Disagree, fine...but where's the alleged mocking?
It is a fact that that a loud contingent of people hate the Windows 10 telemetry. How is it mocking someone to say so?
If someone said "Those dentist visits you hate actually help you to live longer..." would you say that they're mocking you?
Or, was it the part where he said "What to do..."? I really want to know. Is this a case of you projecting your feelings about Windows telemetry onto the situation? It sounds like you're perception is way off here.
- colanderman 10y agoYes, "What to do" is mocking. It serves no other purpose in the paragraph; the author certainly isn't wondering what to do. It is a phrase often used to mock people who are having a (supposed) crisis of beliefs. I have zero feelings about Windows telemetry, having not heard of it before this tweet.
- WayneBro 10y agoPfffft. That's the big mock that made you type out three posts on HN? LOL. Wow. > the author certainly isn't wondering what to do. You don't know that. If people don't like the telemetry but it's really useful, I'd be wondering what the fuck I should do too - wouldn't you???
