For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

I think they were feature complete with 98 and polished with xp. Everything after that was unnecessary bloat and chasing flashy UI trends (or worse, needlessly changing things to "innovate").

I use xfce and it basically hasn't changed UI style since xp and I love it.

I disagree for 3 things: UAC, PowerShell, and general driver abuse loopholes being closed and making security not a joke

I will also say from my personal experience there are a fair number of QOL improvements in the UI, but they kind of threw most of them away with 11, but hey, at least we get tabbed explorer... Which I still can't figure out any real use for, especially the way it's implemented...

Making security not a joke blessed us with crap like safedisc, securom, secure boot, denuvo, TPM, Pluton, Widevine, HDCP and more heinous crap. I think I can live without.

The only good thing is the UAC prompt. That one makes sense. Doesn't protect any of your important files, but keeps windows from killing itself. Sometimes.
