They should rename “remind me later” to “nag me later”.
Comment on Windows 10 and its shortage of "Never shove this screen in my face again" buttons

This is a thing that annoys me and it’s not just Microsoft doing this: there’s never a “No” button, it’s always “Not now” or “Maybe later”. As if i’m going to reconsider. As if it’s an honest offer worth thinking about and not a pop-up.

In the history of pop-ups, I’ve never wanted to be reminded later.

If anything, I’m even further disincentivised to log in if they’re threatening to remotely copy my hard drive. That just sounds like a scam.

With the current Windows 11 installer this doesn’t work anymore.
But you can download the ISO, use Rufus to create a USB boot stick and disable all the requirements (account, RAM, TPM, CPU generation) in Rufus’ options. Also lets you auto-deny all telemetry options and create a user account without prompting.FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 7 months ago
Why would you want Windows 11?

Because Windows 10 Support runs out next year.

It’s like an annoying kiosk salesman at the mall but he’ll show up in your livingroom when you least expect it.

I guess “no” implies “this is your only chance to permanently decide”.
“Remind me later” is obviously going to be an annoying reminder.
“Maybe later” or “Not now” indicates it can be changed later, but might also come with annoying reminders.

This is what life is like for women. So many men are taught to not take “no” for an answer, and just keep pressuring her, waiting for her to wear down and give in.
