Wait until you find out that the OS fucks with your browser and makes edge automatically launch at startup without your permission. Unless you are living in the UK.Microsoft seems willing to screw with your OS as much as they are legally allowed to.https://t.co/bpuz1mvmoO https://t.co/0EYQUtcgGc
My next major project is to rid myself of everything in my life associated with Microsoft.I have 10+ years experience doing IT support in windows environments, up-to and including Active Directory administration and Azure.https://t.co/0sN8sMHi4P
Did you know you can run Elden Ring on Linux?https://t.co/XlDaJNaJUGhttps://t.co/EAHgD31kdA
Windows is installing spyware on my computer and forcing AI tools into my face that I don't want or need. They installed Microsoft Edge that autoboots at launch.I know so many who were unwittingly forced to upgrade from 10 to 11.https://t.co/hw9LDw8Cxn
This computer is going to run Lamda STack, and dualboot into POP!_OS so I can run proton. https://t.co/vcpdubUPVPAll my other computers already dual boot ubuntu or a flavor of Debian.Fuck abusive corporations taking advantage of effective monopiles.https://t.co/Hzt1SXQsBD

When you install Windows 11 on a new pc, the Default is that you are all but forced to get a Microsoft Account. And that account is now automatically backing up your documents to OneDrive without asking.https://t.co/zs79ubhoDA
The default path for installing windows is having an AI scan your documents. Do we trust them to do this?> "We're now proud to say that Copilot in OneDrive will begin to roll out in the summer of 2024."https://t.co/RD5abCTzBY
Microsoft acts like the want to hoover up and control everything.https://t.co/aJtF4gBHRb
Large scale push toward real-time voice-chat censorship on discord. Would have had it earlier had Microsoft actually bought them.Microsoft has the tech stack and patents to do it. (This is already applied to minecraft's text system IIRC) https://t.co/msoGczZ5YB

Having an omnipresent AI toolkit that is monitoring all your communications for anything that might be considered harmful.https://t.co/WQ6udqCOqFThis is fine. https://t.co/TBVDma7sFp
Remember, you can ask them for your data.https://t.co/a9s8NkkZut
But any inferences the AI makes from your data is Microsoft's possession. https://t.co/UruRBiTQkr

"Translations from Baidu, Tencent, and NetEase silently omit triggering sentences. Alibaba was the only provider to display an error message when sensitive text is inputted, but it will still translate content once the user removes the triggering text."

"As all AI detection methods have rates of failure, we have to understand and be ready to respond [...] we must seek stronger methods for maintaining and certifying the authenticity of news articles and other media." [2020]https://t.co/vRVV7dNyG0https://t.co/q5piwxYzzq
