Through the magic of some basic research I found out that the image was likely taken in Somerset, UK

Here is a bigger image.

And here is an image supposedly taken in Somerset, UK. https://www.dreamstime.com/outdoor-outlet-mall-street-somerset-uk-outdoor-outlet-mall-street-somerset-uk-november-image130692146

The photo looks to have been taken around 51.1280652, -2.7406081

~~Apart from the fact that the location is wrong, it looks quite possible that the white signs and lines are photoshopped. Not that it really matters anyways, but right should be right.~~

~~Edit 1: it might actually be real:~~

Edit 2: Just noticed that article was published on the 31 march and I found another article that confirms that the image started spreading since then: https://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/update/2015-04-01/text-lanes-introduced-in-shopping-centre/

Unfortunately I was unable to find the original post by the mall.

TL:DR: It's an April fools joke from 2015 by a shopping mall in the UK.

FYI: You can still use windows offline and without an account if you use Pro or Enterprise and I assume education edition.

Oh, I didn't know they mentioned vscode specifically.

In that case I'm sorry for disturbing.

Any details?

Just saying the catch phrase "Embrace, extend, extinguish" doesn't give any context or information whatsoever.

Doesn't the internet ridicule everyone who slips up though?

Email? Thunderbird’d’d

Thunderbird is only a mail client. Don't forget to actually move from gmail if you want to degoogle.

Did she commit any crimes against humanity then?

You know that's a very serious accusation right?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Isn't military service mandatory in Israeli?

Well obviously. A severe violation of anything is considered worse by pretty much anyone.

I have no idea, I don't drink.

But if that's the case it makes sense since you shouldn't drink and drive at all IMO the limit should be treated more like a margin of error (because you shouldn't drink at all) and less like a limit of how much you can drink.
