Settings is the bloat. Control Panel reigns supreme.

Half the shit I actually want I just run directly these days, rather than nosing through either.

  • ncpa.cpl
  • diskmgmt.msc
  • devmgmt.msc
  • control userpasswords2
  • cmd
  • mstsc
  • regedit
  • taskmgr

Just to name a few.

Settings is more accessible to casual users.

Fuck. Casual. Users.

Edit: To be clear "make it easier for casual users" is some MBA bullshit. The casual user adds nothing to technology - when those retards get involved, things enshitify because they let it happen.

Causal users shouldn't be fucking around in settings since I can attest with factual data that 0% of casual users actually know what the fuck they are doing.

So delete Settings and only allow Control Panel

Until they call me because the setting they need isn't in settings....

[-] Romkslrqusz@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

In that case, they wouldn’t have found it in Control Panel anyways.

Otherwise, they would have opened Control Panel.

They better not touch my damn control panel. I'll fight a microsoft systems engineer. They can be added to the list.
