I’m looking to test out Windows, but I don’t want to download it without my VPN. I’m trying to use it in a virtual machine with GPU passthrough so I can play all my games. I also obviously don’t want to pay for a copy. TIA!

    Cos they don’t give a flying fuck while you keep using their software and consuming your stuff the way they want you to consume your stuff.

      This right here. If I remember correctly Gates even said there was no issue as long as people were using Windows.

        Billionaires are not stupid people like some people like to pretend they are, there are some of them who have tons of money for a reason and it it’s not dumbness exactly. Yeah they like to evade taxes and do shady shit too but definitely not as dumb as working 9-5 for more than a half of your life yo know.

          It’s not dumb to work 9-5 if it’s your only choice. And most people weren’t saying that billionaires are dumb, just that they’re psychopaths.
