- Comment on Microsoft tries to convince Windows 10 users to buy a new PC with full-screen prompts 5 weeks ago:
It could run 11 but MS won’t let me.
The stuff microsoft is making mandatory for windows 11 is good stuff. You can’t enable core isolation on hardware that’s not compatible with windows 11
Any PC running hardware that’s too old to have the features you need for 11 would need to be replaced soon anyway
- Comment on Microsoft's free Bing Wallpaper app for Windows is borderline malware 5 weeks ago:
there’s ways to not install it and there’s ways to get rid of it. Just so everyone knows. You can also use an app like simplewall to block any of the garbage in windows from connecting to the internet at all
- Comment on Microsoft tries to convince Windows 10 users to buy a new PC with full-screen prompts 1 month ago:
any computer still using hardware that’s not compatible with windows 11 will need to be replaced soon anyway
- Comment on Microsoft is launching a $349 desktop PC that only runs Windows 11 by streaming it from the cloud 1 month ago:
Oh…so they just want to take all control away from the user? I won’t be buying that, I’m sure it eats up a fuck ton of bandwidth too
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 4 months ago:
there’s probably going to be third party tools to replace it.
- Comment on Microsoft is reviving Skype on Windows 11 by removing ads, reducing clutter 5 months ago:
you mean they discontinued it? I wouldn’t know, I haven’t had skype installed in a long time.
- Comment on Windows 11's Netflix loses Downloads, downgraded to Microsoft Edge-based web app 5 months ago:
nobody uses apps from the microsoft store once they learn about the desktop app versions that are way better.
Only mentally handicapped people like my siblings and my dad use metro apps.

Thanks to O&O shutup10++

- Comment on Microsoft Edge experiment blocks access to settings if Windows 11 is not activated 7 months ago:
Oh no! I can’t use microsoft edge! what am I going to do?!
I might have to just block its internet access with simple wall as soon as I install brave
- Comment on Microsoft is confident Windows on Arm could finally beat Apple 8 months ago:
Or, as my brother-in-law often says when he’s frustrated with technology: “I don’t want to know how it works, I just want it to fucking work.” Lots of people consider computers to be just tools, like a hammer.
That kind of mindset needs to be a thing of the past. Not having the patience to figure out how things work is how every war in my lifetime got started.
- Comment on Microsoft is confident Windows on Arm could finally beat Apple 8 months ago:
why are they always trying to compete with apple in the worst ways possible?
If people wanted to use apple device, they’ll just use apple devices.
Seriously if anyone from microsoft is reading this, ask yourself, why did so many people LOVE windows 7 and hate windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11? Windows 8 is where it started going off the deep end and now we’re at windows 11, where literally every change you’re making is causing more and more people to teach themselves how to use linux.
And now to salt the wound, you fuckers are blocking people from using third party apps to make their systems work the way they want them to.
That’s how you’re choosing to compete with apple? to make your OS as shitty as possible? To take as much control away from the customer as possible? Are you sure that’s the hill you want to die on? …Okay. Your funeral.
- Comment on Microsoft blocks even more customization apps in Windows 11 version 24H2 8 months ago:
we really need to have a revolution in every workspace and making everything a democratic worker-owned co-op
- Comment on Microsoft blocks even more customization apps in Windows 11 version 24H2 8 months ago:
I don’t understand why microsoft “felt pressure” at all.
People loved windows 7 and hated windows 8. But they kept doing more of what the customers hated over and over, and now they’re blocking people from using the work-arounds that make their systems usable for them.
- Comment on 15M Trello accounts have been leaked 11 months ago:
remind me again how digital IDs are going to make us safer when every company with people’s personal details is constantly getting hacked?
- Comment on Lockbit Ransomware Cripples Australian Ports, Chinese Bank 1 year ago:
Crypto by its nature is somewhat murky and we’ve never really known who hold what or how many whale institutional investors have been pumping and dumping coins to circumvent troubling anti money laundering KYC regs etc
Many crypto currencies that no one has ever heard of are worthless and will always be worthless, but bitcoin, manero and dogecoin are worth something. bitcoin and manero are worth A LOT, dogecoin is worth almost nothing, but its value goes up and down really fast and really drastically every time it changes.
Also it’s a good thing that no one can track who has what amounts of which crypto currency, don’t you think? That way the banks can’t monitor or control it.
- Comment on Lockbit Ransomware Cripples Australian Ports, Chinese Bank 1 year ago:
crypto currency is good. I’m talking about central-bank-digital-currency being bad.
The dictatorship of Australia just went cashless and their systems for managing it have failed to work the way they’re supposed to multiple times now.
- Comment on Lockbit Ransomware Cripples Australian Ports, Chinese Bank 1 year ago:
digital currency is a good idea…right?
Not only does it allow the banks to monitor everything we buy, not only does it allow the banks to lock us out of society if we don’t obey, but it’s also hackable.
I said all this because the nanny-state known as Australia went cashless recently and implemented digital currency made by the banks
- Comment on The number of contributors to an open source project seems to inversely relate to the number of CVEs published (normalized over the age of the project and the Lines Of Code) 1 year ago:
if we know about the exploits we can set up our security to prevent malware coming from them.
