Looking For Love In All The Wrong File Systems

When your developer friend says they're "just customizing their boot screen" but actually they've replaced the UEFI splash with an anime girl calling them "senpai." Nothing says "I'm a serious professional who writes mission-critical code" quite like having your computer address you as a "good boy" during startup.

Behold the mighty Ryzen i9 9950 X3D running at 9.0GHz with 100% CPU usage... all to display a notification that says "New task running" in Turkish. That $1000+ processor with enough computing power to simulate multiple universes is working at MAXIMUM CAPACITY to tell you it's... working. It's like hiring a NASA engineer to announce they've arrived at work. The thermal paste is probably crying right now.
