Nice try. Weather balloon, natural phenomena? We aren’t buying it no more! End the simulation now!
This repost is so old, it is older than lemmy.
I am older than Lemmy!
I am definitely not older than that Lemmy.
I am so confused now. And I started it!
That would explain why everything’s getting so janky. Just waiting for the 3-finger salute now.
The tech bros got Ghandied…
Not gonna lie, 2026 is feeling more like Vista.
yep 98 was ok, Vista was shit
Hey now, Vista wasn’t 2026 levels of bad.
More like Windows Me
It’s funny how even Microsoft themselves seem to forget ME ever existed.
There was a silver lining in that the backlash from ME being as terrible as it was is what finally convinced them to put the consumer editions on the NT kernel.
I’m not sure that’s how that happened. If memory serves, they were already working on xp at the time, but that started to slip the year 2000 deadline. So, in order to keep the OS revenue gravy train rolling, they quickly threw ME together to have something to release in the interim.
Hmm ok not what I remember but that was a long time ago and that does makes sense
I think we’d all like to forget
In terms of Windows versions, yes, it was.
It was objectively worse than XP, and deservedly short-lived. Win7 was objectively much better than Vista.
People who survived from then to now, consciousness intact, even say that Win 98 was better than Vista.
Not that I am endorsing Windows in any way.
feeling like ≠ being run on

Sloppy coverup we know that’s the truth.
The unbelievable part is that it runs on Windows 95 and doesn’t crash more often.
Windows 95 is bulletproof if you avoid the internet.
As far as I’m informed, the Matrix runs on Windows XP, but maybe not yet in russia.
As much as Russia would love to change it, Odessa is still a Ukrainian city
Wer lesen kann ist klar im Vorteil.
I’ve read russia and not Odessa. 🫣
And you actually believe it was just a billboard?
That’s where the director and production crew stays, inside the moon, like in the Trumen Show.
What, is it really some incredibly tightly packed/placed drones?
Well to carry the analogy forward these days we would be running on Windows 11 and experiencing a reality of constant monitoring and hardcore data mining so YEAH THAT TRACKS.
Outside of the matrix, they are running Windows 13. We are behind by two releases in here. They have to update the virtualization layers.
I can only assume Windows 13 has escalated to electrodes and a biometric monitoring butt plug.
Yeah it feels nice, but the software still sucks.
My wife and I did a flyby visit of the Devil’s Tower last year on vacation and it was a foggy night like this with occasional lightning off in the distance. It was pretty surreal seeing a huge disembodied tower floating in the air in front of us as we approached.
Well, at least this disproves all that “Intelligent Design” nonsense.
“You were using Matrix Me again, weren’t you?”
