Running Linux would block this feature too.

Just reason sayin.

Switching to Linux made me like computers again. Switching to Hyprland made me love computers again.

Switching to TempleOS made me hear the voices again.

Same story here! Im in love with computing all over again because of it. Too bad many are tricked into thinking Microsoft ia the only option.

Keep In mind that you can still be captured by this feature indirectly, ~~Discord for example certainly doesn’t intend to do anything to hide your messages, they recently went public so in their eyes more tracking the better.~~

I’m thankful to have made a feature request to Element/Matrix asking for them to prevent this exact thing.

Discord... Still isn't public?

They're certainly talking about it but they haven't announced a date yet.

Having said that, element and matrix are both more privacy respecting so I do agree with the recommendation in general.

Actually, Linux doesn't block windows, it just isn't windows.

Just reason saying.

[-] thann@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

Actually it does! When youre installing, just delete the windows boot partition and your done!

[-] somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Heck, wipe the entire disk!

(based on a real life experience)

(windows just kept standing no matter what partition i deleted so i wiped the disk clean)

[-] Albbi@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 weeks ago

Delete only the boot partition? Doug kick him off the tour!

[-] thann@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

You gotta have your old files! But man does NTFS suck ass

[-] RhondaSandTits@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

I only use Linux and I want Windows to just stay out of my way or it'll pay, listen to what I say.
