My sibling comments have addressed this appropriately, but allow me to offer you a genuinely heartfelt response: Fuck You. Of course it outrages me. What kind of asshole sees someone complaining about seeing headlines about children being murdered in their own schools and immediately concludes that they don't also hate the actual shootings? Or even better, doesn't even think about that and just sees a "gotcha" opportunity.

Your profile says "Everything is terrible". You can improve that, and you can start with yourself.

In your estimation, how much graphic violence should my operating system show me on a routine basis?

Oh, and I'd like to know how many 10 year old kids should be reading about them on a daily basis? I bet that really helps settle their minds when they go to school the next day!

I think it's simple: the amount that maximizes the OS vendor's profits.

If you don't like this, you're free to choose a different OS vendor, or use a free OS, of which many variants exist.

Personally, I applaud Microsoft for doing their fiduciary duty and maximizing profits, even if that means pissing off their users who refuse to abandon the platform.

Hopefully the next version of Windows will lock the start menu until the user is sufficiently remorseful for all of society’s failings.

I don't want to read about the stuff because I know somewhere, an 11 year old is also reading about it and it's either causing them anxiety or giving them ideas. I'd rather not support that.

One major cause of school shootings is the reporting of school shootings.

People used to decide that they want to find out about this stuff by themselves. So no, I personally have no desire to find out what the news du jour consists of in whichever country I live, if my OS is force-feeding me this.
