[-] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 67 points 4 months ago

Grab 'em by the kernel.

When you know for sure a statement (or reality) makes it impossible for something to gain mass-market adoption

Thennnnn comes the general public

Literally yes

This was pretty informative and shocking.

And then Chris Titus made this video

They literally record everything you do, at least if it is a "Copilot plus" PC with a "neural engine".

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Literally yes

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

For people who say you should read the contract before agreeing to it. What about the hundreds of thousands? No, millions of people buying new windows laptops every year. Are they presented with any kind of agreement? I don't think so.

[-] Krtek@feddit.de 5 points 3 months ago

Oh they are when they first set up Windows

[-] StaySquared@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

The same is happening with some of these new "smart" vehicles. Built-in software in these vehicles are the anti-thesis of freedom and privacy.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the damage in this screenshot?

[-] odium@programming.dev 45 points 4 months ago

High background resource usage.

[-] trainden@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 4 months ago

Ah, the light blue between the 2 lines is background usage? I wouldn't know, I use Arch btw :3

[-] Successful_Try543@feddit.de 8 points 4 months ago

Thanks for asking. I'm using Debian and didn't know either. :p

[-] odium@programming.dev 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I too have used arch btw. Currently using pop (deb) tho. I hop around from time to time.

nah i don't care that you're using windows who the fuck still uses eclipse

[-] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 13 points 3 months ago

Eclipse is Free Software and as such it is valuable even if better commercial options exist.

[-] ArcticAmphibian@lemmus.org 5 points 3 months ago

Why not something else free? Geany, etc.?

[-] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 9 points 3 months ago

I personally don't use a full IDE, but KDE's Kate.

Pretty funny how it says "Unauthorized access" right below screenshots of features clearly being enabled.

[-] John@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 3 months ago

But in the end of the day, there is no intended way to turn off Telemetry fully.

[-] sebinspace@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Could airgap it, but then you’ve airgapped it..

Do you understand windows update is changing settings to defaults right? They are overriding user configured settings on this toggle. That is malware

To be fair, the access is authorized

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 50 points 4 months ago

Authorized without consent. That is what Louis Rossmann calls a rapist mentality.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 months ago

I agree with that dude’s takes but he rubs me the wrong way.

"Authorized" in the sense that even if I set all these options to No, a future Windows update will reset them and not tell me.

[-] AutumnSpark1226@lemmy.today 13 points 4 months ago

Authorized by not denying...

This stuff affects the user experience too. I’ve been able to daily drive Linux at work for a few weeks now. Restarting and booting into windows, after being used to Linux on the same hardware, makes windows feel like the slow, cobbled together OS that you can get for free.

I mean, we’re a Microsoft 365 company like many others, but even things like Teams and Outlook feel more responsive in Firefox in Linux than in the native apps on windows. Even video conferencing works great.

This difference isn’t exactly new to me, and I’ve used Unix or Linux sporadically over the past couple decades. However, using it as my main work OS has really highlighted the differences. Hell, even the multi-monitor support is better!

And this is with Mint Cinnamon installed, not some cutting edge or lean & fast distro.

ITT: Libertarians advocating for corpos with rapist mentality calling it "consent".
