@microsoft.com - Does this screen serve any purpose whatsoever? I've yet to notice any change despite years of making different choices. I tick the box and say "Yes" purely as a Pavlovian reflex to Windows dialogues, but without any conscious expectation that, this time, things will be different.
... And that's *before* we factor in the externalities (CO2, pollution, production deaths) which a true free marketeer always should.
TIL the term "Kakistocracy". Given the current perilous state of US governance and democracy, I'm absolutely top-to-bottom flabbergasted that I did not already know this term. It should be on the news 24:7.
Not, and this might be the reason for its disuse, that it's particularly easy to pronounce.

How long before the next vexatious grifter claims that journalism is "fake news" if it fails to (impossibly) show the entirety of their life for context? Journalism inevitably truncates, some cuts are inevitably more straightforward than others, but attempting election theft here can't be denied.
