"[...] switching the default search engine back to Bing [...] from Google Search (or whatever other browser is set as default)."
Google is a Browser now, neat. And somehow it's relevant in a post about search engines.
"Microsoft Edge, the default browser pre-installed on Windows machines, and Bing Search aren't bad products by any means - they are solid alternatives to Google's own Chrome and Search."
They may be good compared to Chrome and now also Google. But even rotten eggs are better than literal shit, at least for most people.
My grandma call me saying she's sick of Widows and its shenanigans and asked me to install gentoo on her machine next time I come around. Gonna be a fun weekend.
I fought with Broadcom's shitty website for hours, but finally have Workstation Pro, in which I will test my workflows in Linux.
Games and Lightroom will be a challenge, but I'm going to avoid Win11 at all costs.
these clickbait anti microsoft ads weren't amusing in the late 90s on slashdot and they aren't amusing now.
What is a slashdot?
my sarcasm meter is broken so i hope this is sarcasm but if not oh you sweet summer child
Slashdot was founded 26 years ago. I'm almost 40, so when I say this, I mean it-
Don't condescend to young people about being children. You're just old now. Embrace it. Explain things nicely or be one of those old people we hated when we were young.
Well, windows xp is older than I am
We all know you were born in 1938, usernames don't lie
Hey, my weekly reminder to tell you that I, a Windows 11 user on five computers without any special tweaks, have never seen a single one of those ads people keep talking about on Lemmy.
Lemmy demographic feels like mostly Linux users.
Lemmy posters are on vegan level of promoting Linux, and sith level of hate on Windows.

right? the clickbait is just absurd. and i say this as someone who lived through the whole slashdot "m$" phase where you couldn't blink without seeing an anti microsoft piece on there
I love how the lemmy FoSS Linux hivemind still down votes you to almost oblivion.
They still haven't figured out this isn't reddit. Shouldn't downvote just because you don't agree with something my dudes...
this isn’t reddit.
Correct, hence downvoting here is meaningless.
