This screenshot shows a itsfoss.gitlab.io webpage that is an obvious imposter of itsfoss.com.

Also, sometimes, the color green is used by imposters, keep that in mind.

A quick reminder that itsfoss.com is the only URL for our publication. Sometimes, green is the impostor (IYKYK).

When you try Windows 11 after using Linux for years:

The image depicts a bald, bespectacled man in a white lab coat leaning toward the camera in what appears to be a hospital or medical examination room. He wears a green shirt and tie and has a serious, clinical expression, as if addressing someone lying down. Behind him, slightly out of focus, stands a nurse in a white uniform near pale green privacy curtains. 

The low, tilted camera angle makes the viewer feel like the patient, giving the scene a sterile, tense, and mildly unsettling atmosphere, as though difficult news is being delivered. (this text via LLM)

The doc says this: I'm afraid it's been 9 years.
