It's very telling that despite changing to the "settings" menu for user settings, they've still got links to the old menus 10+ years later. I think the powertoys community has done more windows feature adds than Microsoft has in the last 20 years.

If a human being tried consent this way, they’d be a sex offender.
"Got it, I'll send you fewer unsolicited dick pics"

Silicon Valley has always been run by rapists, so that checks out :)
YouTube is also guilty of this behavior. Every month it's "got it, we'll show you fewer shorts". Zero. I want zero.
You can remove them with custom uBlock rules:
www.youtube.com##:matches-path(/)a#thumbnail[href*="/shorts"]:upward(7)
www.youtube.com##:matches-path(/)a#endpoint[title*="Shorts"]
I wish I had the permissions to install ad blocks on my work laptop. On the plus side, the kids I work with are learning that ads are to be disliked. When an ad interrupts something we’re watching, I go “booo.” Now one of my students does it, too.
At least I can consider it a form of inoculation - gotta teach ‘em young to resist the ever-present ~~brainwashing attempts~~ advertisements.
I wish I had the permissions to install ad blocks on my work laptop.
Me too, what is up with not having an adblocker or bring able to install one? So many ads pose security issues and not being able to block them is just annoying and unsafe.
The internet got a lot less annoying after I learned how to use uBlock Origin's "Enter element picker mode"
Youtube is worse. If you click "dont recommend this (far-right rage-baiting) channel" it says okay, and then leaves you alone for perhaps a week.
After, right back to square one as that channel is in your recommended feeds
Your clicks say no, but your algorithm is telling me yes. 😘
Shit like this is why freetube exists. Subscribe to the channels you want to see, get only those channels!

Have tried to exterminate Jordan Peterson recommendations for years to no avail.
Really? I have managed to completely block a few channels from getting recommended, including one I didn't want to block. Annoying thing is there's no way to manage these blocks, only remove all of them at once.

Modern internet is impossible to use without a copious amount of plugins. Every website has some fucking cancer that needs to be removed in order for a site to be even remotely useful.

They know it’s addictive, and they’ve designed it that way on purpose.

If a software monopoly that is too large and important to society to be dismantled or avoided, and it uses that power to abuse its users and defy regulation, shouldn’t that company be nationalized?
Could you imagine if YouTube was nationalized and then the govt shutdown and utube traffic controllers stopped coming to work because they weren’t getting paid
Youtube nationalized, gov shutdown, and everyone starts uploading porn and movies because all the moderators stopped coming to work.
You don't have to apologize for teams. Everyone knows nobody uses it for fun. Only work.
True, it was more of a parry for the inevitable dont-use-teams-comment
Does Microsoft understand consent?
a) No b) Nope c) Fuck no lol
a) Yes.
b) Ask again in 15 days and 3 hours.
I’ve been listening to way too many Behind the Bastards podcasts in a row this week, but, apparently, Peter Thiel’s pick for the antichrist is a nebulous finger point towards the anti-AI movement.
All of it, the data centers going up faster than a fireworks tent on fire combined with decreased regulation and the dismantling of democracy reads as pure Thiel.
In short, this AI crap isn’t going away anytime soon.
Can we all get together across the country and burn down as many data centers as humanly possible? Seriously, just a wave of wires across the country.
If local city council representation would simply vote with the wishes of their voters, then we would have no data centers.
These people are guilty of fraudulent representation and should be recalled.

I knew you were going to use Microsoft as an example. They're very rapey in behaviour.
Would you like to receive my penis?

At home I'm on Linux but yes I also have a work laptop and I hate windows more and more daily.
Same for me.
I’ve suddenly been getting regular Windows notifications from Adobe asking me to set them as the default PDF app.
Very annoying when I use Adobe reader once a month or so to sign documents.
They tried AI the nice way and nobody gives a shit about it but billions have been spent already so they are tightening the screws to make you use it. This is late stage fuckery and hopefully the whole thing will collapse soon.
It's up to the OS, software or web app and I'm happy to report that not all of them do this.
But I have noticed that on Win11 this seems to be the standard. On those rare occasions. Particularly funny (not really) if they're phrased in such a way that you have to think hard which specific kind of temporary rejection you choose, for fear of messing up.
Do you want to eat shit?
- Yes please
- Remind me later
Thats been a thing for many years.
