What the Start Menu Should Do
Dear Microsoft. Here is a list of things I want the Start Menu to do: * Show my installed programs * Search my local files * Provide access to system settings Here is a list of things I do *not* want the Start Menu to do: * Show the weather for a randomly-selected town near my network's public IP infrastructure * Show tabloid headlines * Show programs I *don't* have installed * Search the web via Bing * Show adverts(!) * Attempt to engage me in conversation with a hallucinating LLM Thanks.
A screenshot of a post addressed to Microsoft, listing useful functions the Windows Start Menu should provide and criticizing unwanted features such as weather, tabloids, ads, Bing search, and AI conversation. The joke is a sarcastic complaint about modern Windows bloat and intrusive integration, especially the absurdity of an unreliable LLM trying to chat through the Start Menu. It is used as a reaction to unwanted software features, telemetry, advertising, or AI being added to simple tools.
