or something.
it doesn't want to sleep anywhere but the floor. seems a bit less stressed now that it's clean and fed, though. once it found the little pillow nest i made it at the foot of my bed, it curled right up and went to sleep. i can hear its halo quietly vibrating down there. kind of sounds like it's purring.
it's warming up to me a little. still doesn't like being touched but it'll nuzzle into my hand sometimes while i work. got it a dog bed and put it under my desk, and it seems mostly content to lie down there during the day.
sometimes it'll wander around the house. i hear it knock shit over occasionally, and i usually find it on the ground covering its head in shame. i don't know how to tell the poor thing that knocking over a lamp is not a big deal and also pretty understandable for a blind angel in an unfamiliar space. i usually just bring it back to its spot under my desk. it squirms like a cat a bit when i pick it up but doesn't stop me. it's a lot lighter than i would've expected.
one time i was playing music while cleaning and found it pressing its head against the speaker. maybe it can hear a little after all? maybe the vibrations remind it of other angels. maybe it's just a black sabbath fan lol.
gave it an oversized bad religion t-shirt to wear. i doubt it appreciates the irony but looking at its bare ass all the time was giving me bad ideas. i'm pretty sure if i tried to fuck it i'd get struck by lightning or something. probably.
the angel figured out how to use the volume controls on my speaker and keeps turning it all the way up. anytime i play something it doesnt like it'll come pester me until i change it. would be really cute if it wasn't so picky. all it wants to listen to is metal. how the fuck did i manage to adopt the world's only metalhead angel?
brought it on a hike earlier. it's been in my apartment for a while and i was worried it was going stir crazy. it was pretty slow going cause i had to help it not trip over roots and stuff but it seemed to be enjoying the fresh air. we passed a radio tower at one point and it wouldn't stop staring at it.
i had to pick it up a couple times to navigate some rocky areas and it doesn't seem to mind anymore. by the end i swear it was enjoying it. it's light enough that i can lift it one-handed and hold it against my chest, it'd just put its arm around my shoulders and sit there looking smug.
we were both completely beat by the time we got home, though. tucked the angel into its dog bed and collapsed into mine. right as i was about to pass out, though, i felt it worm its way into my bed and curl up in my arms. dreamt i was flying.
when i woke up it was back in its own bed. it seems kinda embarrassed about it this morning. i guess cuddling is like third base for an angel or something.
hi all. it's been a while. let me explain why.
it started when i brought the angel to a house show a few weeks ago. i was kinda worried about the number of people, and it did spend most of the night hiding under my jacket, but it seemed like it was enjoying itself. got a lot of compliments on its halo.
i drank a few beers while we were there, and i got one for the angel too. once it figured out how to extract the beer from the can, it seemed to like it. we were both pretty drunk by the time we left, and it was being a lot clingier than usual. i guess angels are lightweights. figures.
when we got home it grabbed me by the hand and led me to the bathtub. it'd never done that before, but i figured it was just feeling grimy from the show. it was squirming around more than usual while i dug the dirt out of its back feathers, though, and when i was halfway done, i realized it had been fucking fingering itself the whole time.
now, i know what i said about getting struck by lightning and all that, but to be honest i was still pretty drunk at this point. so i did what any responsible intoxicated angel owner would do: i stopped grooming it, lifted it up by the hips, and ate it out until it was a trembling mess in the bottom of the tub.
so. do you want to know why i've been gone for a month? here's another question: did you know that angel cum is an extremely potent aphrodisiac? because i sure fucking didn't!! i got a mouthful of it and...honestly my memory is a little hazy but i'm pretty sure i spent a whole month fucking that stupid thing. not only is it a little wierdo, it's a pervert too.
at any rate, i haven't been smitten yet and i guess i've built up a tolerance to angel cum. the angel, for its part, doesn't seem particularly bothered about the whole situation. it's sleeping under my desk right now, with some conspicuously wet inner thighs. smug little bastard.
Hope, the luxury and folly of immortal things
Crawling out of my hole to remind people that with this current update to Firefox (version 144) they've gone and dumped in their lot with a buncha lil AI tools, namely Perplexity as a new search engine.
So if the sound of that leaves your mouth tasting of tar, here's what you want to do:
In the url bar, type in about:config
It'll give you a big scary warning page that you might poke holes in your browser. Good. You want to do that. Click continue.
One by one, you're going to need to put each of these into the search bar in the page, not up top:
Each of these are gonna have a lil toggle icon on the right hand side that looks like a funky double-ended arrow. Click that and the value next to it should change to false. It all auto saves as you go. Some of these might already be set to false by default and that's peachy.
The next best thing you can do for yourself is to set your default search engine to udm14 or Qwant, but for now, we're just tidying the garden a lil bit.
BITCH I WILL FUCKING CUT YOU
YOUโVE ANGERED THE WRONG FANDOM
Youโre going down punk, just you FUCKNG WAIT!! You will learn that this fandom is far worse than you will ever want to know. We may seem soft and shy, but weโre just being NICE! We can be cold, cruel, mean, and make you suffer and wish you had never said what you said. We can send you into the farthest most empty reaches of the galaxy, summon demons to our disposal to make you suffer, and make you feel the feelings that we experience, and donโt fucking think for a single goddamn second thatโs easy! The amount of emotions that would boil inside of you would literally kill you. So keep your motherfucking distance and we wonโt hurt you, so stay the hell back, asshole. If you so much as insult us one more time, we will bring firey hell upon you and bitch slap you into oblivion. Your move, dildo.
We know how to kill a human and hide the evidence. Your body will never be found, and that is a promise.
You do realize a majority of the fandom are 20 somethings right? or at least in college. We can find you, kill you, and make it look like you killed yourself. Donโt try us :)
Shut up. We can exorcise a demon from you faster than Dean and Sam, believe me you need it. We can toss you into a supernova, never to be seen again, or banish you to the end of the universe where you would explode to create a new one. We can murder you and destroy all evidence of you ever existing. Basically- D-O-N-T-C-R-O-S-S-U-S
This is like finding a lost family heirloom youโve been hearing about
finallyโฆ.
important relic from the Tumblr Dark Ages
September 6th, 2014
MADOKA - โIโm thinking Iโll order a beef udon bowl, since Sayaka-chan told me that they make those really good here. What about you, Homura-chan?โ
CONSERVATION OF ENERGY - Food needs can be met with an expenditure of 1.23% of total magic. Proceed?
GRIEF SYNDROME [Trivial: Success] - MAGICAL GIRLS THAT IGNORE FOOD ARE OFTEN MORE PRONE TO GRIEF ACCUMULATION. MY ARMS WILL ALWAYS BE WAITING FOR YOU, HOMURA, BUT ITโS IMPORTANT TO BE HAPPY UNTIL THAT DAY. BESIDES, MADOKA WANTS TO EAT WITH YOU. DISAPPOINTING HER WILL FILL YOUR SOUL GEM WITH A HALF A GRIEF SEED WORTH OF DESPAIR.
TEA WITH MAMI-SAN [Legendary: Success] - Sayaka says the beef bowl is good? Maybe go for that. She knows Madokaโs tastes better than anyone โ and if Madoka likes something, you will certainly like it too.
CALL AND RESPONSE - [Medium: Failure] - Youโve eaten here before, youโre pretty sure. Was it Loop 32โฆ no, Loop 12..? No, wait, it was on the first Friday of Loop 68. Noโฆ thatโs not right. Youโve never eaten here before. In a stunning display of incompetence, you have taken Madoka on a date to a restaurant that you have never experienced before.
THE ANGEL - Itโs okay, Homura-chan! I donโt mind if you havenโt eaten here before. Remember what real me said, Sayaka thinks this place is good! And even if itโs not perfect, thatโs okay, just spending time with you makes me happy.
THE CRAVEN MASSES - Sayaka has raised her blade against Madoka 16 times before. You should leave this restaurant and kill her. It would only take-
FALLING SAND [Trivial: Success] - 1528 seconds on average.
CONSERVATION OF ENERGY - It can be cut down to 1243 seconds with an expenditure of 2.7% of total magic pool.
THE CRAVEN MASSES - Exactly. Do it in front of her family and make it bloody. Kyoko would likely try and stop you, but even she isnโt immune to bullets. And if Mami comes for revenge, well, you know the exact words you could say that would destroy her, donโt you?
THE ANGEL - A-Ah, I think thatโs a bit of an extreme reaction, Homura-chan!
HUMAN SHELL - Your heart rate is increasing. Stop that. You have absolute control over your flesh. Act like it.
MOE INSTINCT - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHAT ARE WE GOING TO ORDER MADOKA IS GOING TO LAUGH AT US
WITCHโS NIGHT - Isโฆ is this a trap? Walpurgis may be defeated, but you know that the stage witch never truly ceases its show. Perhaps this restaurant is a part of the stage?
MADOKA - โUm, are you okay, Homura-chan?โ
MOE INSTINCT - OH GOD SHE HATES US
YOU - Isnโt there anything else you can say?
THE DEVIL - Come on, Homura. Itโs high time you do it. Really, this is just another in the long, long chain of failures that make up your life. The only way to fix it is to kill yourself.
CLOCKWORK PRECISION - Target: Located on right ring finger. Target is not moving. Chance to hit: High. Plan: Retrieve pistol. Aim pistol at ring. Pull trigger.
THE ANGEL - Oh my god, please do not do that!
YOU - There. There has to be better options than this.
MOE INSTINCT - I CANโT TAKE IT ANY MORE. THE ONLY RECOURSE IS IMMEDIATE SUICIDE. THATโS THE ONLY WAY MADOKA WILL LOVE YOU AGAIN.
YOU - โIโm going to kill myself.โ
MADOKA - Madokaโs face twists, her eyebrows raising slightly in shock. Whatever response she was expecting, it was clearly not this.
GRIEF SYNDROME [Challenging: Success] - IF MADOKA WAS A MAGICAL GIRL, HER SOUL GEM WOULD FILL BY A QUARTER HEARING YOU SPEAK THOSE WORDS. THAT WAS CRUEL, HOMURA.
MOE INSTINCT - WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?
MADOKA - โIโm so sorry, Homura-chan. Please donโt do that. Iโฆ I really care about you and so does everyone else.โ Madokaโs eyes fill with tears as she speaks. She hugs you.
DAMAGED MORALE -4
CALL AND RESPONSE [Trivial: Success] - Quick, tell her you were making an edgy joke that didnโt land. Youโve gotten away with that before, youโre pretty sure.
SPACE-TIME MASSACRE - Twelve quarter shifts left and two up from your current space-time position, and thereโs a Japan that itโs actually illegal to not commit suicide in.
FALLING SAND - Youโve been seated for 5 minutes and 32.5 seconds already and still have not ordered. Mami has requested your presence at her apartment in 3.4 hours from now.
TEA WITH MAMI-SAN - She wants to help you find a hobby. Sheโs really worried about you, you know.
STRINGS OF FATE - You can feel Madokaโs heart beat in sync with yours as she holds you. Everything will be alright, as long as you follow the beat.
THE ANGEL - Yeah! Itโs okay Homura-chan. Just explain whatโs been going on and Madoka will understand. And then order something, itโs important to eat a full meal!
YOU - โAh, sorry Madoka. I wasโฆ overwhelmed with choice, and myโฆ brain spit out the first thing it thought. I am not planning on killing myself.โ
MADOKA - โUm, I think we should probably talk about this more, Homura-chanโฆ.โ
CALL AND RESPONSE - Ask her a question to change the topic. Itโs worked in three different loops, it should work here.
RATIONALITY COMPLEX [Trival: Success] - Ask her if she wants to try anything else and then order that for yourself. This will accomplish your goal of deciding on what to order, as well as showing Madoka that her desires are important to you.
YOU - โIs there anything else youโd like to try, Madoka? We can share our dishes.โ
MADOKA - โUh, okay Homura-chan. Maybe get some tempura?โ
YOU - โExcuse me waiter, give me 10000 yen worth of tempura.โ
HUMAN SHELL - Calories and magic are just two different types of fuel. Feed me and control me.
THE ANGEL - T-thatโs probably too much, Homura-chan. Maybe you can sneak some into your cool shield, though!
MADOKA - Madoka doesnโt say anything, but her eyes do bulge out slightly. She gives you a gentle pat on the shoulder and smiles at you.
HEALED MORALE +1
RATIONALITY COMPLEX - Displays of wealth like this can broadcast value to potential mates. This will increase your value in Madokaโs eyes, furthering along one of your goals.
THE ANGEL - I think you should just focus on enjoying the food, Homura-chan. Take a break, everything is okay.
YOU - Why donโt you hate me?
THE ANGEL - Because I care about you, Homura-chan! And besides, you hate yourself far too much already.
THE ANGEL - Youโre welcome! Now, please, enjoy your meal with real Madoka. She loves you a lot too, you know.
Extremely unwell on re-betrayed Thorn. Sheโs a prey animal. Sheโs a predator who has dropped her claws to please you. She appears more human, yes. The last time she appeared as a gangly creature, you used it as โevidenceโ that she ended in feral nature over conscious thought.
BUT. Appearing more human or not.
She is still an animal.
This self-loathing, exhausted, starving creature is still governed by instinct beneath the reservoir of pleasantries. Wild or tame, she permits you to choose. And if you choose wrong, it can and WILL cost you both.
And I donโt mean this in the weird โhehe nyaaahโ way that folks seem to characterize Witch in, nor the weird elven seductress energy that I see happen a lot. This isnโt cute. This is mental illness, trauma, repression, masking. Because despite her >:3 front when she bests you again, she isnโt happy. Sheโs exhausted. And one way or another, sheโs going to get the final say before her time.
Very saddened to see so little actual representation of her from a disability standpoint, be it physical or mental. Sheโs a really believable example of what betrayal trauma does to a person, and the concept of rebuilding back up from that just isโฆ So completely unexplored in fic. Does she get worse? Better? More animalistic? It could go a multitude of ways. And personally, I wanna see em all.
Iโm not letting this stay in tags
What Iโve found in many players is that people do not understand how heavily impacted STP is by mental illness, trauma, and recovery. If someone is willing to trust, theyโre โweakโ or โboring.โ Or characterless waifu bait (Witch, surprisingly enough also gets this? Very telling on removing mental illness from women to make them โdatable. Yikes!) If someone strikes back when hurt, theyโre โfake.โ But mind you, this only applies to the Princess. Because god forbid women have feelings, right.
People seem to operate on the notion that Thorn is weak for breaking and playing with her fate consensually and realistically in a very reasonable circumstance. She was hurt, she fought back, and, as survivorโs guilt goes, feels responsible for self defending simply because her abuser showed remorse. Extremely common situation irl; blame is placed on the victim, made to feel worthy of the harm done to them. People who call this โboringโ have no grasp on feminine guilt or human emotion in general tbh. Yes, sheโs willing to call you even, and move forward with the assumption you both played the survival gambit and both lost. No, a single kiss didnโt fix all that damage. But itโs a start (turning over a new leaf etc), and with luck sheโll get there.
But Thorn is still part of Consumption and Betrayal. She didnโt just lose all sense of self preservation. Is it fucked up to do it, from a narrative standpoint? Absolutely. Can I understand how narratively a player/LQ in general wouldnโt believe it? Absolutely! And those arenโt mutually exclusive. Youโre playing a game of trust, and for all you know one or both of you could strike back at any moment.
Whatโs interesting to me is that if you hit back, Thornโs methods are impactful but not lethal. Sheโs going to hurt you, but by god sheโs gonna draw it out. Mocking you with her survival. Making you feel the pain you caused. And, interestingly, realizes at the end of the arc that itโs you whoโs in the wrong and she can move forward without that guilt. Even though itโs sad and painful, she gets closure in her own way; the blood isnโt on her hands, and no matter what she did you were gonna hurt her back. So she can finally rest.
Tl;dr folks are more than welcome to have their boundaries and discomforts! I do not think that anyone should force themselves to stab Thorn. But I do think the results enrich her character, and make it obvious exactly what and HOW sheโs afraid of becoming prey to the knife. Sheโs a cornered animal, and cornered animals fight back.

I went to a taylor swift concert once and it was mostly ok but there was one standout moment where they brought a red pulsating jewel on stage. Taylor said it was called the heart of Ozymandias. She kept inviting people on stage to touch it and every time they did they would turn into sand and blow away. And people just kept going up and touching the thing.
I met a drummer from a tribute band, Who said - "Two empty roadie trunks of black Stand in the green room โฆ Near them, some stagehand, Half tears a battered poster down, pulls back The yellowed lip, and words of faded bold Type tell that this 'The Eras Tour' once read, Which yet repeats, stamped with some lifeless face, The mouth that sung them and the dates ahead, And down the border's edge, scrawled on in pen: 'My name is Taylor Swift, the Queen of Queens; Look on my works, Ye, Nicki and despair! None of her fans remain; all thoughts astray Of that colossal hack, soundless and bare; They all turned into sand and blew away.โ

So many people who love generative AI don't have a creative bone in their body and can't imagine anyone actually enjoying the time and effort it takes to write something or draw something.
Can you, as a writer, imagine NOT experiencing the joy and terror of having your own characters drag you by the collar of your shirt in the direction THEY choose?
And youโre sitting there like no No NO you little cumquats!! Get back here! GIMME that! to fruitlessly try to wrestle your carefully planned plot back out of their greedy little fingers?
And you sit there as theyโre doing their own thing with a small part of your head going goddamnit goddammit while their words and actions flow out of your callous covered fingertips and onto the page?
And suddenly you read it, and your shit ass little muses actually made something amazing that you can sculpt and bend into the very thing you actually meant to write?
I would give up the craft if I couldnโt have those moments.
I certainly wouldnโt surrender them to a machine.
This! all of this! writing is like trying to heard cats.its frustrating but also a blast at the same time.
Some people can't wrap their mind around doing a thing because you enjoy the process, not just so you have something you can use to milk money out of other people.
there are an awfully lot of people out there who don't want to be writers they want to have written.
This is a Love Story
