Who comes up with this stuff ?
Microsoft is very kind to let the user log in to their operating system and look around and feel at home. It’s like being in a computer hotel and you have a room as long as you keep paying, but you are a guest in your computer.
Microsoft: we’ll put your personal devices in a fucking HOA!
Apple: same, but we’ll mow the fucking grass.
Linux: fuck off. You are all ghetto trash. Here are the tools to address your problems. Use them or don’t. I don’t care.
Google: ….people still like chrome and YouTube right?
Netflix: piracy is for nerds! We will curate our library so you always have to find something else to watch, since what you paid for isn’t going to be there tomorrow.
Apple: we have TV shows too and they don’t disappear!
Amazon: but nobody watches you. With us, we have free shipping and hazbin hotel. We are basically glitch!
Glitch: the fuck you are. Watch knights of Guinevere to see what everyone actually thinks of all of you.
Me: …did I accidentally quadruple dose my adderall today?
microshaft used to be honest?
they’re talking about inheritance as a suggested new way to pay for your copilot subscription
You forgot to change it to “Don’t turn off our PC”
Hah, nice FTFY
No thanks
Who, the borg?
If “everything” means your personal information and data, sure.
Its even more literal than that.
Write them into your will.
Leave everything to them.
I think the thing that irks me more than anything else about Windows is that it always refers to itself as “us”. I hate it.
Some people must enjoy the idea that there’s a whole flock of people lurking in their PC, but it ain’t me.
I always just thought those messages were written as a group, like a Christmas card.
Barely related tangent, but maybe kinda related:
The Seattle Light Rail.
The train cars have computerized voice speakers for announcing stops and such.
When you get to a stop, they say ‘Please use the exit doors on my left/right’, depending on which station, where the platform is, etc.
But it’s her left. Not the left.
… The train owns its own body and is apparently alive.
All your base are belong to us.
What you say !!
You have no way to survive make your time.
Subtly reminding you that you don’t really own your PC.
It’s the royal “we”
when?
When was Microsoft honest?
in this ss of a win10 install. they’re giving you a heads up on what to expect. how awfully nice of them to not bury it in a 200 page TOS.
This in and off itself is ironic
