I guess I thought the thread had "run its course", lol.

One ::: Re: bloat-free Win10 - it seems nobody is "really" interested in WinReducer EX-100 and *nobody* has used the configuration files that I provided as how I tweak/mod Win10 *2016* into a bloat-free OS that is much much MUCH better than XP per my own experiences with the two OS's.

And that is despite what appears to me is a *FAKE* download count.
Over FOUR HUNDRED DOWNLOADS but ZERO reports on if these "downloaders" have so much as even used what they downloaded.
No, these users (I have to assume) would prefer to just download a "Tiny10" ISO where the footwork was "baby-fed" for them.
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
Trust me on this, I have used "Tiny10" and no offense to its development, but it is EXTREMELY BLOATED in comparison.

Two ::: Re: "how" I watch/listen - this has been a REVOLUTIONARY new way for ME to watch/listen for MY entertainment value. It SOLVES "attention-deficit" and "mind-race" and "psychomotor agitation" better than ANYTHING ever "suggested" to me over the years! The "GridMove" drag-and-drop window placement is AWESOME! Roughly 60% of the time, I watch four videos simultaneously. With the remaining 40% split evenly between either five or seven simultaneous streams. The 4, 5, and 7 scenarios work really well for maintaining "close-enough" aspect ratios.

Three ::: Re: more on "how" I watch/listen - this 4, 5, or 7 scenarios has evolved into "feeding my OCD" obscession. While technically not "clinically" defined as OCD, everybody I know labels me it and moreso than some that are "clinical". But I personally think that is HUMAN NATURE. In my view, we *ALL* have a little OCD, we *ALL* have a litte PTSD, we *ALL* have a little depression, we *ALL* have a little bi-polarism, we *ALL* have a little ADHD, we *ALL* have a little this, a little that. EVERY D#MN ONE OF US! ie, the obscession being userstyles and userscripts.

You see, we *ALL* have "triggers" in our life that result in "brain rage"! My "triggers" will not be the same as your "triggers" and vice versa. I am no bible-thumper, for lack of a better word, but I know before even saying it out loud that what "triggers" a p#ssed-off-mood for ME is not the same as many here.

I have MANY "triggers". Why do 99% of all toothpaste commercials portray a FEMALE dentist? I have never once met a FEMALE dentist in my entire life! This extremist portrayal of wokeism puts me in a p#ssed-off-mood. Why? Because I have nephews that claim they have nothing to look forward to in life, because FEMALES and minorities are being given opportunities that they are DENIED. And we wonder why BOYS want to participate in FEMALE sports! Sorry, maybe that was over-the-top.

Movies nowadays have agendas. They have become WAY too PREDICTABLE. A fight scene is about to break out between a 250 pound MALE and a 120 pound FEMALE. Predictable, predictable, predictable! The 120 pound FEMALE ***WILL*** be kicking the @ss of that 250 pound MALE. Right down to defying all laws of physics and catching his fist in mid-air. Extremist portrayal of wokeism! Got a fight scene about to break out between a 120 pound female WHITE versus a 120 pound female MINORITY. Predictable, predictable, predictable! The MINORITY is going to win! EVERY TIME! Predictable, predictable, predictable.

Sorry, but don't get me started on MALES in movies crying their eyes out! Hate it, hate it, hate it! Trigger, Trigger, Trigger. I am "entitled" to my triggers as much as the next. Userscripts and userstyles to the rescue. Gray out the two men kissing or holding hands, out of sight out of mind, I have no interest in watching. Gray it out, mute it, et cetera. All with the quick move of the mouse.

Same goes for bullets flying every where LOUD and OBNOXIOUS scenes. A quick move of the mouse and the volume is cut 80%!
Somebody about to vomit? A quick move of the mouse, blur the screen. Out of sight, out of mind.

To each their own, of course. Just saying, this new method of "how" I watch/listen has resulted in a very great deal of Peace-of-Mind. Out of sight, out of mind. Triggers? What triggers, just mute or blur or gray out. Trigger averted.
