How’s your 10 year old computer going to look when it’s 30 years old?

I don’t think so. I think if someone wants to change their gender that’s their business. It’s not something I’d want to do but calling it weird seems kind of judgy.

especially since everyone doing this is behind a modern router.

Are they? If they’re irresponsible enough to run an ancient OS it wouldn’t shock me if they’re also running “retro” network equipment

I don’t care what they’re running. Don’t connect an unsupported OS to the Internet or you’re eventually going to become my problem.

Those people are stupid. Run a version of windows that won’t make you part of a botnet and make you my problem or don’t run it at all.
