This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This needs to happen with Appl too. AppleTV/Safari/Messages/etc app for MacOS + SIP my ass. Its not integral and if you've made it so you need to unmake it so, along with other bundled crap. SIP should literally refer to that and only that in aggregate which is necessary to ensure the system is able to function, not per se function in an un-overruleable way for the maker.
Don't forget TV brands like samsung and LG who force some apps down your throat even if you don't want them. You can't remove those apps. Amazon is even worse with their firetv devices, they just install apps on your behalf that you can't remove. We don't own anything anymore.
Wait Windows users are allowed to manage their software ?!? Get out of town.
As a certified windows user, can confirm, I do not have free will to install anything
Or just use Bulk Crap Uninstaller
I just bulk crap uninstalled windows and moved to Linux
Linux users truly are the vegans of the tech world.
Ain't that the truth
In both cases, I've encountered a lot more people complaining about them than I have obnoxious Linux users or vegans
People actively seek out annoying people to justify themselves.
They seriously cannot stop talking about Linux... At this point, It's endlessly annoying, as it's on literally every post about any operating system.
Nearly every post is about Windows or MacOS yet when someone mentions Linux suddenly it's a problem?
I also hate how Windows and MacOS are mentioned on every post about operating systems yet here we are. Why is no-one talking about Temple OS?
But seriously why doesn't your rule apply to the other operating systems? Perhaps no-one is promoting Windows because it's not the OS they chose, it's the OS they got and it's their god given right to be miserable and make sure everyone else is.
How dare I care about my operating system choice and how I use my computer. How dare I recommend it to other people. How dare I try to convince them to give it a go because it might be better for them. As a Linux user I am truly scum, the worst of the worst.
Do you think people never hear about Windows, iOS, Android, etc?
I think you just get irrationally angry when people bring up something you don't use. We get it, you use Windows btw.
I find it kinda staggering you think it's not appropriate for someone to mention alternative OSes on a submission where people are criticising an OS lol.
Let's apply that thinking to another product: Samsung TV does bad thing. Do you think it would be inappropriate or unusual for commenters to mention that other TV brands exist? If not, then why is it different for this other tool?
Way too late...I switched away from Windows 100% already. Linux works perfectly fine.
Does this also impact Apple, will they also need to allow removing Safari? If yes, is it possible that they might allow removing other things like iMessage and Apple TV?
If even MS themselves calls it "benefits", why not enable it for all by default?
Because fuck you.
You Linux supremecists are so edgy...
I use Linux sometimes, too... But like... This shit is getting so old.
We get it, you like Linux. Now let people talk about other platforms without constantly talking about your platform.
I only have Linux on my servers at home and at work, as well as on my laptop, and I agree with that, it's arrogant and getting so damn old. Lemmy has such a boner for Linux and loves shoving it in everyone's faces.
your platform.
You do realize you're posting this on a opensource platform, which runs on Linux, and is maintained by volunteers who are enthusiastic about this stuff?
If you don't like all the Linux talk here, feel free to move to a proprietary platform instead, maybe one with a red alien logo...
Because Linux, by its very nature, is the solution to these kinds problems, but if you insist on suffering through using Windows thats on you.
Was half-expecting Rick Astley ngl
I give it less than a year before this goes the way of the Windows 10 start menu registry tweak.
Why is this a topic at all? Don't you own your machine?
I'm surprised I own my shoes at this point. Any tech bros wanna take care of that with an app?
Can you just do right click uninstall? or do you have to follow a 12 step hacker method that would cause updates to stop working until you reinstall windows again?
Windows has become the most bloated ad-infested spyware os in existance and more people are leaving it more than ever before. In just few more years, it will be a thing of the past
Debloat windows if you need to use it for work or something
A youtuber that actually devs and provides tools for the public?
What a gigachad.
