Comment on Anon has a tip
Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 16 hours agoPeople have this weird fetish for “Microsoft Bad”. If it comes from Microsoft, it’s bad by default. Reality doesn’t matter.
The fact that Edge is just objectively a better browser than Chrome is irrelevant, because “Microsoft Bad”.
The fact that Bing now provides just as good, if not better, results as Google, because Google enshittified its own product is irrelevant, because “Microsoft Bad”.
The fact that Copilot runs on the exact same models as ChatGPT and gives practically identical results is irrelevant because “Microsoft Bad”.
Etc., etc.
microsoft is bad. google is too. and so is openai.
edge used to be internet explorer, which used to be known as the worst browser ever. and if you care at all about privacy, the chrome-based microsoft browser isn’t a good idea.
bing used to be really bad.
copilot gets shoved down every window user’s throats.

And Linux used to not have a GUI. Are you going to complain that Linux is too difficult to use because it used to be command-line based? What even is this point?
and if you care at all about privacy, the chrome-based microsoft browser isn’t a good idea.
When comparing Chromium-based browsers you don’t expect much privacy at all. But even comparing Chromium-based browsers people will still go “ughh, Chrome is better because Microsoft Bad”, which is just a stupid thing to say considering Edge has everything that Chrome has and then a bunch of features on top of that. Including better resource utilisation.
bing used to be really bad.
See first paragraph.
copilot gets shoved down every window user’s throats.
What’s the point you’re trying to make here?
And Linux used to not have a GUI. Are you going to complain that Linux is too difficult to use because it used to be command-line based? What even is this point?
When do you think Linux didn’t have a GUI? CDE was released in 1993, and let’s be honest: nobody used Linux before 1993.

See? This is exactly the childish shit I’m talking about. “Microsoft bad” is all you need to get upvotes, but if you state some cut and dry facts that are not attacking Microsoft, you get downvoted.
