That’s okay, I hit the Windows uninstall button back in April. It’s been quite nice ever since!

...but was it the "Windows Uninstall" button...or the "format /dev/sda1 as ext4" button?

Nah I used the btrfs button

Mmm, butter... :)

Love me some btrfs, the snapshots have saved me a few times already...

I don't get it. People riot over less. Why is there not more ire, anger, and vitriol online?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Do they? Sure, people riot all the time with very good reason. But usually it’s like, they don’t have access to food, or they’re being forced to work longer because the retirement age is increased, or maybe because they’re being evicted from their homes. Certainly these issues are not in any way comparable to a software feature that some people dislike.

It's very carefully being shoved in by touching the waters and seeing how far they can go. The first few times there is outrage but after a while people get tired, miss that it is happening or simply don't understand what it's about. The changes aren't that big but as a whole work towards something nobody wants. Same as with a lot of laws and / or social changes.

Well, needed "bug" that's for sure

How this is good for Mircosoft though? It makes sense if they want to do it opt-out, but the only reason why I can think of they don't want it to get removed at all to sell data
