Windows is annoying. I like my computer just doing computer stuff. No AI. No Ads. No forced upgrades. No thanks. Just do the computer thing please.
Forced upgrades are necessary, people would put off updating for no reason
Bad updates are not necessary
OS upgrades vs security updates is a whole different ballgame. We should not confuse the two.
Windows forces major upgrades in many cases, sometimes rendering the device inoperable because OS upgrades carry inherent risks. Forced upgrades are simply irresponsible. We need that consent to let the user back up files beforehand as a bare minimum, even overlooking the ethics side of user consent. Is MS going to fix my parents PC when they break it?
Forced updates? I see the argument, but I have to insist on user consent at all times. By default is okay. Explicitly violating the human’s will seems wrong. Software should serve people. But I can understand the argument even if I don’t agree with forced updates.
Wait until AI, Ads and Forced Upgrades becomes the definition of “computer stuff”.
i used to care about windows… i had to use and support it at work, it was easy to crack and maintain. then something changed and i walked away into linux land.
i still need to care about windows at work, but instead of getting all anx-y i just laugh it off. my employers are getting exactly what they chose.
its HILarious when shit doesnt work… a new version breaks all inter-company communication, all that nonsense is just pure entertainment now.
my canned response is ‘were all beta testers now, buckle up’

😂 absolutely best attitude. Maybe I need to do that at my job (what a shit show that is).
At this point I just have a windows 10 VM for using Adobe. Got a key for like $7 on some sketchy site.
And I was actually kinda liking windows 11, but it’s just clear where this is headed.
That’s not legal
Illegal stuff is bad, m’kay?
Why would you pay $7 when the key is probably free for the person you bought it from? Just don’t activate
I actually had that realization yesterday. At this point I hope they keep doing it and making Win11/worse. I’m not moving out of Win10 and I have Linux on all my other PCs, and this should push more people into Linux too.

Hello, fellow Lemmy.zip user
Hello fellow citizen
Linux is freedom, Windows is serfdom, Mac is just dumb.
As a Linux user who moved to Mac, it’s not even remotely dumb.
The other day I wasted who knows how much time trying to get an old version of Xcode to run on macOS 14 because I needed to upgrade the OS for some other unnecessary reason. At least on windows has reasonable compatibility. Macs are different from PCs because they are not ‘personal computers’, they are devices that you buy from Apple with a limited set of computing functionality
