Fucking hell I’m glad I switched to Linux for my desktop. If I could only convince the rest of my family.
Another reason on the pile - or more specifically an inflation of an existing reason - to not “upgrade”. Thanks for making the choice even easier, Microscum
Anyone else have zero trust in windows?
I have negative trust in Windows, in that I trust them to always fuck things up.
This feature is completely optional and is never turned on by default.
AI desktops sound like a privacy nightmare but right in the article they say, it’s not the default. Every time MS adds another shitware feature there is lots of warning, like this, and there is time for concerned users to find work arounds or jump ship to a more sane OS. We need less clickbait titles and more “how do we work around it” because MS doens’t care about users needs or concerns only increasing revenue.
May be how it starts though
Then start migrating. You could set yourself on fire, as protest, in front of the Microsoft head office and they would just count it as ‘engagement.’
One update can flip those switches
You know which OS wont flip a switch to enable AI slop features? EVERY OTHER OS
Install Linux or BSD, if you are rich buy a Mac that needs replacing in 3 years.
