Don't Know About Windows 12… But Windows 13 Will Have A Battle Pass

5 days ago 222.9K views 0 shares

Oh look, it's the dystopian timeline where Microsoft finally stops pretending and just puts a literal paywall on your operating system! Windows 10, 11, 12? Sure, they're all basically the same thing with rounded corners and more telemetry. But Windows 13? That's when they go full supervillain mode with a subscription model that makes Adobe look generous. $19.99 monthly or $190 annually just to CONTINUE using your OS? At this rate, they'll probably lock the Start Menu behind a premium tier and make you watch ads to access File Explorer. The guy's face going from mildly concerned to full skeleton is honestly the perfect representation of watching your wallet slowly disintegrate every time Microsoft announces a "new feature."

You're literally searching for a folder on your own machine, something that's probably in C:\Program Files or wherever you installed your games, and Windows Search is like "hmm, never heard of it, but let me check the entire internet for you." Because apparently Microsoft thinks you're more likely to find your local Games folder on Bing than on your own hard drive. The audacity of clicking "See more results" expecting, you know, more local results , only to be greeted with a web search is truly a Windows experience™. It's like asking someone where your keys are and they hand you a phone book.

Windows 11 In January Has Been An Absolute Fever Dream

When even MS Paint gets a login screen before Explorer.exe decides to show up for work, you know Microsoft's QA team took an extended holiday. Notepad breaking? Mildly annoying. Snipping Tool dying? Frustrating. But Explorer.exe not working is like your OS achieving enlightenment and transcending into a higher plane of existence where files are just... concepts. The escalating brain galaxy meme perfectly captures the progression from "okay this is weird" to "WHAT DIMENSION AM I IN?" Because nothing says "stable operating system" quite like your file manager ghosting you harder than your Tinder matches. At least MS Paint's login screen is innovative though—Microsoft finally figured out how to make people miss Windows Vista.

Does Anyone Here Actually Want AI Baked Into The OS

Microsoft announces they're adding AI to Windows. The crowd goes absolutely feral trying to escape. It's like watching rats flee a sinking ship, except the ship is your operating system and the water is Copilot suggestions you never asked for. Nobody wanted Clippy. Nobody wanted Cortana. And yet here we are again, with Microsoft insisting that what your OS really needs is an AI assistant that'll probably hallucinate your file paths and suggest you rewrite your PowerShell scripts in a "more creative way." Can't wait for my kernel to start giving me motivational quotes during BSOD. The best part? They'll make it impossible to uninstall, just like Edge.

Installing Windows 11 is like inviting a well-meaning but overly enthusiastic roommate who immediately starts rearranging your furniture without asking. You're minding your own business, then BAM—Copilot is everywhere, embedded deeper than a tick on a deer. The real kicker? Try shutting down your PC now. Windows will hit you with "We need to install 47 updates," "Copilot is syncing your soul to the cloud," or my personal favorite: "Your PC will restart in 10 minutes whether you like it or not." You don't own your machine anymore—Microsoft does. You're just renting desk space. Remember when shutting down a computer actually... shut it down? Those were simpler times. Now your PC is basically a smartphone that thinks it knows better than you.

We All Dreamed About Making Our Own OS At Some Point…

The kid asks Santa for an OS built with HTML, and Santa's about to yeet them out the window. Classic misunderstanding of what an operating system actually is versus what HTML does. HTML is a markup language for structuring web content—it literally just tells browsers "hey, this is a heading, this is a paragraph, make this text bold." You can't build an OS with it any more than you could build a car engine out of Post-it notes. Building a real OS requires low-level languages like C, C++, or Rust, direct hardware interaction, memory management, process scheduling, and a whole lot of kernel-level wizardry. Meanwhile HTML is just sitting there like "I can make a div with rounded corners!" The gap between these two concepts is so vast that Santa's violent reaction is completely justified. Fun fact: Electron apps basically do wrap HTML/CSS/JS in what feels like a mini-OS footprint (looking at you, Slack and Discord eating 2GB of RAM), but that's still running on top of an actual operating system doing the heavy lifting.

Someone just let Claude loose on operating system development and it actually produced something bootable. VibeOS features a file manager with a duck.png, a web browser that can navigate to "motherfuckingwebsite.com" (truly a mark of quality), and what appears to be a calculator app. The README casually admits "not everything works, some stuff is not even tested, but most things do" which is honestly more transparency than most enterprise software gives you. The fact that an AI managed to vibe-code an entire operating system while your production deployment is still broken from that hotfix three weeks ago really puts things in perspective. At least when VibeOS crashes, you can blame it on the AI not having feelings about your bug reports.

Activate Linux: The Parallel Universe Edition

Windows users seeing "Activate Linux" is like vegans being told to "activate bacon." That haunting message floating over what's clearly a Windows desktop is the OS equivalent of your phone autocorrecting "I'm fine" to "I'm dying inside." Microsoft's passive-aggressive way of saying "You thought you could escape? That's cute."

THE ABSOLUTE AUDACITY of Windows to block a program I specifically want to run! 💀 First, Windows has the NERVE to tell me "This is a program you blocked" when I have ZERO recollection of ever doing such a thing! Then when I plead my case like "But I know it's safe! I KNOW WHAT IT DOES!" Windows just shrugs with an "Okay" like some passive-aggressive teenager. So I have to resort to LITERALLY TRICKING THE OPERATING SYSTEM by adding it to the exclusion list! The digital equivalent of putting on a fake mustache and glasses! And Windows just falls for it with "Sounds good to me" only to IMMEDIATELY quarantine it anyway! The relationship between developers and Windows Defender is basically just one long, dramatic soap opera where we're all just trying to run our own code without being treated like criminals! 😭

Vibe Coded Operating System

Ah, the classic villain-to-victim pipeline that is modern computing. Our evil mastermind starts with grand ambitions of a revolutionary "vibe-coded OS" - because clearly what the tech world needs is operating systems that run on good vibes instead of actual code. But reality strikes faster than a Chrome tab consuming RAM. Suddenly he's out of memory, probably because the "vibe" compiler has an O(n²) space complexity. His solution? The universal IT troubleshooting step: open Task Manager and stare hopelessly at the 47 identical processes consuming your system resources. The true villain was Windows all along. No evil plan could ever match the psychological damage of watching your computer slowly grind to a halt while Task Manager itself becomes unresponsive.

Windows 11 has been out for over two years now, but those still clinging to Windows 10 have developed this peculiar superiority complex. They look down upon Windows 11 adopters with the smug confidence of someone who's dodged a bullet. "Forced updates? Widgets? TPM requirements? No thank you." They're the IT equivalent of people who brag about not owning a TV.
