Lol

Literally the only time I use reddit now that my 3rd party app got fucked by spez is when I Google a problem and reddit pops up as the answer.

Will I ever go to reddit and search for my issue? Hell no because their search function is absolutely useless.

I don't even use Reddit for that anymore. If I've got a problem there's plenty of forums I can consult for help, or I can post the question here on Lemmy, on the fediverse, on Bluesky, you get the idea.

I managed to get a Windows XP virtual machine working with GPU passthrough thanks to a forum MattKC (tech youtuber who does repairs and reverse engineering) had set up and posted on. Even when I used Reddit, there wasn't much info on getting BIOS-only versions of Windows working.

Yea, me too. Although I know wanna stop doing that as well.
