Bullshit and too late, bitches

Yeah, i'm never going back to that dumpster fire OS.

Oh, yes, I won. I've known for months. Microsoft have nothing to do with it anymore.

The only way to win here is not to participate

yeah nah. They're claiming a lot of shit. Whether or not it gets removed is another matter.

I fully expect their bullshit to stay everywhere, they're just gonna get quieter about it

Three years late but thanks for giving me the push to switch

I've won when everybody gets the principles of free software philosophy, along with other essential freedoms, free roaming, free speech, free assembly, free press, free energy, free healthcare, etc.

It's the freedom.

Free to use, study, share, change.

The Free Software Definition

The free software definition presents the criteria for whether a particular software program qualifies as free software. From time to time we revise this definition, to clarify it or to resolve questions about subtle issues. See the History section below for a list of changes that affect the definition of free software.

The four essential freedoms

A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms: [1]

• The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
• The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
• The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
• The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

A program is free software if it gives users adequately all of these freedoms. Otherwise, it is nonfree. While we can distinguish various nonfree distribution schemes in terms of how far they fall short of being free, we consider them all equally unethical.

In any given scenario, these freedoms must apply to whatever code we plan to make use of, or lead others to make use of. For instance, consider a program A which automatically launches a program B to handle some cases. If we plan to distribute A as it stands, that implies users will need B, so we need to judge whether both A and B are free. However, if we plan to modify A so that it doesn't use B, only A needs to be free; B is not pertinent to that plan.

This only happened because the line went down suddenly

It will continue to dominate the market (along with apple) as long as it is the default OS on new pcs.

The irony of having a copilot and right below this post

Cool, still not going back to windows

Too late, trust is already gone and im old enough to know all of this is CEOs bullshit and pure marketing.

No you didn't win, they are rebranding their enshitification and tweaking it, it will end in the same spot. Just like minneapolis "won" in getting the feds to somewhat back off of summary executions of citizens under false pretense for the moment. No one was charged, the state is deferring to the feds as if the 10th amendment didn't make it their duty to prosecute crimes whose precedent would allow federal agents to summarily execute a governor under similar false pretense, contrived altercation, and get away scot free. Or a county prosecutor.

...for now.

I swear. Society at large will never learn from Microsoft's games.

Good

Hopefully the rest of the industry takes note too

"rethinking Recall"... again. Doesn't Microslop understand anything?

After pushback from users? Or after realising how much it's costing them on the server end?

Still planning time to test zorin on my machine along with mint and lubuntu.

I mean... it wasn't exactly difficult to predict this outcome. How many of their employees actually found it useful outside of the C-suite (where they thought it was fantastic because it bullshits just like they do)?
