I'm happy for you.

I'm not so sure if that had any subtext in it or not. It's hard to detect sarcasm over a medium like this.

Being autistic doesn't help detect sarcasm either.

Sorry, it wasn't supposed to be sarcastic. As I read it I thought it was ambiguous too, but for some reason I couldn't think of a way to clarify. Somehow I forgot about the existence of tone indicators.

I've been pretty out of it due to significant physical pain. I've been using Lemmy as a way to talk to strangers I treat as friends, as a distraction I don't think too much about. I'm sorry for any confusion. I send a stranger's well wishes.

I'm genuinely happy for you that Windows works. It didn't for me, but that's alright. And sometimes an OS is just a tool, not an identity.
