Thanks for ruining the rotating login screen photos you assholes, I actually liked those
I’m sure everyone alive on Planet Earth already knew about Todd Howard’s latest Gamebryo-powered mess
I love that this ad is presented just like a picture of a savannah or a castle
it’s only going to get worse, you know what to do
Critical support to Microsoft for making Windows more and more uninhabitable and Linux increasingly sexier for all
Communism will win, even in cyberspace and software
This type of shit annoyed me enough that I’m swapping most of my computers over to linux. Yeah, I can use tweaks that may or may not work to stop a lot of the bullshit, like ads in the search bar, but when they constantly upgrade my fucking computer and revert the changes I’ve made, or keep advertising the newest windows I don’t want to switch to, or force links to open in edge, it’s become too much to deal with.
I installed the newest debian, and it feels like all the promising stuff that was on the horizon years ago, the last time I tried to switch, has matured and gelled together into something quite good. Btrfs snapshots are awesome. Steam works pretty well. Flatpaks work great, and when did gnome get good? It’s nice. I like it.
Anything owned by a corporation will just shove fucking ads everywhere and try to lock you into some proprietary user-hostile garbage and make everything awful, eventually.
I’m currently setting up a pihole to get rid of as much bullshit as possible on every other device in my house, too.
Yeah, I followed this guide: https://youtu.be/e_EfmKdP2ng?si=hpokllOb_H3Da2X6
all my homies block microsoft adservers with a hostsfile
As an idiot who just built my first machine, do you have any links on what that is and how to do it? Everything i’m finding on google either seems kind of sus or is from a decade ago, but i sure would like to have 0 ads in my life.
