I don't know what specific software Quasar1999 was running. In my own case, the proprietary Windows-only program is iTunes for loading MP3s onto my roommate's iPhone SE 3. In the case of other people I regularly talk to online, the proprietary Windows-only program is VRChat.
If the average person who futzes around with Windows can't run Linux Mint, they're being deliberately obtuse. Or they're stupid.
Say my roommate wants me to load MP3s onto her iPhone. I haven't figured out how to do that other than through iTunes for Windows, which does not run in Wine, or Finder for macOS. Am I "deliberately obtuse" or "stupid"?

Which handheld computer with a cellular radio that respects users' freedom is compatible with U.S. mobile networks? Last I checked, things like the Fairphone were made for the European market, with no attempt to get onto Verizon's or AT&T's allowlist.
How exactly has a non-profit helped women get jobs in tech fields? Honest question. I'm okay with their motives, but I'm confused as to how they functionally helped anyone.

Serving coffee on aircraft causes turbulence.
