You know it wasn’t an active choice, right? 
The few programs I use on that machine have their own interface set-ups and that’s fine, I don’t care what OS I use. But, dammit, Shift-F5 is a quick left-handed flick that…

Now it makes sense. 
Part of the rot is that what Microsoft thinks users want and what users actually want are on diverging paths and this AI nonsense just cements it, nobody wants this crap apart from the moneybags in suits.

Meanwhile, on BlueSky, there’s been a good-natured international conversation about people’s favourite fountain pens for the last few weeks that is wonderfully practical.

My PC doesn’t have a Trusted Platform Module (to give Microsoft a hard lock on my computer), so I’m stuck with Win 10. 
Soon I’ll be adding a Linux distro dual boot.

SLAM that slap bracelet fealty key! Now whack it fast for Satya Nadella! You’re getting points. So much points. You answered the quiz wrong and got the same 10 points. Diabetes is from observing this basilisk!
Only have rotting garbage that hasn’t crashed in 200 days but has restarted (among others.) Must upgrade to rotting fucking garbage to run Epic Launcher more…ruttingly, please advise.
Eta: no sooner spoken than machines decide to deny there ever was a WiFi or Bluetooth card, separately, then decide back after some sleep(2).

I have three keys between right ALT and left arrow, and none of them are my copilot.

But it you want subtle evil, go for French Azerty.
I’ve seen even French folk who grew up with Azerty go completely mental when trying to flip their brains between Querty and Azerty modes on the fly.

I use the Windows key all the time. WinL to lock my screen, Win←/Win→ to move and resize windows, Win; to bring up the emoji keyboard, WinS to do a screen clipping, Win by itself to bring up the start menu. It’s a pretty useful key.
A Copilot key on the other hand? Fuck that shit.
