One of the reasons I no longer work on windows 1. Log onto a server 2. Need a browser to run some stupid tool, everything besides edge is removed 3. Edge shows "setting up profile" with multiple steps (cant be skipped ofc) and after setup it goes to new tab showing shit ton of ads and stuff lagging the RDP session explain that, macroslop | |||||||||||||||||||||||

My favorite part of that dance is, "Do you want to import from Chrome? [no] Should we import your data from chrome? [no] Ok, time to import your data from Chrome. [skip]" It asks you three times right in a row. Really weird. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

> One of the reasons I no longer work on windows Amen. I can't take the abuse anymore so I run Linux at home and if I have to interact with Windows I try through Wine before firing up a VM or breaking out the Surface that mostly collects dust. I'd rather run ReactOS in production than use Windows 11. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Can you still curl the chrome installer and run it as a user without elevated permissions? Seems a lot faster. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

I like the word macroslop. But I think we give Microsoft too much credit with that word. To me it is just miniscule in thinking - so the name I use is microslop, the spam-AI company. Showing ads is what these microslop companies do - by abusing the end user. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
