Or nothing you clown. Nobody cares.

yes, I did, you just didn't have any retort to it. we're still waiting on you to explain why it's bullshit when microsoft announced it themselves and it's been covered on dozens of tech journalism sites since early 2024. there's literally a toggle in the control panel to turn personalized ads off.

You were wrong about this from the beginning, so go back to reading CNET and jerking off about Linux superiority.

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

see? I showed you. you can't handle it so you're just crashing out and refusing to even bother trying to refute it, because you know I'm fucking right.

here's the Microsoft support page on advertisements. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy-settings-for-recommendations-offers-in-windows-11-807608ee-3de2-4498-8e7c-eb10d655567f

If you choose to turn on Personalized offers, we will use information about your device and how you use it, including Windows diagnostic data, in combination with your account info and data collected by other Microsoft products and services to offer you personalized tips, ads, and recommendations to enhance your Windows experiences. Personalized offers include suggestions on how to customize and optimize Windows, as well as ads and recommendations for Microsoft and third-party products and services, features, apps, and hardware to enhance your Windows experiences. For example, Windows might tell you about new features to help you get the most out of your device. If you stream movies in your browser, Windows might recommend an app from the Microsoft Store that streams more efficiently. Or, if you are running out of space on your hard drive, Windows might recommend you try OneDrive or purchase hardware to add more storage.

cry more about it all you want, but Microsoft themselves say you are wrong, and I am right.

Ok pal. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

what's gonna help me sleep at night is you finally being honest and admitting that Linux is superior.

[–] 0ndead@infosec.pub -1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Nah. You just don’t know how to computer good enough.

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

says the one still using the OS made for boomers who can't figure out how to send an email. you can talk about people "computer"ing good enough when you take the training wheels off, kiddo.

even if it was Mint, it would still be a step above what you're using. I recommend you try Mint when you finally decide to stop eating crayons.

Hit me back when you graduate to RHEL

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

you mean the dumbed-down Fedora spinoff that offers enterprise support for corporations that can't figure out Linux by themselves? I don't need to pay for somebody to hold my hand, but thanks.

congrats on being handy enough with Google to find a random distro name to toss out there. pity the one you picked was for chumps who got scammed into paying for something that's free.

Know what I love about you Linux fanbois? So. Fucking. Easy. To. Bait.

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That’s a lot of words for “distro I’ve never used before“

you baited me into roasting you over the coals. well done. the only reason we're still talking is because we made a bet over matrix on how long I can keep you responding. I figure you're the kind of person who can't walk away without getting the last word, so I expect you'll keep feeding the troll for a day or two until you give up.

Good luck on your quest to be a winner. Sorry if this kept you up all night.
