  Thing is, having to run a startup script to “remove” it means it’s not being removed. It’s being hindered at each boot.

  Fighting against copilot has been a struggle as Microsoft consistently tries to inject it into every single application they can during updates.

  We deal with very restrictive international regulations and the fact that they have not simple made a “fuck off” check box is going to get them into a boiling pot once the data they are scraping after ever update that reactively needs to be remediated gets added to their stupid “ai” and is able to be accessed.

  Microsoft needs to get their shit together and provide and opt-in during OS install (corporate or not). A large banner should be displayed over the whole screen for 10 seconds “MICROSOFT IS TAKING ALL OF YOUR DATA AND SHOVING IT INTO A DATABASE THAT CAN POTENTIALLY BE ACCESSED BY ANYONE, AND THIS INCLUDES INFORMATION RESTRICTED BY INTERNATIONAL LAW, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS AND ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION YOU HAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER” so that and users know that they are being sold and not an owner of what they are paying for.

  Willing to bet that they get more ad revenue from “adult ad’s” than they do children’s ad’s and they are banking on that happening so they are entertaining the idea to see if it works out.

  Even with the loss of underage content creators, this will just drive users to other channels and give them free reign to show whatever ad’s they wasnt.

  Onshape is one that I recently learned about.

  I normally use SolidWorks but its annoying just because I need to switch over to my windows install any time I want to use it.

  Onshape is similar to SolidWorks and is intuitive. Browser based and much more powerful than TinkerCAD. Also has a free license. The only stipulation is that anything you create there is considered open source.

  The only caveat I see is updating the server/app regularly.

  Updating is definitely recommended for sure but I find myself waiting between updates. I’m still running 1.134.0 and have been for a while just because I’m not having any issues and haven’t gotten around to it.

  I agree with everything else here as I have had the same experience.

  I think at this point we should stop calling things like this misguided. They aren’t.

  It is a global effort by the ultra wealthy to instill fear and control in the majority populace of the world… The working class.

  These measures are calculated to dissuade people from even attempting to rise up against the system out of an abundance of fear, designed to keep them in control as long as possible while they rape the planet and people of its resources, happiness and strength to fight. All so they can continue doing whatever they want because they likely won’t be alive long enough to see the long term effects.

  Do I believe there is an inkling of good in there, sure but that little bit of good is from the under/uneducated populace that probably really do have good intentions when voting for these things. These people likely have no understanding of the underlying amount of data that is being collected on them and everyone else.

  Just like me typing up this response, it’s probably being recorded somewhere other than on these instances and being parsed by some computer scanning the internet for discontent and trying to tie it to anything it can in regards to a physical person.

  The goal is maximum control. The only people that are misguided are the ones voting for these things that don’t understand the ramifications. The ones that don’t care and/or are in a position of power are not misguided.

  You know where we should start, the Epstein files. They don’t want to do that though because it would disrupt a lot the ruling class from retaining power and expose the fact that these things that are happening behind closed doors are tied to them more than the working class. There would be worldwide repercussions.

  It’s not just about human trafficking and accessing adult content. It’s about war, the environment, money, and control.

  The fear (in the ruling class) is starting to show, just a little bit. The cracks are forming, but the more influence they have over the uneducated helps them to maintain power. The world needs to keep the pressure on and let the ruling class know that we don’t stand for this.

  The American government and corporations are a massive part of the problem. I say that as an American. I’ve never voted for the orange dildo and from day one have been openly opposed to him and probably 80% of the people in power. That being said, this is also a global effort. It’s not just happening here, we just have the biggest incompetent mouthpieces in the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Full Circle / EA confirm again that skate. will not support Linux, Steam Deck or macOS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can downgrade the installation and get it working again, however it’s a bit cumbersome and time consuming to do so if you don’t have a good internet connection.

  The guide is called “How to reinstall WRC V1.8.1” on the steam community.

  I have been running it this way for a while.

  I’ve mentioned this before but I very much think this is an underhanded deal between MS and EA to try to limit the exposure of their users to Linux by intentionally breaking or not allowing it to work from the start. Especially with the Steam Deck gaining so much momentum and MS trying to release their own handheld device.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The upcoming skate. from EA will be unsupported on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck due to anti-cheat⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, but I think they do it anyway as a preemptive tactic to reduce the share of users on Linux as much as possible.

  Every time there is a small wave of users that transition to Linux it means less market share for Microsoft. The more users that get on Linux and have a pleasant experience and things just work means a better reputation and word of mouth spreading between people which translates into a greater potential for even more people to make the switch.

  Things like this start slow but once they start to gain traction it can turn into a much bigger problem for Microsoft and they know that. So it would essentially be them trying to “nip it in the bud” before it becomes something that they are too far behind on to get control of.

  I very much believe there are some underhanded deals going on with these gaming companies and Microsoft to intentionally not allow them to function on Linux at release or sabatoge (looking at you EA WRC) games after they have been released in an attempt to force people back onto Windows.
