Emergency… Approval… to demolish historic buildings. Fucking ridiculous.
I’ve been using Chris Titus’s WinUtil : https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil
I have no idea if it is open source or not, I’m not really sure how to check that. I’m pretty sure that his utility includes shutup10 within it. Regardless, yeah, I should have linked it. Thanks for the reminder. It’s been a fantastic utility and I’ve been very happy with it. Between that and WinAeroTweaker, I have my system set up pretty much precisely how I want it.
I am so close to jumping on the Linux train though. Not for any usability reasons within Windows, as I said, my install is pretty much perfect for my needs at this point. More of a moral stand against a company which I vehemently disagree with their stance and actions in the world. The only problem I keep coming back to is that 1 or 2 of my games won’t work on Linux due to anti-cheat bs. That’s pretty much my only sticking point now.
