I just tried opening the Voice Recorder on Windows 11 and was met with this: https://i.imgur.com/K8FViqO.png

I honestly have no words for this. I can't decide if I should laugh or cry.

Just wait until it starts nagging you to rate it in the Microsoft Store like the calculator does.

calculator?! jesus fucking christ.

That's how you get 1 star ratings.

I gathered all the pieces of the Windows7 calculator and transplanted them into Windows 10 because of these stories and after seeing how slow it loaded. Speed to load is a critical feature of a PC calculator IMO.

I also don't dig the look of these apps compared to the clean GUI of Windows 2000 for example. I understand everything needs to be big and vectorized because of 4k displays, touchscreens and whatever else, but it always feels like these apps are running on Flash.

And to tell us this you're using imgur that loads JS garbage from 10 domains in order to display a small picture.

What do you recommend instead?

I use ImgBB, they're probably stealing your images but did screenshots like this is doesn't matter.

I use ImgBB, they are probably stealing your images and not deleting them if you set it to auto delete but for screenshots like this it probably doesn't matter.

In a pinch, I make a post to a reddit profile and then link direct to the image. Unlike Imgur, that does link directly to the single file and not a page with html/js.

Maybe to one of the full pages. This link, direct to a png, only loads JS from the imgur.com domain.

Unless you're on a mobile phone, in which case it redirects you to the JavaScript-laden page anyway.
