I feel sorry for anyone stuck on a Windows system for work. Pouring one out for your system resources.
Last week I almost missed my train because of windows update.
Every day my hatred for Windows, well Microsoft as a whole really, grows. Every time I launch the almost incomprehensibly bad piece of shit that is Outlook, every time I have to restart explorer.exe because of some dumb bug that I remember from Windows 7, every time I try to mount a network share that has the same hostname as an already mounted one, every time the start bar launches Edge (not my default browser) to look something up on Bing (not my default search engine) despite my having turned that feature off, every time I have to dive into some settings to disable yet another copilot button, my desire to break into Satya Nutella’s home when he’s on vacation and spill old milk all over his furniture increases by a noticeable degree.
I appreciate that, thanks.
i had to use a w11 laptop today, it was so horrendous to navigate.
LOL, the debloating lasted what… less than a week? They are way beyond any chance of redemption
You will see us be more intentional about how and where Copilot integrates across Windows, focusing on experiences that are genuinely useful and well-crafted. As part of this, we are reducing unnecessary Copilot entry points, starting with apps like Snipping Tool, Photos, Widgets, and Notepad.”
Proceeds to increase unnecessary copilot entry points

microshit is also forcing yet another price increase for all 365 garbage on July 1st too… reason, ai dogshit. they are losing money so they gotta jack everyone’s monthly/yearly costs. glad I will never pay for this shit lol
I become even more glad and grateful of Linux with each passing day!
The PC Master Race has become mostly Windows users who literally have no control over their own computer except in the tiny little play areas that their actual master race overlords allow them to play in.
I love it when they add Fucking AI to background processes on my work box. They put it in the damn spell check last time, tell me that’s not logging all your input -_-
Anyone have a link to a guide on how to remove Copilot as much as you can? It keeps showing up on my computer at work and I’m so sick of it.
Installing Mint did the trick for me!
Bazzite is good if you are a gamer.
I would but it’s a work computer and it’s out of my hands. I’ve already tried running mint on one of them and about 70% of the software we use doesn’t even remotely work.
You can also try using flyoobe.
It’s just a script that runs scripts to remove annoyances from windows, and a lot of the things it does can be done without local admin
*don’t put Mint on your work issued machine (unless they said its cool)
Good advice.
I actually did put Mint on my work computer - but I have a great deal of leverage (hard to replace), and my boss likes me, and the Windows 10 to 11 uograde had failed several times, and all we we being measured on was getting off of Windows 10.
I’ve been running Mint for work since just before the Windows 10 end of life last year, and it has been lovely.
Ask me anything, of course.
But obviously, most folks should never do this without some kind of blessing from their employer.
Someone I worked with did that and got away with it somehow. He would get an occasional nag but mostly they just let him do it. Wish I had those cajones.
These "install linux’ solutions started but the more time passes the more viable they are.
(since the Linux distros improved even more and Microsoft did a lot to worsen windows)
Depends on when. There are config scripts to use during installation that let you pick what you want. After installation use Windows Shutup by O&O software. I can’t vouch for it being 100% effective but it appears to do the job.
Didn’t microslop have an antitrust lawsuit for something similar? Something something Internet Expolorer windows 98?
What Windows? There’s no Desktop in the future. There’s just a Signup… LOL, the fuck I’m gonna be signing up to any MicroSloppy shit.

I just moved to macOS
It truly is an awful series of UI changes they made. The huge rounded corners look terrible on top of this issue^
Don’t forget the terrible implementation of glassy ui: https://mastodon.social/@lensco@mastodon.world/115184867033621399
Or their terrible icons: https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/
Or how every element is broken in unusual ways: https://blog.johnozbay.com/what-happened-to-apples-attention-to-detail.html
I just had an aneurism reading that😂😂😂, and líquid glass works perfectly fine. So far I really like the change.
Solution: give everyone the option, via command-line, to enable enterprise data protection.
I opened Copilot at work, saw a green shield, and clicked on it. Enterprise data protection may solve some issues some of you have with Copilot. Not all. For one, it won’t use what you ask to train it. It encrypts the data. It does tell you IT can log your queries. It also mentions it censors results. I don’t like Copilot, but sometimes, it can be useful, in the way that sometimes, Word can do something Pages doesn’t do well. The rift is wider between Excel and Numbers, but I’m an Excel guy. I won’t make the obvious pun. I really do like Word and Excel, but when the price literally doubled and there was nothing I could do (apparently some people were offered a classic version — not me), I just canceled. I was fine paying them $50 or $60 a year for Microsoft 365, even after switching to a Mac, even though Mac never got Publisher (which I also enjoy using). I wasn’t good with $100 a year. So now I just use iWork for free, and I have the benefit of saying my computer does not run any Microsoft software. Or Google, for that matter, though I do use some of their web services.
In an ideal world, macOS or Linux would be the dominant OS. In an ideal world, Amiga woulda never stopped being a thing. (I know it’s still a thing, but really… no it’s not.) It would be Macs and Amigas for regular users and Linux for server admins and uber nerds. (Not that you have to be an uber nerd or even a nerd to use Linux in our world.) That Windows has such a stranglehold is all the more reason to get the hell away from it. Especially with Proton on Linux making gaming more accessible than ever before.
it’s been dogshit, wrong and slow as fuck everytime I’ve attempted to use it for work. I refuse to use it. I’m quicker then that pile of trash.
AI can get fucked
