Comment on Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows

  Every time I use windows, I run this debloater script

  Ironic having to use an open source script to make a closed source OS behave itself.

    Irony (noun) … 3: Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.

    How is that ironic? It seems like exactly what I would expect: open source software prioritizing human wellbeing instead of corporate profits.

      How is that ironic?

      The irony is having to use one kind of licensed tool on another diametrically opposed type of licensed tool.

      Its not how the tool is used (as you described), but the licensing of the tool, versus the licensing that the tools being used on.

      I’ll be blunt, that seems self-evident, not worthy of your reply. But, if you have a better word for me to use than ironic, please let me know.

        I guess if you think it’s ironic then you do you. I’ve been using OSS software to make proprietary OSes not suck for almost 3 decades, and that’s exactly one of the things I expect it to do.
