literally the first thing i see after booting is game pass ads on my lock screen. i'm getting ads before i've even logged in. on a paid copy of 10 pro no fucking less.

"i turned off the lock screen" cool so every time i start my computer i'll simply disable another windows feature because microsoft decided it needed to have ads or bing or copilot bolted onto it now. got it 👍

it pisses me the absolute fuck off that there is basically nothing we use in our everyday lives that is not either choked with ads or emblazoned with corporate logos. i stopped watching TV largely to get away from the incessant advertising, and the fact that my operating system is trying to take its place is giving me extremely violent thoughts

i mostly just skip it... they're small enough so i don't really pay attention to them. i like it when they give cool facts about whatever picture shows up on the lock screen though, it makes it worth it for me....

I think there is a class of system administrator that knows how to turn this kind of thing off at the network level and universities and the like have lucked in to keeping them around - for now

don't have a choice in this bitch of a world, all the software i work with doesn't have Linux versions, MacOS is prohibitively expensive and an entirely new ecosystem to me and I lack the computer prowess to do any of the difficult stuff that either lets me use MacOS on any other device or lets me get rid of the ads.

the very first thing i see when i wake up is ads pervading every square inch of my entire world. i ain't pretend i can opt out of what i can't opt out of. the evil machine won. if i could just go "nah, actually it didn't" then we wouldn't be so mad all the time
