I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.
Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.
I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.
Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from themโsometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

in reply to @samanthaistyping's post:
There are going to be ways to disable it in the Group Policy settings, because these are the sorts of things businesses want/need to disable en masse. There'll be a guide for disabling this sort of thing once it hits wider release.
Meanwhile, we're going to downgrade to Win10 today.
welp better look out for that and tell my editors to maybe possibly eventually get us to opt out of slack's ai too 
I don't really know for sure but I bet there will be some kind of group policy or registry key to adjust to turn it off, I have copilot fully disabled with a registry thing right now although I'm not sure that's a smart way to do it...
This is not exactly what I did but I think it's the smarter way (? the group policy thing) https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/software/how-disable-copilot-in-windows-11
I ended up running terminal as admin and inputting this command:
reg add HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot /v TurnOffWindowsCopilot /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
Ok yea I think that's equivalent to what I did, I just did it through the GUI regedit application bc am baby afraid of terminal
the correct way to avoid this is, as always, wiping your current install and replacing it with Windows 10 LTSC IoT, which comes without most of the bloatware, doesn't get feature updates as often, and makes it easier to spot the crap that does make it through
