once again i have to ask: how do people who main windows live like this

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 👍

To anyone that ever says "BUT IT WON'T WORK IN LINUX IT'S WINDOWS ONLY"

Try wine. You'd be fucking amazed what runs in there nowadays. I've been using linux daily for almost a decade now and I'm still fucking amazed at what runs without issue now.

And yeah it (wine) is not as easy as "just" running it in windows but neither is circumventing microsoft shoving more bullshit in every quarter so why not at least try? If it works that's one less person using windows and one fraction less money microsoft makes doing this bullshit. Every bit counts.

Turned off lock screen. Have no need for it.

Th Esteemed Deed Commemorator @spineflu11/30/2023, 6:12 PM

turned off anything but the jpg for lock screen. that shits for business majors.

miles @deimosphoibus11/30/2023, 6:12 PM

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....

@sadmac35612/2/2023, 3:22 PM

Same honestly. If only so I know what search terms to use because I want that photo as my wallpaper now

Siph @Siph11/30/2023, 6:38 PM

I use Windows Entreprise (Education actually but it’s the same thing I got the license with school) so I don’t get ads and some of that kind of shit

gabriel (2 inches taller)@ArtificialAngel11/30/2023, 6:39 PM

I forget they exist until I accidentally click on them tbh. It's so ineffective at being an advertisement that I only remember it's there when it's inconveniencing me. If I vaguely like the picture I search it after I log on so I don't have to see it with the ad overlay

Extremely Begrudgingly

Talen Lee @TalenLee12/1/2023, 6:27 AM

I have never seen this, and I work at a uni with 'in the wild' copies of windows.

Like this is definitely bad, but I can tell you why I don't have a problem with it: I've never seen it

Petra @petra12/1/2023, 6:30 AM

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

abadidea @0xabad1dea12/1/2023, 4:19 PM

I never saw it on my work computer either until last night so you may be in for a surprise in the near future

Or maybe they just forgot about Australia

bp @bp-12/2/2023, 12:47 AM

I'm told the trick is to set the computer to English (World). This apparently turns the ads off.

Vadym @YellowAfterlife12/3/2023, 4:04 PM

That's not even the lock screen itself, that's the Bing Picture Of The Day thing ("Windows spotlight" / "Fun Facts And Tips" according to settings).

Never seen it try to sell me anything though.

Totally a normal recommendation that applies to any good OS

JKDarkside @JK-Darkside11/30/2023, 6:18 PM

What can I say, linux terrifies me (and I use a lot of windows only software)

Yseult @yseult11/30/2023, 6:22 PM

i just... turned off the ads? still have the lock screen though.

ayo this dog fucked up ΘΔ @orion-pisces11/30/2023, 6:42 PM

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.

Ableton is not one of these apps.

gravis again @cathoderaydude12/1/2023, 6:27 AM

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

walking mirage @atomicthumbs12/2/2023, 5:42 AM

we should kill it

walking mirage @atomicthumbs12/2/2023, 5:41 AM

eventually you will have turned off so many things that your operating system will be a beautiful, perfect spindle

@aune12/1/2023, 5:52 AM

the answer really is "you disable more and more with each update" now and it sucks

Plum @plumpan12/1/2023, 6:01 AM

I highly encourage people to write a live boot USB and try wine. If the program is large enough it might require an install or at least a persistent USB but, I feel like learning linux is a much more useful skill than learning what registry BS to change in windows.

But some people absolutely refuse to touch any CLI and I think if nothing else one would need to launch the application installer with wine file.exe and if you're not even willing to do that then... yeah, sure, have fun with the ads.

SArpnt @SArpnt12/11/2023, 5:44 PM

in all my experiences you can just double click the exe in your file browser and it opens in wine already, you don't need a terminal for that
