I put Copilot on MY taskbar —Microsoft
Exactly. It’s Microsoft ffs. They don’t care what consumers want. The only time they do anything truly beneficial is when the EU makes them.
i know you hate to hear this, but you wont get rid of these shenanigans unless you move to linux.
proprietary software devs will always be looking for more ways to monetize you.
I am on Linux. I just posted about what Windows users are saying.
oh, i reckon most people in this nice little corner of the internet are communist programmer atheists using linux and firefox, and are likely some flavour of queer.
Ya got me on the atheist and firefox thing
Unfortunately windows users don’t have choice.
‘Data Detectors’ in MacOS are just as bad. Just like how sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, sometimes a string of numerals is just a string of numerals.
It is not a phone number or a flight number or a ticket number, it is just a string of text that happen to all be numerals.
I asked Apple Support how to disable data detectors in Preview (MacOS’s native PDF and image viewer) so I could highlight some part numbers without MacOS trying to make a FaceTime call and they told me to use Adobe Acrobat instead! The problem is that Acrobat is worse.
Maybe I am just out of touch with the what the majority thinks, but this is honestly surprising. I am very glad to hear it, but yeah, I didn’t expect this reaction. Maybe from us Linux folks who just like reiterate the FOSS sentiments in protest, but not this. It’s refreshing.
I swear Microsoft has had this weird obsession with digital assistants for decades now and users just don’t want it every time.
There’s a new proof of concept malware that when an AI processes it causes arbitrary code execution and spreads itself to everyone on the victims email list.
This requires no input from the user
Yes please put more of this crap into every crevice of the OS.
I’m surprised Windows users even want windows 🤷
Windows power users? My ass. Any Windows power user knows you can just turn this shit off with group policy. I think what you mean is ‘we need something polarizing to write about hurrr’. That website is a joke.
Take your shitty garbage journalism back to buzzfeed you fucking hacks.
I actually thought Microsoft was doing pretty well 2015-2020, then these past few years some of their decisions have felt really anti user
