Is there a mod that makes it so the Win11 volume bar doesn't freeze up the computer and take 5 seconds to load? For real though, this is awesome. I really wish Microsoft would get back to their roots and make a "lean" Windows

99.9% of people don't consider this an issue, I'd rather there not be one in the spec. It's just unnecessary complication. If you're the genuinely paranoid 0.1%, write a script.

Have you checked in on Canada lately? They're not doing that great. I'm not saying our system is perfect either; we need to get prices under control and incentivize actual competition in the healthcare industry.

A lot of things are better off by being made digital. Voting/elections is not one of them. It lowers the bar for fraud and interference.

Kendrick Lamar: "I'm so sick and tired of the Photoshop" Who actually wants to look at this? It's a neat trick, but I greatly prefer to look at what's real, and I imagine most people outside of this AI hype bubble d

If our government was actually as "green" as they say they are, they'd aim for this because consumers would slow down consumption to only buy what they need. But they know that inflation is another form of tax, and they'
