Comment on Anon uses Windows
Windex007@lemmy.world 2 days agoForget the “bloat”. Windows has an advertisements engine. I’m not talking about some stupid OEM bullshit bundled thing… I’m saying the operating system itself.
My OS (that I fucking paid for, no less) shouldn’t be piping me advertisements and it sure as shit shouldn’t be harvesting screenshots to train an AI model.

Then just disable suggestions with a simple checkbox in the settings.
Windows only has ads if you let it.

You can be upset about 2 things: where things are, and where things are going.
It’s become very fashionable to ignore a trajectory. “Build 3 more prisons in El Salvador”.
The issue isn’t that at this moment I can opt-out. The issue is that the infrastructure inevitably demands usage.
If you’re not upset you’re a collaborator.
