For my “convenience” and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait

Also: I SET A FUCKING GROUP POLICY THAT DISABLES THE SEARCH BAR; WHY THEY FUCKING IGNORE IT???

      Love is a strong word. Hate it less is more accurate.

      That being said, Shut Up 10 is great.

        Windows is actually really good, you just have to know how to work with it.

        You CAN have a lot of control over it. Not as much as your average linux distro, but still a lot more than any MAC.

        Apple devices have started going through their user’s personal files as invasively as google does.

            My technics earbuds briefly connecting to my MacBook and my MacBook proceeding to launch an Apple Music sign up screen over whatever I’m working on in the 5 seconds between me turning music off on my phone and putting my earbuds away says otherwise. Apple are assholes too. They’re subtler about it than Microsoft but also much, much smugger.

              See? Apple wants you to have all of your shit connected to their proprietary spyware.

              And they did indeed start going through your files, they say they’re only doing it to check for CP, but lots of people who just had pictures of their own kids had false pedo-accusations thrown at them because of an AI that scanned and mis-identified completely legal content as something it wasn’t.

      Is the source code available for that anywhere? I wasn’t able to find it after a quick look over the website.
