I am kinda glad they went to shit so quickly. If it were slow, I probably would never have gone fully Linux. Now, I have all 5 of my machines free of corporate spyware. I am having fun again configuring and learning. Thanks microslop! I needed the push.
Too late. I’ve already left. Never again.
yeah nah. They’re claiming a lot of shit. Whether or not it gets removed is another matter.
I fully expect their bullshit to stay everywhere, they’re just gonna get quieter about it
Forever will be microslop. Scaling back doesn’t mean removing. It’s still essentially malware.
According to the headline, all they’re saying is, “we will bother you less (the degree of which, we aren’t clear), and we’ll maybe think about what to do with recall.”
Enjoying Bazzite.
Too late.
Major shit
shift
Oh, yes, I won. I’ve known for months. Microsoft have nothing to do with it anymore.
Three years late but thanks for giving me the push to switch
Prolific cannibal promises to review their choice in seasonings to be more tactful as they continue to feast on PC users’ privacy, freedom and last scraps of digital dignity on a global scale.
I am sure that this empty promise of change has everything to do with their user empathy and absolutely nothing to do with their recent financial results which indicated how hollow their AI-slop-bullshit revenue growth was last quarter.
oh so Windows is good now?
As someone with a foot in Windows and Mac, they both suck for different reasons and you’re trading pain in one for pain in the other.
Windows sucks because of all the stupid one drive and AI garbage. No, I don’t want my desktop and tons of other directories in one drive, stop asking me. The constant migration of settings out of control panel is maddening. Windows 10 end of life is fine, but cutting off older PCs from windows 11 for “reasons” was an absolutely horrible choice.
Mac is fine if you do super basic computing, but if you want to do much of anything it’s very annoying out of the box. Window management is annoying unless you get an app like magnet, the ribbon can’t be displayed on dual monitors and there’s no way of fixing the primary monitor, keyboard shortcuts are inconsistent across applications like command delete and keyboard shortcuts in general suck (command + shift + 3-5), the OS greatly dislikes network storage, etc etc. Macs were somewhat isolated from marketing needing a “new” OS every year until recently. Now they’re in the change for the sake of things to list on the new OS page trap.
Linux isn’t without fault, but my experience has been much more pleasant.
Linux has been the best option for 20 years. At least 10 years even for grandmas.
No.
We didn’t win until I can remove it all from my computer.
We call that Linux here and you can start winning today!
You could have done that anytime. Linux is right there.
I wish I could put Linux on my work computer.
The piece of nuance every one of these threads seems to miss. I have software that literally only runs on windows. What do? Rather than talk about how to make Windows work better, the best you get is jump ship!
They keep claiming that and then proceeding anyways with maybe a short period of backtracking. I’ll believe them when they’ve actually stayed backed off until the end of the ai bs. That said I’m never going back. I switched to Linux over 2 years ago in part because of the initial recall scandal.
Yeah this is what these companies do every time they get some heat. They never actually listen and fix their shit, they just back off and wait a couple of months until people are outraged about something else, then add it back in when they think nobody’s looking. Rinse and repeat until everyone’s too sick of hearing about it/tired of fighting it to continue.
I switched when XP came out. Microsoft started enshitifying then and never stopped.
Same here. Switched to Mint, now on Fedora. I’ve gotten used to the ecosystem and I much prefer it to Windows. Will never go back now.
But my left handed microscope scissors rat nail polishing encabrulator only works on windows 11 if it has AI! Whatever should I do?!!!
Rat flies out of the window nails, face ears all properly painted and polished… Then the windows 11disk followed by the rest of the computer parts and the bat that did it all in.
Nobody has won, they’re just going to the store to get some lube…
I won. I ditched Windows conpletely.
Alright, I’ll give you that… Welcome!

They could be using *BSD
