So ... they want to modify women so they have sharp teeth, claws, a predilection for dropping dead bodies on your bed, and wake you up by shoving their anus in your face?
I think maybe they should look for a "specialist site" rather than demanding GM ladies. I'll stick to the original model - I get on with those!

Women already have the first two attributes. How hard can adding the others be?

I've awareness of these hacktivists.
One of my bigger questions is if they go about their business as Clark Kent or full Superman.
Only because the visual of some entities/people getting pwnt by someone dressed as a giant lemur is more than a bit humorous.
I've heard their exploits described as hair raising and tail wagging, leaving victims to froth at the mouth.

A non-computerist friend of mine called tonight: On an ages old portable, he had tried to replace the original Windows 8 with Windows 10. He says the machine went from being slow but acceptable to being "like a flea crawling on a tar brush". (That's a Norwegian expression; I like it better than "slow as molasses"!)
I skipped Widows 8 myself, went directly from 7 to 10, but I never thought of Windows 10 being a resource hog compared to 7. What is your experience - especially if you have been through Windows 8: Is 10 really that much more demanding, or is there likely to be some configuration problem in the 10?
I talk to my friend through the phone, so I do not see the brand of the portable, the amount of RAM etc. - and right now, he has replaced Win10 with Ubuntu without knowing the first thing about Linux, so I can't get him to report many details over the phone; he doesn't know how to read it out. He is begging me to make a weekend trip to visit him and help him out

I have an old Asus X53 that is slow too after upgrading to Windows 10, especially Windows updates take hours during which time the notebook is unusable, so I'm thinking of disabling internet access.
Luckily my main notebook is a Dell Inspiron 16 with Windows 11 and an AMD Ryzen 5 processor that I bought this year at a bargain price, it really flies

Turn off transparency effects. The newer OS really wants a new GPU?
Bring back Win 2.0!

I wouldn't be surprised if that system started performing "acceptably" again if he did a clean install rather than an in-place upgrade.
And how long did he wait after the upgrade anyway? Even though you can log in and the desktop is accessible, I believe right after an upgrade, Windows can still spent a significant amount of time "doing upgrade things" in the background.

Do you know if that system is using a spinning disk? If so, the best chance IMHO to improve performance is to switch to an SSD.

My personal observation is that Windows 10 is slower than Windows 8 on the same hardware. My observation (completely unscientific) is that Windows 10 is slower on the same hardware as compared to when it was first released. I mean it's a common observation that it gets slower the longer it's been installed - but a fresh install once patched feels slower to me. Maybe my expectations have changed.
I come home to a lesser specified but blazingly fast Linux machine - so I get to relive the experience every day. Depending on your friends budget, and their intended use of the machine. Perhaps Linux is an option too. My grandmother seemed OK with it for browsing and e-mail. YMMV

That was my experience, too. Going from 7 to 10 was a big slowdown, only became usable again when I fitted an NVME drive instead of spinning rust.

That's true and more striking if we compare beta versus release. The many security thing turned on makes it much slower. Especially Intel, I have an Acer Atom tablet that was slow but decent, then left behind without updates (maybe without Creators Update?) then updated again and slow as a mother louse pregnant with twelve babies during Windows 10.
