This is not last time when we said we'd roll back Recall and then put it back in anyway. This time we'll roll back Recall (and, eventually, put it back in but please don't leave our platform!)

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)?

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

Won't be switching back to Windows any time soon.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

Too late! That and requiring TPM and SecureBoot made me switch. I love it.

Any remnant of Copilot left anywhere on the operating system is still a loss for the user and their privacy. Microsoft still wants user data, so they're not going to be getting rid of Copilot any time soon.

Goddamn, the line stopped going upwards didn’t it? Can’t have that.

Ok, so no Macroslop, just back to regular Microslop then.

[–] innkeeper@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah so they will run all of it under the hood just hidden from users without possibility to opt out. Just wait few months.

Consumers cannot trust Microslop.

If you haven't already, download and keep O&O ShutUp on your PC if you're having to use Windows and run it regularly, because Windows updates will roll back any changes you've made to its invasive settings. It will also help you delete Copilot off your PC.

I'd say too fucking late. Those who have had problems have already left. And the rest can't, for whatever reason. So walking back won't bring those who left back. Or even if some do come back, they'll leave on the first sign of shenanigans, cause now they know they have a choice and that it is doable.

I love all the Linux folks that can't ignore a single windows news article :)
