At this point posting these articles is just funny.

Hell, writing them is almost completely disingenuous.

Switch to Linux, cut the crap already everyone.

Microsoft doesn't respect you.

i was so squeamish about switching to linux after using windows since the 90s. so thank you MS for all the absolutely intolerable bullshit in win11 which compelled me to finally go linux and ditch windows forever

and i love the bonus of getting to laugh at every article about MS desperately trying to regain a shred of the consumers' not-quite-trust they've been shitting on for the last 15-20 years

go fuck yourself MS

The idea an operating system has add at all is so absurd. Especially since iirc one still needs to pay for Windows. Right?

The idea of charging money for an operating system is just so bananas nowadays. Shit, even Apple stopped charging for macOS over a decade ago.

But ads? and in an operating system that barely even fucking works? It’s just so slimy and grubby.

I mean the price of apple oses is kinda included with the hardware, not like you can get it any other way anyways. If you want to argue hackingtosh, it's called that for a reason besides from it being impossible at the moment on the last update.

I don't think any of their oses have ads as bad as the windows ones tho, maybe in some built in apps but windows didn't even put it in an app just directly there lol.

You can download copies of it from Apple‘s website. You can even sign up for the developer program for free and download copies of beta versions of their operating systems, as well.

You pay for the hardware. The operating system is free. However Apple does their internal accounting is their business. But you can download copies of it without paying.

And hackacintoshes are called that because you installed the operating system on hardware other than apples. But you don’t have to pay to get a copy of macOS.

"Windows announces strategic move to damage control after their PR team says their reputation is in the shitter."

Microsoft states, "We need some time for the consumers to settle down before we implement these surveillance and advertising features we promised to investors. We will be pushing a few quality updates and bug fixes before laying off the team that made them and swapping back to the regularly scheduled AI slopdates."

I'm still very happy with Linux. Microsoft can fuck off.

[-] schwim@piefed.zip 20 points 1 day ago

This likely has something to do with them removing the 32gb suggested RAM removal on their product page and replacing it with a laughable 8gb recommendation in light of the AI-rampocalypse.

"Microsoft attempts to prevent Linux installs by reducing requirements."

[-] siravious@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I’ve noticed a lot of windows improvement related posts lately, but absolutely none of them have mentioned a thing about the most important part which is yanking out that stupid fucking tracking ID. What is this, the “what Epstein files “ moment for Microsoft?

Doesn’t matter they’ve been making it shit for years and just at the wrong time. I’m with the other person on Let’s use Linux. Microsoft can fuck off
