This is Microsoft’s latest annoying addition to Windows.

    JFC people have a hard on for Linux here. Every single article about Microsoft has this comment. We get it, Linux good… Windows bad.

      Well come on, what do you expect people to say?

      We’re discussing yet another anti-consumer dark-pattern implemented in Windows. These changes aren’t going to stop. The so-called enshitification will continue.

      What do you expect people to do? Not talk about the viable alternatives? Just say “that sucks but I really think we should stick to Windows, guys. Deep down, Microsoft has our backs 🪟🥰”?

      It’s almost as if we’re on Technology, a place to discuss technology. Such as OSes.

      I find it funny that you’re on Lemmy - presumably because you found Reddit to be hostile to their users - and yet you’re getting annoyed about people complaining about a platform being hostile to their users. Ironic, no?

      I know it’s repetitive, but (some) people still don’t seem to hear it. Everyone complains about windows doing a million annoying things, but so few actually consider an alternative. Some people need to be reminded that they don’t need to wait for Microsoft to fix their problems. Admittedly, I doubt very many of those are in this community, or on this platform though.

      99.99% of what you need on Windows works well on Linux, and without all the upsells and ads.

      The sooner there is an exodus from windows the sooner MS asks “why?”.

        I use both. Most things in the space i work in still need Windows. Please don’t assume what i do or do not know.
