So my company pays for Adobe, and I fucking hate it. I have to re-sign in multiple times a day because I own and use daily two personal computers, and my work computer.

They only allow two at a time, so it's just a constant hassle of entering authentication numbers.

People who steal this software literally have a better experience than I do.

Yeah I heard some of them had the gall to use the actual restroom on work hours. Like, get yourself a bigger bottle, and some better bootstraps! Amirite?

This is a good point. The cyber truck is never going to be successfully used by their idiot owners for anything but driving around on streets, hauling nothing.

Those that attempt otherwise, are shown the error of their ways.

Wow, that is a very pessimistic view you've brought into this thread about a cute and funny comic.

I think they're just trying to point out that not all dogs are like the one you've experienced.

It's entirely valid to not like them, but genuinely hating all of them on principal does seem kind of overboard.

He just couldn't work out what to do with the sticks. Insisting the sticks not be moved from where they fell was ultimately the problem, if you ask me.

Plants never complain, unlike all of us whiny primates. In a way, they could be far more moral creatures than anything else we're aware of.

In glad we got to the bottom of this. People. People is the right answer, everyone.

That's a load off my mind! Let's start a company. Maybe we can name it after what we're saving. Something like... Soylent green?

I heard the next version of Windows will ravage your whole family, and the only solution is to immediately wipe all of your computers and install Linux.

It's too late for me, since I hesitated. Bill's already outside. If only I listened to the obnoxious, uninvited, endless evangelism of the Linux userbase!

Woe is us, the users of the evil platform! Woe!!1!

@Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works avatar

Lol, it's not even a feature yet... And when it is, it will almost certainly come as an optional feature you need to opt into.

Or you know, you can just not turn it on.

The Linux evangelists always jump on this stuff without reading the articles. Do not be alarmed by them. This is currently just a beta feature that Microsoft is still testing.

If Microsoft announces that this is going to be forcibly installed on all versions of Windows, then we can grab our pitchforks. Ideally this would end up being an opt-in feature. If it's an opt-out when they release, again, pitchforks.

For now? Give them feedback if you're worried, otherwise move on with your day and do nothing.

This is conjecture. Maybe we should wait before we make assumptions? Am I being too logical for /c/technology?

Lucidlethargy ,
@Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works avatar

It's amazing how spiteful the Linux folks are... Look at all those downvotes on this.

You bring up an incredibly good point here. I can't think of any large business that would allow this. This almost guarantees that this feature will not be mandatory, to say the very least.

This said, I'd not want this on my work computer. I'd be concerned it could become a slippery slope of monitoring employees in the name of efficiency.

Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, does not believe in cryptocurrencies, calling them a vehicle for scams and a Ponzi scheme.

To be fair, that's because Crypto is a vehicle for scams, and a Ponzi scheme.

A bad one, at that. I think the reason many governments are going with it is because it's far less untraceable than some idiots like to believe.

It's to counter the racism, biggotry, and xenophobia present in pockets of American culture.

These shitty types of people avoid or hide within large cities - everyone is typically fine in these places. But small towns can sometimes have a serious problem with this if they are too "red" (Conservative).

In short, pockets of America are very tribal. People bond over similarities, and their shared disapproval of anything different, or out of the ordinary.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

Stop using this shitty service. There are much better options. I like Tidal, but even Apple music seems decent compared to Spotify.

The audio quality alone should be telling people just how bad spotify is.

We're not cut off! We have the freedom to go bankrupt and usually get most of the care we need.

I mean, sure, we could die even if we throw all we have at it. But we have the freedom to die! 'Merica!!

I've never understood the logic with the rent. Of course it's cheaper, the weather is shitty and you're stuck in the middle of fucking Texas. Texas is a trash state full of backwards laws and extremists.

I'm not sure I even own any devices that can't block YouTube ads. You can do it on anything running android, including Android TV.

If they ever fight this and win, I'll simply stop using YouTube altogether.

Lucidlethargy ,
@Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works avatar

No. I've never seen an ad.

You can easily turn these off in lots than a minute according to a quick Google search.

OP is specifically asking for help with Windows.

Lucidlethargy ,
@Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works avatar

This is such an amazing thread. Thank you to everyone giving good answers!

99/100 posts in Lemmy that mention windows issues are insanely unhelpful moshpits of Linux evangelists jibbering over and over about the solution to every windows problem being "install Linux."

So thank you for these awesome, genuine solutions.

This seems amazing, thank you for sharing it!

You do realize nobody but other Linux users care about this, right? In so tired of seeing people introduce Linux like none of us have ever heard about it.

We are aware of the other operating systems, thank you.

It's great to see Linux getting better support for games. It still doesn't support many titles, but it's good to see progress.

Bro, you really should get an ad blocker.

As for windows ads, every single one I've seen referenced so far can be disabled in under a minute by toggling a setting.

I mean, at least that sounds quick.
