Comment on Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it
Starbuncle@lemmy.ca 4 weeks agoI think that any operating system that mostly runs 3rd party software should be legally required to open-source at least the components necessary to run said 3rd party software. Also, OSes should just straight up not be allowed to show ads, full-stop. Making people buy hardware and then bloating the OS with ads in updates is a bait and switch and if our government had any balls, would be illegal.

Not to mention that we pay for the bandwidth they use to show us ads. Like WTF! Since when did NBC as people to chip in for them to show us McDonald’s commercials?

Not just the bandwidth, but RAM usage, energy consumption, and cache storage space. Ads cost us money.
