But how else am I supposed to pet the alligators? Do you seriously expect me to go all the way to Africa to pet the crocodiles in the Nile instead?

Meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom…

The virtual machine I installed windows on to play games with kernel-level anticheat and other such spyware apparently isn’t compatible with windows 11. That’s a positive for 2 reasons, which are:

1. It can’t run Windows 11, so no risk of a forced upgrade
2. Windows won’t constantly harass me to upgrade.

10/10 experience, would not give give Windows access to bare metal again.
