Edit: Guys I didn’t write the headline; the subtitle that I added, I’ve now fixed tho

Edit: Also, the information about there being no escape is out of date – here’s a quick guide to how to fix the problem in the modern day

    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.

        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.

            Lol.

            As long as security updates are bundled with antifeature updates, this amounts to “install candy crush or go to jail!”

              You think it’s funny for your system to take part in an attack potentially costing billions of dollars in damages because you can’t be bothered to switch off of Windows because “you don’t like what Microsoft installs with their security updates” or “actually install security updates”?

          Sounds like Microsoft is the problem here. Their antics finally got me to switch to Linux with Copilot.

          Just curious, are you unvaccinated too?
