Why has OP’s post been downvoted to begin with?
BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Some Lemmy clients make it insanely easy to accidentally down vote things without even noticing you did it.

Voyager when you want to move back to your feed is a good example of this

I got an email advertising Windows 11 features. It was a mandatory service email they would not let me unsubscribe from.
What is wrong with these people?

Please don’t run end of life software… (I’m assuming you are on Win10)

This obviously sucks. But what led to this situation? Either it forced upon you at work, or you spent money on it, set up an account with e-mail and some other form of real life credentials, im- or explicitely agreed to all sorts of “telemetry”, and now you’re here.
There’s a non-profit, free and libre alternative right there for the taking. They spent decades on making the process of installing it as convenient as possible, not to speak of the OS itself. Switch now.

Last time Microsoft tried something like this, they got the shit slapped out of them by federal antitrust regulators:

Ah, the Golden Age of the USA… with a functional judicial system… I feel nostalgic

“Shit slapped out of them” is a bit of a exaggeration

Your employment was removed
Your work caused a problem with your default job setting, so it was reset to Microsoft Copilot.

As an aside, what web browser is everyone using these days? Chrome is obviously out. Firefox seems to be fucking up as of late. Opera? DDG?
egrets@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Firefox is fundamentally fine; a lot of the recent-ish news about it has been sensationalist (and it wouldn’t be surprising to find that Google or Brave LLC were seeing it, honestly, though I’m totally speculating).
The AI stuff is just them exposing the DOM to an LLM of your choice, if you want to, to stay competitive with the other browsers. If the telemetry is an issue for you even when you’ve changed your settings, use a fork like LibreWolf.
grue@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Mozilla sucks and its management needs to be replaced, but Firefox (or a fork of it) is still the least-bad option.
danc4498@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Phew. I still use Firefox as my primary.

Satya, stop trying to make Edge happen. It’s not going to happen.
valtia@lemmy.world 1 month ago
As opposed to silently changing your default browser?

NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 month ago
What was the problem? It was set to not Microsoft Edge.
