ubuntu unity adds a feature that sends your search queries to amazon over https. this feature is enabled by default but can be turned off. RESULT: community-wide outrage, massive backlash, feature is set to opt-in and has since been removedwindows 10 adds ridiculously invasive spying to its operating system, bakes in ads, bundles candy crush, forces restarts for updates, aggressively forces upgrading from windows 7/8/8.1 for an entire year, uses the insider rings to test buggy updates, repeatedly "accidentally" resets the default browser to edge, injects advertisements for edge into the operating system, advertises onedrive from the file manager, forces invasive telemetry on users that can be made less invasive (but never disabled) by upgrading to the more expensive version... RESULT: outrage, backlash, etc. some hold on to 7/8.1 but eventually give in. windows 10 becomes the most popular OS in the world. users accept that this is the way things are now.:megathink:

"oh yeah, she just posts these giant advertisements now. it's not too bad since you can just scroll past them.""she DMs me repeatedly to call me a wanker but i just muted that word and now the DMs don't show up""i mean, considering all the work she does on the posts, $150 isn't too bad a price for the premium subscription"

@Bisexuhell there are easier to use distros like elementary and mint that don't require usage of the command line

@lynnesbian you forgot: overwrites other OSes partitions when in need for space during updates… partitions declared in the very partitionning schemes Microsoft designed (MBR & GPT)…

@lynnesbian Linux desktop environments are all terrible. People will value usability and convenience over pretty much everything else.

@lynnesbian people who use Ubuntu can quickly move to another distro, putting pressure on Canonical.People who use Windows can quickly realize they have no alternative 🐈

@mmu_man @lynnesbian had no idea that such a thing could happen. Note for the future: aggressively free disk space before any Windows update; keep updates paused as much as possible.
