  • Apologies for not having seen this until now, if you are still wondering and haven’t found the tool yourself, you can launch it by opening a windows terminal as admin and typing

    irm christitus.com/win | iex

    as soon as chocolatey is installed a gui will launch allowing you to easily install common software, uninstall bloat, apply tweaks (such as disabling telemetry), and control windows updates. It’s a great one stop shop for setting up any fresh/existing windows install, and is continuously updated with reliable and transparent documentation.

    If you would prefer a video about the tool, the latest one is here: https://youtu.be/GQBRrVGgB_Q




  • Please do not trust modified windows installs based on old (22H2) update packs, you’re much better off debloating your fresh, up-to-date, already licensed install using some powershell wizardry…

    Chris Titus has made a gui for this that you can access with a single powershell command. He also has made a guide on which settings he recommends to debloat a fresh install.

    This way you aren’t entrusting your OS, privacy and data to some random unsecure repack. I can find the link for you if you would like :)


  • I don’t think it undermines anything to liken people who parrot 1-to-1 nazi rhetoric to nazis. Especially if you’re referring to maga republicans which have taken many steps past dogwhistle and into stochastic terrorism and promoting violence against minority groups. Yeah, of the 200 or so house republicans, only between 5-10 of them are ‘actual nazis’ in the sense that people mean, but those are also the current face of the republican party, who people actually know the names of.

    It really isn’t so absurd to compare a group of people actively working against the rights of women and minorities, who actively staged an insurrection attempt, who want to install a christofascist dictatorship with their ‘red ceasar’ in the coming years to the nazis.

    Yeah most of them aren’t literal members of the nazi party, only a few have been found with memorabilia, but at what point is the difference still worth fighting over? When all our rights are gone and we have no means with which to fight back?

    If a group of people speak like nazis, act like nazis, plan to act in future like nazis, and are supported heavily by open nazis who demonstrate using literal nazi symbology… Then what is it you’re trying to prove by saying that they aren’t?

    What you are saying almost seems to be like when racist people get upset at being called racist, not because they are or aren’t, but because they see it as some sort of grave insult instead if a description of their presentation.
