I can’t tell if you’re trolling (or maybe a chat bot)



Not in the slightest. Not in operating systems, not in browsers, not in video games, not in software as a whole.

This is a post about Microsoft ruining their software. That software is distributed through automatic updates. Do you recall the campaign to get everyone on 10? That and the telemetry (spying) they added around the same time convinced me to disable updates. I eventually landed on a linux with only manual updates.


I guess I understand where you're coming from (having used Windows before and deciding to leave for this kind of stuff).

My initial comment was to be understood in general, though, not in the specific context of obnoxious update strategies.
