Or you could use a pihole to block their telemetry collection practices.
Or you could prefer to play games and recognize there’s only one real option for playing the new ones
Or you could hate them, but you work at a Windows shop.
Please don’t assume everyone forced to use Windows enjoy Microsoft’s practices.
Do you eat Nestle food? Are you aware of the evils of that company? Are you in support of those evils, despite being a consumer?
- cycloptic 7y agoI'm not trying to diminish your situation, but it seems a bit hyperbolic to suggest that anyone is forced to use Windows. If you really are being physically forced to do so against your will, that seems like even more reason to avoid them as much as possible.
- jammygit 7y agoThe standard for “being forced” doesn’t have to be “gun to the head.” It can also be “is unemployed”
- cycloptic 7y agoI'm confused, is this not a website for hackers and entrepreneurs whose response to unemployment is starting your own business? Or am I in the wrong place?
- jodrellblank 7y agoa) the way you say "hackers and entrepreneurs" as two separate groups, suggests they are two separate groups. b) if true as claimed, why would such people as you imagine being here ever experience "unemployment" in the first place?
- cycloptic 7y agoI get that there are plenty of "job-hoppers" here. I wish they would start more businesses instead.
- dkersten 7y ago> Or you could prefer to play games and recognize there’s only one real option for playing the new ones Yeah. A PS4 for all those amazing exclusives ;-)
- craftyguy 7y ago> Please don’t assume everyone forced to use Windows enjoy Microsoft’s practices. very, very few people are going to implement everything you suggested. Please don't assume your one anecdote is relevant for everyone else. > Do you eat Nestle food? No, I do not.
