    Windows is still constantly tracking you and stealing your data. If you trust MS at this point, that mistake is on you.

    Na that’s ok. I’m happy now with Linux. I’ve adapted. And now I’m thriving. Game surveys will be happily filled out to up that statistic of Linux use. Windows can take a miserable dive off a cliff while riddled with Russian STDs.

    According to the headline, all they’re saying is, “we will bother you less (the degree of which, we aren’t clear), and we’ll maybe think about what to do with recall.”

      And we will start pushing it again in six months time when people have forgot about now.

    No one’s fucking asking for AI except other corporations. It’s a very industry based circle jerk, consumers don’t give a fuck though.

    I’ve won when everybody gets the principles of free software philosophy, along with other essential freedoms, free roaming, free speech, free assembly, free press, free energy, free healthcare, etc.

    It’s the freedom.

    Free to use, study, share, change.

    The Free Software Definition

    The free software definition presents the criteria for whether a particular software program qualifies as free software. From time to time we revise this definition, to clarify it or to resolve questions about subtle issues. See the History section below for a list of changes that affect the definition of free software.

    The four essential freedoms

    A program is free software if the program’s users have the four essential freedoms: [1]

    • The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
    • The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
    • The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
    • The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

    A program is free software if it gives users adequately all of these freedoms. Otherwise, it is nonfree. While we can distinguish various nonfree distribution schemes in terms of how far they fall short of being free, we consider them all equally unethical.

    In any given scenario, these freedoms must apply to whatever code we plan to make use of, or lead others to make use of. For instance, consider a program A which automatically launches a program B to handle some cases. If we plan to distribute A as it stands, that implies users will need B, so we need to judge whether both A and B are free. However, if we plan to modify A so that it doesn’t use B, only A needs to be free; B is not pertinent to that plan.

    I thought I’d miss Windows more than I do, but there was no way in hell I was going to install 11.

    Glad I switched. Literally, the only feature I miss is the big, multi-format preview pane in File Explorer. That was very handy.

    “This is going very poorly, we will pretend to listen to our customers so it looks like we are course correcting, winning favor with investors and customers (big businesses, not home users).”

    They may even switch CEOs if the situation worsens, but the practices remain.

    This is not last time when we said we’d roll back Recall and then put it back in anyway. This time we’ll roll back Recall (and, eventually, put it back in but please don’t leave our platform!)

    “rethinking Recall”… again. Doesn’t Microslop understand anything?

  • hector@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    No you didn’t win, they are rebranding their enshitification and tweaking it, it will end in the same spot. Just like minneapolis “won” in getting the feds to somewhat back off of summary executions of citizens under false pretense for the moment. No one was charged, the state is deferring to the feds as if the 10th amendment didn’t make it their duty to prosecute crimes whose precedent would allow federal agents to summarily execute a governor under similar false pretense, contrived altercation, and get away scot free. Or a county prosecutor.
