I'm sure that's true sometimes as well. I am not saying there's one and only one reason, just that me often than not when I see these silly intentional misspellings, there's just no good reason for it.

I don't see it as any of those factors. I just see it as lazy, failed attempts at being creative. "Look at me, I can spell a word wrong but it still sounds the same, see how clever I am?"

It's not clever. It's lazy. It's cheap. It's dumb.

Reply to Social media influencers are charged with feeding followers ‘a steady diet of misinformation’ in a pump and dump stock scheme that netted $100 million by Wagamaga

I mean, that's basically just social media influence in a nutshell. Stocks, cryptos, NFT's, makeup, essential oils--it really doesn't make any difference what they're hocking, they're all just saying what their followers need to hear in order to part of with a few shekels.

LTSB/C is not intended for desktop deployment. It is designed for deployments on medical devices, ATM machines and similar use cases where its functionality doesn't need to evolve over time.

LTSB/C introduces issues for different reasons: it doesn't have the full range of functionality as a desktop focused edition of Windows does, which means in turn that numerous applications either don't work correctly or completely, and good luck figuring that out in advance.

The entire mentality of leaving a PC in feature stasis for years on end is there kind of antiquated bullshit we did back in the 90's and early 00's. It worked at that time and I'm that context, but it does not work in 2022.
