Comment on Xbox consoles getting full-screen ad
AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 11 months agoIf you are on windows 10 or early, you can disable those. Not sure about 11. It’s just a few powershell commands.

Windows 11. I went looking for how to turn it off and found out how to turn off all the OTHER ads, but not that one.

If you are on Linux… Then you will never have to deal with this.

Proton really did change the game. I don't even need windows anymore at home.

Depends. All it needs is some big distro to ad remote-loaded-image automatic backgrounds to the lock screen, and there you are. Whenever that image swaps to an ad, you’d have it on your lock screen, too.
Don’t misunderstand the ability for advanced users to disable or swap something (because this is trivially disabled on Windows, too) for an inability of companies or even groups of non-commercial volunteers to make shitty user-unfriendly decisions.

I agree, in my experience it’s usually some higher up making these dumb decisions. It happens to video games daily

Just because it “could” happen doesn’t mean it will happen.
Also if that happens then you chose the wrong distro

It would definitely never ever happen, only maybe a little bit, but really it’s just a plug, which is like not an ad.
