So turn those features off. I just checked, there’s a setting for both spellcheck and autocorrect.

Lots of us use notepad on hundreds of different machines, many times freshly installed. “just turn it off” is not a solution as that increases the unnecessary burden beyond the utility of the application.

A bigger sin of new Notepad is that its no longer ephemeral when not saving the file. This is really bad if you happen to copy secure data into notepad for brief evaluation or manipulation. It now gets saved unencrypted to the file system in a temporary file whether you want it or not.

Have you seen Windows 11? I have no faith Microsoft could produce a decent phone OS that would serve users well.

It wasn’t only the music industry. The Department of Justice ruling kneecapped Pearl Jam’s efforts of reform giving Ticketmaster the foundation to build the even larger empire it has today.

yes, dummy

Oh wow. I didn’t realize you’re not able to have an adult conversation. This is helpful information.

they could take the year off, they could only play smaller venues, or even larger ones that don’t use tickemaster.

I addressed that already, but I see my mistake wasn’t using your chosen method of communication. Let me try again:

Pearl. Jam. tried. that. and. there. aren’t. enough. ticketmaster-less. venues. available. that. are. large. enough. to. cover. the. costs. of. a. nation. wide. tour.

the artists are the talent

except. the. biggest. stars. the. talent. is. paid. very. little. and. has. very. little. control. over. their. performance. choices. and. they. need. to. feed. themselves. as. music. is. their. livelihood.

this is not fucking rocket science

This is business and law, and its far closer to rocket science than your elementary understanding makes it out to be. Its one thing to be ignorant of the way things work. Its yet another to stand proudly and proclaiming you don’t care about being ignorant.

Casey Jones had a firm handshake. That’s all you needed back then. /s

they. could. choose. not. to. play. the. venues.

And how will they earn a living? Record, radio, and streaming pays almost nothing. Live performance is how most make their living.

Going ticketmaster-less for a tour has been tried before by a huge name at the time Pearl Jam. This was almost 30 years ago now. It just wasn’t viable playing the few venues that could accept ticketmaster-less shows.

Here’s part of that history:

Why would russia be deploying so many T-64, T-62 and even T-55 tanks if they had “cold war era bunkers full” of better tanks?

Ukraine interested in joining since 2014 too.

its namesake resort exist in their location because natural spring water flows from nearby mountain ranges to create an oasis.

If its irrigated from a natural spring then wouldn’t that water is coming out of the ground and will shortly evaporate in Death Valley whether there is a golf course there or not?

Are you suggesting capturing the spring water and hauling it out of Death Valley for some reason? Are you proposing something else for the water?

The bottom picture look like ATACMS boosters. I think they’d look like that whether they were shot down or not as the payload (usually cluster munitions) would be in the nose, yes?
