Fair enough. Joy returned when I was done and I ran `blkdiscard` to nuke the entire SSD I installed it in. Excised in one fell swoop.

Bill "2^(Year-1984) MIPS" Joy?

Navigating from HackerNews to Medium is exactly the kind of downgrade we're talking about. A bloated ad-filled horror-show of openly hostile design.
Firefox tells me it had to download 1.9MB, despite that the only graphic in the article weighs just 60kB.
Thankfully modern browsers have 'reader mode'. There's no such simple solution for Windows.
Sure, hate on medium, I’m certainly not here to defend it, but I think you may have missed the joke.
I love the image of Bill Joy as a masked superhero, who returns from out of nowhere and deletes your Windows partition.
