You can disable so-called essential components and I believe it ships without almost any of the bloat. So essentially you could just take one drive out, or not have it in the first place. Or at least that’s my hope

Unfortunately we’re a game company 😕 so maybe not much of a match. But if anything like that comes up I’ll let you know
My company would be conducive to this. What kind of dev are you? We are not hiring right now but I can pass your resume along if it’s a fit. We’re tiny so it won’t just get lost in the shuffle
It’s ltsc an option for 11 like it was for 10?
That’s funny but I think Son is easily the dumbest billionaire. He’s also the bag-holder for the whole WeWork grift.
More like, “they will be offered part of the proceeds of any further watches we steal.”
I don’t know if I’m personally part of the class, but if I am, as relief I would want an injunction for them to fucking leave me alone, not shares in their operation.
I stuck with 7 for an extremely long time under similar reasoning. Like I missed win 8 completely and only got 10 in maybe 2018. And only because I needed a version of directX for work that was unsupported on 7.
And it was the same shit back then. 10 was pulling a lot of the same tricks. Ads, reinstalling candy crush without permission, more bloat and antifeatures.
Eventually a combination of third party tools and understanding of how to keep the garbage at bay made 10 tolerable. And, I guess, now 10 is the semi-reliable legacy alternative to the current shitfest.
Is there a Shutup10 analogue for Windows 11? Or an LTSC? Not looking forward to having to go through that dance again. But I assume the day will come.
I think it’s fair to acknowledge that everything is a trade-off, and without downvotes, we have to accept the downsides.
I’m not sure that’s true - I’m pretty sure it comes from Japanese and other Asian games like Maple Story, then it got picked up by mobile games companies as they were figuring out monetization there, especially Zynga.
constantly screwed over by apple changing things on their platforms.
This was it for me. Like, you’re going to blame valve because apple keeps pulling the carpet out from under devs and users?
No. How about you, are you anti-abortion?
I’m not sure I follow the last “or” clause, but you can bring the criminal liability to Microsoft if you think it should attach for this reason
Lol.
As long as security updates are bundled with antifeature updates, this amounts to “install candy crush or go to jail!”
I’d be fine with what you describe in the second paragraph, but that’s not what’s meant by “forced.” That’s opt-out. Forced is what’s really objectionable, especially when it’s abused, as discussed in the article and elsewhere in these comments.
Even at the risk of Microsoft adding more spyware to my machine, reinstalling apps I deliberately uninstalled, reverting privacy settings I set, strongarming me into using their browser, etc? All of which has been reported.
My hardware, my choice.
Meh. You’re not just talking about just making it automatic or easy or recommended, but actually forcing everyone to have to go along with it and taking away the option to not do it.
Let’s have the authorities force us to eat salad and exercise while we’re at it, it’s better for us
Yes thank you. I’m pretty worried about what happens without this guy. We still have Ed Markey but he’s up there too.
Much as a lot of the worst people in government are relics from another time, age discrimination doesn’t behoove us, IMO. Some of the best are also the most venerable. I’d take Bernie in a heartbeat.
