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

Windows 7 was peak. Everything after that has been getting worse and worse every iteration.
That's not true. Windows 10 is better than Windows 8. But windows 11 is so bad I'm switching to Linux when it's time to update
Same here. I don't understand people who tell me Windows 11 is alright. I use Windows 11 at work, and it's everything I hated about 10 magnified, with fewer or no ways to fix it. Every time it has an update, it's even worse.
The only reason I haven't migrated to Linux on my main rig is I've got years of regedits investing into Windows 10, but when it loses support, I'm out. I've already installed Linux on my laptop and the mini PC we use for streaming.
So 11 is the new ME/Vista/8?
Just on schedule, we will know if it's so bad that they need to change naming to something different on version 12.
I don't think it's that. I think it's designed for the Facebook demographic, if that makes sense -- and there are a lot of people on Facebook.
But if you want to have any level of control over your device or any real choice, it's not for you.
I loved windows 8.1 on my surface pro. It was a great touchscreen OS.
