I like FreeDOS, and it works well for some vintage and modern programs I like, but it just simply isn't compatible enough with vintage Windows.
After spending way too much time on these shenanigans, I've come to the conclusion that it's much quicker, easier, and more successful to install Windows 3.1 on MS-DOS 6.22 than it is to install it on FreeDOS 1.4.
Even after trying every fix I could find (short of learning how to install a dev system specifically for rebuilding a DOS kernel from source, toggling a single option I don't understand), Windows refuses to start because it can't find a file that neither it nor FreeDOS installed.
blowing people's minds by telling them that #Cuil Theory isn't just a shitpost, it was inspired by a real thing that actually existed and prefigured this exact current ML-generated shitshow
Oh, that's why it gets stuck in a loop. The server redirects HTTP to HTTPS, and by default v1.99 responds by using HTTP instead. After turning it off, it's at least not looping forever anymore.
Please put down any drinks you might be imbibing. We lost another billionaire - to a bee 🤣 🤣

Ironically, v1.99 gets stuck in a redirect loop when trying to load Wikipedia.

I got absolutely filthy doing network installation work at a job site, so I used the gender-affirming one of the facility's gendered public restrooms to wash up. I cut myself as well (IDK how), so I used the same gender-affirming sink to clean it for a band-aid.
No one knew, and the only evidence anyone will find is of someone leaving the restroom at least as clean as she found it. Truly the perfect crime! Nyahahahahaa!
