    I remember so many examples of windows doing stuff like this.

    Specifically the most annoying I ever ran in to was Microsoft office click to run, like, as far as I understood it, it was a background service to update Microsoft office, it always ran in the background and would routinely eat up system resources, not a ton but way more than something like that should have been. It kept ignoring my instruction to not start on system start up, and kept getting reinstalling when I resorted to just ripping it out.

    Now why, you may be wondering would I want to get rid of a program meant to keep office up to date? BECAUSE, I didn’t use office, I didn’t have a license even, I had uninstalled it in fact, but for some reason click to run was still there like a weed. So many other annoyances with attempting to remove other programs I didn’t want or need but windows would just keep reinstalling.

    “eDgE Is A cOrE pArT oF tHe Os” y tho

    Anyways, that’s why I replaced windows as the OS on my computer.

    “ No you don’t understand it will improve user experience!”

    We’ll i’m a users and it’s not improving my experience.

    “Noooo it’s intuitive and more human way to interface!”

    I’m sorry but I don’t find it intuitive to have to speak in riddles and hypotheticals to convince the search engine that it should tell me something.

    “Ok but these are just teething issues the tech will improve over time.”

    Then put it back in the fucking oven because it ain’t ready yet. Stop forcing me to participate in this shitty alpha. If you can’t improve this any further without public trials then I’m pretty sure it will never be a viable technology in the roles it’s being forced in to.

    Drag’s a user with weird neopronouns and got upset when people didn’t use them. This started ‘discourse’ about not intentionally misgendering people just because you don’t like them, even if they use weird Neo-pronouns.

    Also went around telling people to off them selves. Got banned for it.
