I switched when a Windows update for the third time in a month forcibly changed the default pdf and html file association to edge.
That was like 5 years ago, and I’ve never looked back.
Comment on Microsoft is blocking Windows Customization Tools
MajorHavoc@programming.dev 2 months agoPeople who are modifying Windows this deeply are not going to switch to Linux
Yeah. Not just to avoid a quick file rename.
Although, I started out as someone who modified Windows that deeply, and I ended up on Linux.
One of my reasons for switching was when my favorite Windows mod stopped working, and there was no recourse.
This sounds like it goes beyond that and the Windows team is actively pushing modders out?
I think this will have an effect, and we will get more migrations.

Yep, Microsoft is also blocking some github scripts for disabling telemetry,etc. They are just making it worse for themselves

That’s why you block the telemetry at the router level as a big fat fuck you.

What do you mean?
Are these scripts being distributed via github or disabling telemetry on github?
quantumcog@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mean PowerShell scripts used to disable telemetry services on Windows.
