No doubt current day Windows is a capable device for all tasks. Too bad it treats you like a free user by clogging your operating system with ads while spying on you like a crazy stalker.
- baz00 3y agoI don't get any ads. But yeah I'll give you that on the Telemetry.
- smoldesu 3y agoHonestly it doesn't feel any different for me on MacOS. Both OSes push first-party music and cloud services, both OSes beg you to use their browser, both OSes show news with their own built-in ad networks. At this point for Windows 11 and MacOS 13, I'm shocked how little these OSes have meaningfully changed since the early 2000s. Both companies feel like they're taking a detour around user empowerment to focus on Selling Moar Services™. While we're looking at things from a retro-idealist lens, even Android and iOS seem unnecessarily bloated. It feels like the vast majority of every FAANG's engineering effort goes into crippling the user nowadays.
