How do you navigate this crazy world?
You put your trust in governments, universities, employers. Each let you down.
Yet you can't help seeking someone to make sense of it all.
Am I what you need?
Probably not.
But I can't do any worse than the others.
So give me a shot.

Windows 11 is the most pointless “upgrade” ever.
I’ve yet to find any change that justifies the hassle.
And it just feels half baked…like management set an unattainable deadline but then told the developers to push it out anyway. “We’ll fix in post.”
But, surely, that couldn’t be the case…right?
